A fellow student in my program, and he’s also a musician. He invited me to a jam session in town, a regular one I already knew about and have been meaning to check out anyway. I guess now I will!

The hilarious crazy thing is that he reached out to me in part because he ran into my little SISTER at an academic conference several states away (he’s involved in both my field [library science] and hers [ethnomusicology]) and ‘recognized’ her (we look a lot alike, or so we’ve been told). What a ridiculously small world is academia.

Anyhoo…serendipity is a gas, and I think I will take him up on his invite eventually. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
