Somehow I keep getting peoples phone numbers but then I find it in my phone later and I just cant attach a face to the name.
This ever happen to you?
Im debating calling some of these people awkwardly to find out.

Yeah that's a side effect of drinking lots of alcohol at a bar. They probably don't remember you either.

happens to me all the time, i'll meet some chill people and exchange numbers, but never end up calling them, and don't even write their name down with the number, then years later i realize they were a hook or something, then call the number asking who this is and asking if they know me, only to find out that the original people have changed their number and that the new owner has had the number for years.

I have names with the numbers I just dont attach names to the faces...but yeah I should put notes next to them. For example I'll have multiple Sarahs or Drews and it gets confusing.

I used to be quite the barfly...i mean to the point where i was there every night.
I only really go to them for shows now.
I always meet people at various events though. For instance I went to a rave and an art gallery this weekend so Im not sure who I met where.

Business cards are getting out of control. It seems like everybody has them now and are trying to network all crazy. I can't even keep them all in my wallet I have to clear them out regularly.
