Helmut and I met not so long ago. It became very apparent very quickly that we loved spending time together and shared a knack for meeting interesting people and getting to know their stories.
On our third date, we went to
Ali Baba restaurant in El Cajon, CA. We spotted a group in the corner who seemed to be celebrating something. Then, one of them got up and walked past us and we engaged him in conversation. This was difficult to resist because he was wearing a garment I had only heard of but quite honestly didn't think they actually existed in real life, a
Utilikilt! (I had seen their website but thought it was a joke...kind of like the
Lap Giraffe site.)
This was early on in the relationship and so my recollection of the conversation is somewhat fuzzy, but this picture represents the very first time we used our super powers to attract the unusual characters that usually go unnoticed by most people.
There were so many things about Utilikilt guy that we loved. Helmut especially loved his mustache (he has a fascination with mustaches as you will soon realize), and I loved his t-shirt that says "It aint ALL bustle honey!"
We are so happy that we had the presence of mind to get a picture with him....because this is really where it all started!
