    Here is a spotting that occurred as I was coming out of Taco Bell on February 26 from a late night snack. It's my roommate Nik's favorite fast food restaurant. This was one of the cooler spottings...
    Hey Matt,

    I am writing to you to report an *official* car sighting.

    Last night, I went to Joe's Brewery to hang out for a little while with some friends. (I work there as the Friday night DJ, and also designed their website - www.joesbrewery.com). Once 1am came around, the bar closed down. My buddy Jim and I were frantically looking for some place to serve us a late night snack, so we decided to hit up the local Taco Bell establishment. After waiting in line for more than 20 minutes (Why do they call it fast food again?), I looked over and saw a Saturn with a huge, crazy ass sticker in the back window. I realized that this was *the* Matt Wright that I had read so much about.

    [... snip ...]

    Back to the story - so when you came out of Taco Bell, I yelled "Are you really Matt Wright?" and you replied "Well yeah, how could you tell??" A smart ass answer indeed, but it was funny. :) I told you how I was a fan of yours, and you thanked me and told me to email you. When you got in the car, I noticed that Jeff Dillon was with you. He used to live across the hall from me in the dorms, and he taught me how to juggle. Anyways, the thrill came and went - you obnoxiously honked your horn and took off like Speed Racer on crack.

    I guess there's really not too much more of a point this email. You asked for it, and now you've got a new entry to throw up on the "car sighting" page. :)

    Thanks for a good laugh and lots of useful scripts,

    - Erik, erik@eightonefive.com

    It turns out that Erik is living in the house that I'm renting with some friends for next year, so that's pretty cool (BTW, I've seen his room in the house, he's a crazy Britney Spears fan! :) ). He also designs cool web pages, so check out his company, Eight/One/Five.
