On Sunday, I went down to Philadelphia, PA, with my friends Jerry and Misha to catch the Men’s Lacrosse Finals for NCAA Divisions II and III, and have a cool meal while we were in town. No, we didn’t go to Pat’s or anywhere that served up traditional Philly steak sandwiches, that’s too easy. We went to Jack’s Firehouse, which is right across the street from historic Eastern State Penitentiary. So we had some fun, caught some sun, saw sticks and gloves and helmets thrown around and participated with the cheering crowds, and rolled on home back up the NJ Turnpike that evening.
That all sounds simple and easy, right? Well, it was. But what was crazy was when I was checking out the photos on Flickr, and hopped on over to some of my contacts’ photos, and saw that Scott McNulty, who also blogs for Weblogs, Inc., was in just the right area of Philadelphia, at exactly the same time I was. He blogged about it here, and I have pretty much the same sentiments. Kind of crazy, if you think about it. The car in question in this photo isn’t mine, it’s actually Jerry’s, but close enough. Kind of random, huh?
I mean, I can see how two random Flickr users happen to post pictures of being at the same spot on the same day, but two people who actually know each other? To make it worse, one of the interns at my employer was actually there at the event on Sunday, and was actually sitting in the same section of the stadium that I was, and it was general admission.
