I first "met", using the term very loosely, Camille at the Firehouse Saloon. I had gone to see Max Stalling play. I’d tried to coax my friend Kevin to come, but last I’d talked to him, he declined. I positioned myself at my usual spot and watched 1100 Springs, the opening act, start playing.
After 1100 Springs got off the stage and while Stallings was setting up to play, I saw Kevin and Callie, his girlfriend, in the corner of my eye. When I turned around, I saw Callie and a somewhat hefty-looking brunette jetting out. Kevin happened to see me and we talked for a bit about my ill-fated attempt to quit smoking for a bit before he had to go catch up with Callie and Camille, the person who had apparently just walked by.
And that was my first run-in with Camille.
To understand this story, you’ve got to know the prequel to it. It all goes back to the float trip. Technically, Alex and I met before that; I was meeting up with Kev and Callie at the Firehouse for a show, and I think Kev might have pointed him out to me. But that was strictly attaching a name to a face. The float trip was where things started.
