I was inspired to start posting because I had a random encounter with a fan while riding my bike.
I was wearing the WFMU bag I got as a gift from my pledge and waiting at a stoplight. The guy on the bike that pulled up behind me asked if I listened to WFMU. The first time he said it was kind of mush-mouthed, not very unlike the laser-maker/former bass-player from Tremarche. It was also a little hard to hear and came from an unexpected source.
We connected on the second try. His dad, the guy said, was a huge fan (the guy looked to be in his twenties). Was his dad from New Jersey? Nope, no idea how he came upon it.
Our routes only converged for a couple of blocks, but before I had to turn the guy did mention that Jon Wurster was a "genius" who took the show to the "next level." (He might not have actually said "genius" but the sentiment was clearly there if the word was not.)
It was a nice interaction, for which I have to thank The Best Show. Thank you, Best Show.
