Fate and Coincidence

My band has been in a rough spot for a while now - our cheap and modest playing setup was pretty much cut off by the music department of Helsinki University due to lack of funds. We were left on pretty much nothing, barring electrical drums, guitars, bass and my mic.

Two weeks ago, my friend, our lead guitarist, met a dude in our regular bar who just happened to be the son of the owner of a large Finnish record company, able to give us a place to play and record.

Yesterday, our bassist met with a random chick who happens to also know the dude from earlier, further solidifying our possibility to do what we want and need, free of charge.

Not more than twenty minutes ago, I started chatting with some random Harmonica-playing dude on the Night Bus home, getting pretty deep into discussion about music and other topics, him playing bass on the regular, and thought to ask for his number so he could get together and jam with us if we could.

He texted me back, and I was in awe - his number was the same as my cousin's old number! A number which she had abandoned last year due to going Au Pair in France...

I'm quite drunk right now, but this is just too weird and good to be true right now - I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

I don't believe in fate, but I believe in coincidence, and fuck me if these events aren't starting to pile up in our favour!
