Missed Connection: “R” Is For Romance

If you’re an R train-ridin’, accordion solo serenade-receivin’ believer that print is not yet dead, listen up, because a neighbor is trying to get your attention. Via a Craigslist post titled ”A happy conductor + Mariachi band”:

And now I know why people write Missed Connections posts!

You: A lovely young woman who was reading a magazine (Economist? New Yorker?). You got on the R at Atlantic(?) sat one seat away and we had a very loud, happy go-lucky sounding conductor. We had a short conversation, and then — Mariachi.

So what would have been awesome is if post-accordion solo, we’d kept talking and maybe took a walk or got a cup of coffee somewhere.

Me: Reading a graphic novel next to you, black jacket, jeans, glasses, shaved head – inviting you to meet up if you should happen to find this.

If you were feeling a vibe too, you can reach your fellow commuter on the love train here.
