Out of the blue

At the end of January or early February I went on my first real interview for a photojournalism job. Obviously I didn't get the job. I probably took it a little too personal especially when the guy didn't get back to me, I just never heard from him. Well last week I heard from him. He emailed me out of the blue saying he would be in town interviewing and asked if I would like to come down if I was still looking for a job. I said I was still looking and that I would come and interview, again. There was another guy there with him that I hadn't met before and who hadn't seen my work so that was fine. It felt a little more comfortable than the last time but I felt the last time went well and nothing came of it. But to me the oddest thing that has happened in both interviews and subsequent emails is that the guy has told me to get in touch with another organization for a possible job or internship. Keep in mind this place has not advertised for a job or internship and he has told me that he doesn't know anyone there, he just wants me to contact them cold. I don't have too much of a problem of contacting someone cold but for him to tell me this during BOTH interviews just perplexes me. Maybe by telling me to do that it makes him feel a little better not to select me. But really I have no clue, I should know by the end of the week if it works out with him or I should contact the other organization.
