E3 2012, like so many other conventions, is a place where people go to meet other people and sometimes, this can lead to a few "missed connections".
Craigslist has long had a section for missed connections for people who met each other at an event—a place, or anything—who want to get back together, and E3 this year is no exception.
Among the short, but sweet "you were in line with me to play that game and we talked about stuff" messages, someone appears to have posted a rather lengthy (four paragraphs!) Missed Connection on Craigslist with a certain "brand ambassador" (booth babe) named Jane who worked at the Ubisoft booth.
It goes from mildly awkward to creepy the moment he compliments Jane for her "tan little body". Read it and weep.
I was standing in line to try ZombiU Tuesday afternoon when you asked me if I wanted to zombify myself. I happily obliged, and you laughed heartily as I made zombie noises and faces. I almost made it to the front of the line when I had to get going. You seemed genuinely upset that I wasn't able to play, but I told you I'd be back tomorrow.
Sure enough, I returned bright and early on Wednesday (wearing the same blue backpack and the same style of black shirt with the logo of the website I write for, but not the same exact shirt), and you looked pleased that I returned, your eyes positively sparkling. We made a little small talk as I made my way up the line and into the demo area. After I reemerged, I asked you if I could get a picture of you. You said yes and after I snapped the photo I asked you your name (Really should have done that on day one.) and you replied "Jane." We shook hands, wished each other well and I was on my way.
Now I realize you must get hit on ALL. THE. TIME in your line of work, and I realize you probably weren't any more or less friendly and accommodating toward me as any other attendee, but out of all the hundreds of beautiful women at the show, you're the only one who's truly stuck in my head, and I can't put my finger on any one reason. Maybe it's your dark, flowing hair, your ready smile, your toned, tan little body, the aforementioned sparkling eyes, your playful laugh, your personable demeanor or some combination of those things (or something that simply can't be quantified)…I don't know!
All I do know is that I enjoyed being around you, I enjoyed looking at you (and, I'll admit it, enjoyed not seeing a ring on your left hand), and would be honored if you deem me worthy of a chance to get know you better. Even if you never see this – and none of your fellow Ubisoft, uh, "brand ambassadors" see this and forward it to you – at least this will (hopefully) put my mind at ease. Thanks for reading.
