knowing people who know people

so we went to this new "hot" italian place tonight. and we got hooked up, big because the owner used to make inappropriate advances towards a friend (she, it turns out, was one of half a dozen female staff members at the restaurant at which they used to work together who didn't sleep with him).

it's nice to reap the rewards that i'd get from sleeping with someone (or, as it stands in this case, not sleeping with someone) without having to be the one batting the guy off.
