This is what I wrote before/after meeting him. I was tired and still leaking crazy from the night before.
Riding on the bus considering relativity. I am watching the passing scenery change from one building to another like so many steps in a pointless stairway. This drives my thoughts as I sit on the bus for hours at a time. I rarely read on the bus anymore as it has become difficult. My scenery changes to the forehead of Quentin Tarentino so I immediately pull the stop cord and the bus drops me off about a half a block away from where he stood. I could be late for work but I would not miss this opportunity. He is standing on the same sidewalk I myself had stood in the past. He looks comfortable enough. His clothes are comfortable but dorky looking which is no surprise. He looks tired as hell and I wonder if he too went to the DJ Shadow concert last night? I only say "Hey how are you doing" to which he replied "Allll right" and I ask him if he plans to make movies for a while longer. He says "Sure, I plan on making movies for the rest of my fuckin life man" I then tell him that it was nice to meet him and I will see him in the future when we work together. He laughed pretty loudly but I didnt feel like he was mocking me in any way. He just seemed surprised at my seriousness. I wasn't and won't be surprised when I am working with him later. I went to work happy and was almost late by one minute.
