We danced next to each other at the Streetlight Manifesto concert at Brooklyn Steel, and it felt special to be in your warm presence. You had headphones around your neck and a patterned fleece (Patagonia, maybe?). You kept diving into the mosh pit but always ended up back by me.

We shared part of a joint, and I found your dance moves and how you knew every lyric to be so cute. You have such a sparkly soul—it really stood out in the crowd.

We were both alone and we introduced ourselves at the end of the show, but you disappeared before I could say more. If this resonates with you, or someone who knows Ben, please reach out. I’d love to reconnect!
