it's a small, small, small, small world

Today I went to a meeting with all the people that work at MAP magazine, the online magazine I'm designing stuff for, and I was talking to this one guy whose name is Leon, I guess he writes for them. He asked me where I was from and I said Texas, near Austin. And he talked about how he'd been to Austin a long time ago, and I was like "yeah that's cool." Then he told me he was from Mexico.

"Actually," he said, "I have some family that lives near Austin."

"Oh really? Where?" I asked

"In Wimberley."


I just about had a coronary. I couldn't believe it.

Here I am, 6000+ miles away from home, and I meet a guy who has relations in our humble little burg. He proceded to tell me the names of his family, to see if I knew them... but I didn't because they're Mexican :(
