Local Man Has Been Here This Whole Time

Breaking news: reports flooding in from the scene indicate that a local resident you only just noticed and greeted has been here "literally the entire time," and possibly even saw you walk in. The man, with whom you are intermittently acquainted, claims to sometimes see you at these sorts of things but doesn't always know whether he should interrupt your evening. Furthermore, he figures that you're usually too busy to say hi, which is fine, he understands. As of press time, a general inquiry as to how the man is doing has segued into a rambling anecdote about the respective merits of the three CSI programs.
