for the subject line
"Dude, 'sup?"
"Nigerian Penile Enhancement Very Good Penis"
"Remember me? I have photos!"
Okay, pardon my drug-addled brain, but seriously, I wouldn't say the word networking anywhere; then people know you're just using them to get a job. (Maybe everyone doesn't have the knee-jerk negative reaction to the word that I do, though.) Is there some personal thing that you can refer to that he'll remember you by? How long has it been since you talked to him? If not too long, try something friendly like, "Want to do lunch at [Place] again?"
"Dude, 'sup?"
This appeals to my overly developed sense of the absurd.
Of course, I am extremely tired at the moment, but I think even if I were fully rested, it would still appeal to my overly developed sense of the absurd.
I always say something like "Touching Base"
Vortex, are you thinking of taking the person to coffee/ lunch? Sometimes, I've specified that.
They rearranged our mailboxes in the mailroom at work, since some people left and we got some new people, and the boxes are supposed to be in alphabetical order. Mine got shifted to the top row of boxes, where I can't reach it. I had to go to the office and ask for it to be moved. This ended up being rather less embarrassing than I'd expected it to be, but still. And they're moving my box to the end of the cubby thing, so it'll be out of alphabetical order and all my students will complain that they can't find it.
Gah! I hate subject lines. I know that some people just skim over the ones that they don't think are important, so I almost think that it's better to not have one at all.

Eh, I'd rather see almost any subject line than not have one. If I see a blank subject line, I assume it's probably spam.
Yay for successful navigation of the airport!
As long as we're all commented on Vortex's note, I'll add that I wouldn't start with being laid off. I'd start with something like "Can we find a time to meet for lunch or coffee? I'd like to pick your brains about career opportunities in legal education. I'm buying."
