WHASSUP JIM?
Here we were at Hansanity, minding our own business, when out of the blue I get a text from a random phone number.
Random Text: Hey Carissa - how was the rest of ur week
Of course, I shared it with the rest of the room. We were unsure of how to respond, when another one quickly came.
Random: Are you and about tonight ? Jim
Alright, so it's clearly some guy named Jim who is pursuing some girl named Carissa. Do we let him know he has a wrong number? OF COURSE NOT! We play along!
Us: might be going out later u?
Our impression of a girl responding to a dude's text.
Random: At a charity function at dresslers in the metropolitan - should be heading out after it's over
We looked up dresslers. Fancy place.
Us: where are u goin?
It's pretty easy pretending to be a girl, must be even easier to actually be a girl, amirite?
Random: Heading to vavace for a late dinner- and a few drinks - are u making it out
Us: yea prob
Random: "prob?" what happened to the social butterfly carrier foley
Alright, this was a little confusing, at first. But then - THEN - Phelps figured out on his iPhone that "carrier" is an auto-correct that can come from a slight misspelling of Carissa. At this point we have figured out this girl's full name.
Us: haha yea i'm def going out
Over an hour goes by and there is nothing, and we get bored of him not responding so we come up with another text.
Us: where are u?
Random: heading uptown - where are u at
Earlier we had already figured out that A) his area code is Charlotte and B) dresslers at the metropolitan is a nice place in Charlotte. So given these clues, we knew he was in Charlotte. Who knows why this girl gave him a 607 number, but whatever. When he said he was heading uptown, Phelps googled "uptown Charlotte bars." We found the name of a place in the first result and rolled with it.
Us: we're heading to buckhead. what's ur plan?
I hope you're approving of our uses of "u" and "ur" during this text conversation. Clearly fooled him.
Random: Waiting for a cab at vivace
Ur going old school with Buckhead
I am prob just gonna catch a beer at press and head home
Those came as three separate texts. We were preparing to respond, but we (me, Phelps, Stokes) got distracted by ridic married woman Olivia (that is a whole different story). Will this gentleman continue pursuing "Carissa" the rest of this weekend? We'll find out later! It would be rather hilarious if this Jim ran into Carissa at some point in the future, given this conversation he thinks he has had with her but really, he was having with a bunch of dudes celebrating friendship at HANSANITY.
