Meet people, they did.
After reading on a blog that Clayman hoped to get his hands on two phones -- one for his dad, whose 50th birthday is Saturday, and another to donate to the Taproot Foundation -- Pauline Zalkin, a Taproot program and development associate, showed up to offer thanks and T-shirts. She also wondered how Clayman picked Taproot, since he wasn't in the group's national database of volunteers. Clayman said he admires the founder and thought that many people who would read about a guy in an iPhone line would likely be the kind Taproot seeks.
Taproot matches companies that deliver IT, marketing, and human resources with nonprofit organizations in need. Clayman also thought the charity gesture would make his worried philanthropic father feel a little better about a son spending a few nights on a New York City street. Clayman said he tried to soothe his mother by saying that he also might meet a nice Jewish girl, but he was a bit more reticent when asked whether that had, in fact, occurred.
It was clear, however, that Clayman and his companions did make new acquaintances and friendships as they sat it out, surrounded by concrete and glass near the Apple Store, the GM building, FAO Schwartz, the Plaza Hotel, and Central Park South.
Clayman said a man named Barry approached him at night, and they talked about several things, including the death of Barry's ex-girlfriend. Clayman said Barry walked off abruptly, but serenely, after getting a hug.
