It's been a long time since I have seen Andrew Johnson.
We lived on opposite coasts, friendly primarily at film fests. There were years in which we chatted regularly on the phone or e-mailed a lot, often suggesting quality NY-based articles we could link to. But that kinda petered out, especially after he left Time Out New York for US Weekly.
But he was a smart guy. And he was one of those people who I was always genuinely happy to run into. He was often deep in thought, with a frown... but he always found a smile and a god thought.
And now, he is gone at 40. Cancer. Very, very sad.
He will be missed.
