A similar situation is how i found out about this site. i had never seen another VX in real life before and as i was leaving a parking lot another one pulled in. He told me about the site and i was hooked.
Then i lost touch with him and moved to a new city. A couple months after i moved i went to a local bar and there was the other VX!! the same guy from the old town i lived in. turns out we both moved, and now live merely miles from eachother again! it's crazy, but i really do think VXs migrate in flocks whether knowingly or not.
