I thought this was going to be a huge pain in the ass because I generally don’t eat out or buy things, but I went to Blue Baker just prior to game wars, and look who I found:
Basically, then, we did things that people who don’t actually know each other that well but haven’t met in a while do. He asked me why I was there, I asked him why he wasn’t going to game wars, and other things – the typical friendly chat.
It might have helped that it was nowhere near their busiest time of the day (it was 5:00). Either way, he was nice, I was nice, it was nice.
I guess this doesn’t carry as much weight as it would ordinarily; I went at a slow time of the day, went to a nicer place, and met someone I knew. His attitude, though, wasn’t limited to me; he was definitely treating other customers with the same enthusiasm.
In the end, he was nice enough to make me waste enough time enjoying my sandwich that I had a stressful rest of the day when I had to make an unplanned stop at Walmart to buy things for game wars, leading to me showing up kind of late and having to run around setting things up.

Anyways, I thought your post was kinda cool because I usually hate meeting people that I sort of know in public situations, then having to go through a bunch of small talk because I haven’t seen them in awhile. Seems like you handled it pretty well. I’m glad Patrick’s out there making people sandwiches at Blue Baker instead of directing cultish behavior.
