Still Just A Number

Stepped in the lift and bumped into my old colleague 610. He and I shared a desk for 12 months in 1999, in an office in Kingston. He seemed a tad surprised at bumping into me 10,000 miles away from home, but I always knew we'd run into each other again one day.


So, percussionist that he is, we went out to see these Japanese tau drummers performing in Aotea Square, as part of the funkily-named AK05 festival. Afterwards we returned to the hostel and sat in the canteen with nothing to do for over an hour. Ahhh, it was exactly like old times.
