Reverse Paparazzi?
So...the other day I was working at the airport and an interesting thing happened. It was a fairly slow day since it was raining but we ended up having a plane fly in. When the passengers came up to the office, one of the guys looked at me and exclaimed, "Where did you get that t-shirt?!". I was wearing one of my Tannahill Weavers shirts and I told him that I got it at a concert of theirs. For those unfamiliar with the Tannahill Weavers, they are a popular traditional band in Scotland. (Check out their website at www.tannahillweavers.com) They also happen to be one of my favorite groups. Anyway, apparently this guy is a good friend of the flute player and even stays at his house when he travels to Scotland! He ended up taking a picture of me so he could send it to his Tannahill Weaver friend, saying he found someone wearing one of their t-shirts at a small Iowa airport. So I guess I'm wondering if this was a form of reverse paparazzi--taking pictures of the common folk to send to a celebrity. Whatever it was, it was hilarious. I really haven't met anyone that knows who the Tannahill Weavers are and then I run into someone who is good friends with them. What are the odds?
