Well, certain places play "big", and certain places play "small". I lived in the city of Philadelphia and ran into peopel ALL the time. I live in a semi-rural part of Connecticut, and live in the next town over from my cousin (in fact, I have to drive through that town to get to the highway I rail about all the time in the "left lane" threads) and we eat occassionally at the same restaurant, and yet I have not run into him even once in the four years I've been in this area. I would venture, though, that if you expand out to the wives and kids, the equation changes (not at all being sexist, only noting that neither Marlene nor Ms. Myung are, to my knowledge, in touring bands at this point).
