Weird Realization
I was out for a few pints on Saturday night with a couple of guys I know through pipe bands. One of them I played with back in about '98, and we've just kinda kept in touch, while the other is a guy in the band I play wtih right now.
Now, on the surface, this doesn't seem particularly noteworthy... but, these are quite literally the only two people that I have ever competed on the field with that I see socially outside of piping venues.
Weird, huh?
For all the time spent in pipe bands, and all the time spent drinking both in conjunction with pipe bands and otherwise, there are honestly only two people that have ever been a part of both? I think that's just crazy.
And okay, you might argue that there are others that I met through piping that I see (or at least have seen) socially, too, but considering the amount of time and comraderie in a competing pipe band, wouldn't you think that there are more than two that I've competed with?
Just struck me as odd.
