Wouldn't That Be Nice?

I won't give more details in case I am wrong or I cause problems but I am booked to see a theatre show soon. I found out too late that another favourite is appearing on the same night behind where I will be. I mentioned to said person I was sorry to be missing him and to return if/when possible. I received contact thanking me for letting him know. Now wouldn't it be a surprise if he decided to do a surprise guest appearance? If not, I guess he'll pop around and see some "Old" mates. Lets see where this goes...here's hoping.
