“Know” is a bit of a stretch. We’d met very briefly once before at an event, where they met at least a hundred other people, and we’re FB “friends” — which is to say we comment on each others’ cat pictures. I was happy they seemed to enjoy themselves as opposed to being weirded out by a fan showing up in their incredibly small, isolated town. There is no set of circumstances other than the one I was in that could possibly have resulted in someone making that trip without being a stalker.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
