Earlier last month, I met John Scott (mentioned previously here) on the bus heading back to my apartment. He was waiting at the same stop as me and as he was getting on, I noticed the briefcase with his bright orange and black sticker on it. I knew it was Mr. Scott himself.
As I walked on the bus and passed him, he turns to me and says, "Oh hey, how you doin'?" I could not believe I just got hit on by John Scott. An honor, it was. For those of you who don't know, he was the mysterious tagger who put up all those orange and black stickers that say "Who is John Scott?" on them. He was later caught putting one up at the Metro and 7th station and was proclaimed to be the oldest person ever to be arrested for tagging by the Los Angeles Sheriff Department.
I could not pass up the opportunity to speak to him because I am such a dork:
Me: !! Hey I went to your website!
JS: Oh you did?
Me: Yeah! I saw your picture (trying to refer to his mugshot and failing).
JS: Oh yeah? Did you read the articles?
Me: Yeah they were great!
JS: Did you read that I was a world traveler?
Me: Yeah that's awesome!
JS: I been all over the world.
Me: Cool (omg, do I not have anything better to say than 'Cool'?)!
JS: Damn right, I been everywhere. I'm a world traveler.
At this point, I was pushed towards the back of the bus. I wanted to buy an autographed sticker (it's only a dollar!), but I was too far away. Man, I am such a fangirl.
