Rena and her boyfriend Aubrey were driving me back to their apartment where Craig and I are staying temporarily. Rena was telling us about a movie she saw last night called "Walking To Werner" about a guy who walks from Seattle to L.A. to meet Werner Herzog. "Sounds interesting," I said. And then Rena, pulling to a stoplight, looked out the window and said, "There he is."
"What?"
"That's him."
And the guy on the corner holding a video camera was the guy whose movie she was just talking about. She rolled down her window and told him she just saw his movie; he said, "Awesome" and then asked if we could drive him to the Post Office. We said, "Sure." He's working on a documentary about homeless people and he was looking for one particular guy who hangs out around there. Only when we got there the area looked really sketchy and he didn't think it'd be smart to get out there alone at this time of night. So we drove him to a bus stop and proceeded on our way home. I just watched the preview for his movie online (you can find it by Googling it) and it looks pretty cool. All in all, it was a strange and surreal Seattle evening.
