fun connections

I've known for some time that the oboe player in the Fort Wayne Philharmonic is a neighbor of mine on the 10th floor of my apartment building. Tonight I made some new connections.  Some weeks ago we were having an elevator conversation and he mentioned that his girlfirend was moving to Fort Wayne and was interested in acting at First Pres Theater. This came up after I told him that I had a small part in a play this summer.  Tonight I was doing volunteer work at FPT selling concessions, etc, and the oboe player came to the play.  As we were talking he said that his girlfirend was one of the leads in the play - the young lady who opens the play - very funny.  After the play, he introduced me to her and, when I saw her close up, I realized that we had had some elevator conversations over the last few weeks but I didn't know they were a couple.  So now I know.  Also, this evening, another old friend, who I have acted with a couple of times, told me that he has just moved into my apartment building, but on the other side, with the view of the fireworks. He's also a friend of the Oboe player who decided that my friend's city side apartment will be the perfect place for parties.  Time will tell.  But it's fun to make new connections.
