Saving a seat ::

I saw Meeting Messiaen at the SFMOMA tonight. I’d gotten there early and didn’t know how full it was going to end up being, so I left two empty seats between myself and a couple in the third or fourth row. I figured either the seats would end up empty or a couple of latecomers would appreciate being able to get such good seats. The hall got pretty full. A few minutes later a friend of the people behind me arrived late and they saved the seat next to me for her. When she took her seat, it took me a few moments to realize that I had met her last month at an event in Santa Cruz.
