Small World - Where Exactly is Boothville?

I think we all have those "small world" moments. And, tonight, I was reminded just how small (and connected) the world really is. I was having a glass of wine, fighting off a Tuesday night funk when I heard Patti Rayne introduced at LA Women's Fest on TV. The announcer said she was from "south of New Orleans". I bet none of you thought you could get any further south than New Orleans. Surprise, you can.Having grown up in Louisiana and having taught school at the furthest point south of New Orleans you can get (Boothville-Venice HS), I was curious. I "googled" (no, I'm not on the Cuil train as of yet) her and checked out her website which did not give me any good information. So, I did the next best thing and found her myspace page. A quick email later and I get a response. Yes, you guessed it. She had lived in Boothville (population 2,200)! Seriously, you can't get any "smaller world" than that NOR can you get any more connected than that. I bet it wasn't 15 minutes from the time I sent the myspace message (and friend request) that I had a response. We hear the "six degrees of separation" theory, but maybe its really the "six seconds of separation" theory! You just never know what experience you will have on a Tuesday night! Check out her music on myspace.com/pattirayne!What "small world" experience have you had lately?
