― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 17 April 2003 05:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

no, kate and mark. ooh, bonnie! i had a crush on her

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Thursday, 17 April 2003 05:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh, so two random ILX sightings:

1. I'm in Sydney at a bar, and I'm just introduced to a friend of a friend, and he goes... "Phil? From New York? I've been reading your posts on ILE!" [what the fuck??]

2. That SAME day at the same bar, this other friend of a friend who I've met a few times and hung out with a few times turns out to be Charlie No.4 from ILM... craziness. insanity.

Sam - yes I was! Looking horrifically in a state? Pink tshirt, brown skirt and black trousers? *waves*!

I didn't see you, but I did randomly see a goth that I met last Saturday night (I did not say hello cos I've forgotten his name).

― Sarah (starry), Thursday, 17 April 2003 11:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Just say "Sebastian" -- that's usually a boy goth's name.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 17 April 2003 12:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

I see Cprek pretty often (almost as often as I listen to his radio show), but I've known Cprek since long before ILX even EXISTED.

I saw a sign on a church that said "BINGO" and I thought of Chris V.

I am suspicious at how rarely I spot any ILXers. There are loads here in london, and apart from Pete once I have never bumped into any of them. What are the odds? I mean, I've only spent like four or five days in Paris, and I ran into a pal there (I've mentioned this before - it was comic writer Grant Morrison). I think they are hiding from me.

I saw Carsmile Steve from the window of the 41 bus. He was wearing a long blue coat and looked very dashing.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 17 April 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Sorry, cookies, that would have been me, Anna, who saw Steve.

― Anna at toby's (tsg20), Thursday, 17 April 2003 19:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Geeta on Avenue A.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 17 April 2003 19:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

i randomly met killian in the pub the other day

― robin (robin), Thursday, 17 April 2003 21:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Matos in Starbucks
Matos in Kim's
Matos at the Voice (not so random)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 17 April 2003 21:53 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ha! One of my friends told me she thought she saw Matos at a bar in TriBeCa a couple weeks ago. He's everywhere!

― felicity (felicity), Thursday, 17 April 2003 22:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

i saw tim f at his work (so i guess it wasnt that random), and keith mcd at the buzzcocks show a while ago

― minna (minna), Friday, 18 April 2003 02:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh Andy B. on Bowery.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 18 April 2003 05:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

I was walking down 7th Street the other day and I heard someone yell my name. It was Matos. I felt like such a celebrity.

― hstencil, Friday, 18 April 2003 05:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

The East Village is teeming with IlXoRs!

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 18 April 2003 06:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Julio pointed out Dave Q to me on Angel tube station last night.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Friday, 18 April 2003 06:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

what I wanna know is: did matos shout out "HSTENCIL! I blame you!"?

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 18 April 2003 07:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

haha amazing this got revived.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 April 2003 09:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

Downtown is teeming with Matos!

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 18 April 2003 15:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

No, he shouted out my real name, which was prolly even more disturbing.

― hstencil, Friday, 18 April 2003 16:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

and was it out of a car h?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

it was out of a LIMO, plebes

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 18 April 2003 17:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

no he was sitting outside at a bar, sipping a beer, being interviewed.

― hstencil, Friday, 18 April 2003 17:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

I was being interviewed by (another) vampire.
(note: this may not actually be true)

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 19 April 2003 11:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

oi josh, that was us! We were heading back from the Pavilion Place (saddest of all the Roseville malls) from seeing 'Adaptation'.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Saturday, 19 April 2003 15:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

phil-two, any idea if that's the same Chris Wu that used to hang out on #Sydney and #triple j on IRC (circa 1997)? If so, I think even I know him.

― Kim (Kim), Saturday, 19 April 2003 17:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

S*mon Reyn0lds on St. Marks Place.

― felicity (felicity), Saturday, 19 April 2003 23:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

One of the people in my English class has met Matos, thru another ILXor. She told me he yelled at her about the Beatles while drunk, or something to that effect. I thought that was the best random ILXor story ever.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 20 April 2003 01:41 (twenty years ago) link

clearly I must leave New York

― M Matos (M Matos), Sunday, 20 April 2003 07:42 (twenty years ago) link

i shall replace you

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 20 April 2003 08:06 (twenty years ago) link

*offers Matos a flat in leafy SW London (in September, anyway)

― Mark C (Mark C), Sunday, 20 April 2003 10:25 (twenty years ago) link

chris motherfucking wu?! i know him too. and so does electric sound of jim. and everybody on the planet!

― minna (minna), Sunday, 20 April 2003 11:15 (twenty years ago) link

yeah! it seems like everyone and their momma knows [...and loves] chris. i met him via sinister, and he stayed at my place in new york for three weeks, so when i was in sydney, he let me stay at his parents'. was great. his popfrenzy night seems to be going really well. sleepy jackson [or is it sleepy township?] just played, and they have ARE Weapons coming up... which is pretty big, i guess.

i even know this australian girl [miyuki/MJ] from my university in new york who knew chris back from sydney. its strange.

― phil-two (phil-two), Sunday, 20 April 2003 11:53 (twenty years ago) link

Matos v. Chr1s Wu ubiquity FITE!

― felicity (felicity), Sunday, 20 April 2003 14:29 (twenty years ago) link

No one ever sees me anywhere. Maybe I'm invisible!

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 20 April 2003 14:46 (twenty years ago) link

Me neither, Jody. We can be invisible together.

― rosemary (rosemary), Sunday, 20 April 2003 16:03 (twenty years ago) link

There's something incredibly weird and sinister about the way gareth said he was going to replace Matos.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 20 April 2003 17:55 (twenty years ago) link

With the exception of bumping into Pete, Emma and Alan in King's Cross once, I don't think I've ever just randomly come across an ILXer in London, which is amazing when you consider the place is full of the buggers.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Sunday, 20 April 2003 18:06 (twenty years ago) link

See above - perhaps they're hiding from you too, Matt.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 20 April 2003 18:27 (twenty years ago) link

I saw this girl out last night who must be di's Australian double. she was wearing a T Rex t-shirt and everything

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Sunday, 20 April 2003 23:51 (twenty years ago) link

hstencil at kim's. who then witnessed the ~~shame~~ joy of me buying the my so-called life dvd box set.

― Mary (Mary), Monday, 21 April 2003 02:00 (twenty years ago) link

No shame in your game, girl. I just ended up getting that Can CD, nothin' else. Did buy a copy of Cities of the Red Night on the street by NYU, tho.

― hstencil, Monday, 21 April 2003 04:08 (twenty years ago) link

Hooray! Finally I can contribute to this thread!

I saw Anna on the street outside Handsome SoundArtist's flat! I almost didn't recognise her with her cute new haircut, but I recognised her musical note bag!

― kate, Thursday, 24 April 2003 07:19 (twenty years ago) link

Me neither, Jody. We can be invisible together.

Lies, Rosemary! I saw you once at Other Music - we were both standing in front of the Belle & Sebastian "I'm Waking Up to Us" EP and talking about The Happy Hooker because you were on your way to Fez to see a reading.., and you were wearing fishnet stockings.

― phil-two (phil-two), Thursday, 24 April 2003 08:03 (twenty years ago) link

What was Anna doing outside HSA's flat?!? Are you suspicious?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 24 April 2003 19:08 (twenty years ago) link

I haven't seen them, but apparently I have been working a block away from Martin, Pete, and Julio for the last two months.

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 08:35 (twenty years ago) link

Before that, I worked just up the road for two years - the number of times I probably passed one of them on the street...

― Nordicskillz (Nordicskillz), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 08:36 (twenty years ago) link

Martin, don't cause trouble.

― 龜, Sunday, May 18, 2014

Has there been a facial hair poll yet?

― Iago Galdston, Monday, 19 May 2014 00:34 (nine years ago) link

Riffle through several WDYLL threads and the idea of ilxors having beards will seem as natural as their having personality disorders.

― king of chin-stroking banality (Aimless), Monday, 19 May 2014 04:59 (nine years ago) link

the idea of an ilxor being at a craft beard show stretches the credibility of 'random' in thread title tbh

Alex in NYC, wearing blue suede shoes

― The Pickety Third Policeman (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 17 May 2017 12:08 (six years ago) link

A couple of months ago I was at the pub to meet edwardo for music trivia, but he texted to say he was ill and wouldn't make it. However! old-time ilx0r colin s. barrow was having a few with his good lady wife before leaving for dinner, and they stuck around to play the first half.

― Doubtless they are toss. (sic), Wednesday, 17 May 2017 14:58 (six years ago) link

(this was just two weeks after I'd seen colin at all for the first time in almost five years, supporting S3vered H3ads at the next pub down the road)

― Doubtless they are toss. (sic), Wednesday, 17 May 2017 15:01 (six years ago) link

Despite appearances, they are not suede. They are blue, however.

I hope you were able to pool your medical expertise and help those poor people on the screen with their chronic laryngitis.

Pretty sure I sat near Tom E on a train last night but I don’t know him only recognized from either here or on FB so I didn’t say hello. Also, I might be wrong.
