QotD: The Day I Met My BFF(s)
How did you meet your best friend(s)?
I met two of my best friends, Nyla and Laurie, through a posting on JeffBuckley.com in 1998 (or 99?) that asked people to write in if Jeff had inspired them to create something. I wrote in about a tribute I held for Jeff in Austin, TX, in September 1997, and the people who had written the post (two filmmakers working on a documentary) said they wanted to meet me.
I went to NYC and met these mysterious filmmakers at a diner on Van Dam street. They were Nyla and Laurie, two women about my age and we instantly sparked. Eight years later (including cross country travels and moves, match-making, endless hours of talking, one marriage, one award-winning documentary, and lots more stuff), they are two of the closest friends I've ever had.
I'm sure glad I sent that email!
