It's that time of the year: when Mormons on flights bound for Utah hope to run into celebrities on their way to Park City. Or sometimes it's the other way around.

Zach Braff tagged Mitt Romney in a tweet about heading back to Sundance today, and in a bit of apparent Twitter magic, he later spotted the former presidential candidate at JFK airport. He thought the odds of being on the same flight as Romney were pretty good. It turns out he was right, and that Romney is up on his pop culture references (not that we're surprised):

I'm guessing it's as random as it looks, because any alternatives that I could think (a guerrilla marketing trade for Wish I Was Here and Mitt) would just be too weird for words.
