Not All Craigslist Adventures Are Magical

December 28th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Sequence of events on a Sunday morning in Los Angeles:

01:07 A.M: Someone advertises 12 rolls of expired Fuji Neopan ASA 1600 on Craigslist for $20
01:56 A.M: I reply to the ad with my phone number.
02:01 A.M: Poster replies: “i’ll be home tomorrow after 1pm. come on by - just give me a ring when you’re on your way.”

*** Intermission, sleep, I align my stars.***

12:53 P.M. Oakland beats Tampa Bay, clearing the way for a meaningful Eagles game at 1:15. I will miss the start because I’m about to go get some film. I check my email for the phone number. Because, I’m on my way!
12:55 P.M. Email from seller ” hi michael - someone just came by and bought all my film. i’m sorry! -sam”

Only one thing to say at that point:

WTSIT??!!!??!!

Play song: “Jerked Around” - The Farmers
