weird. got a friend request from that rapper/lyrical poet from the theor******, this funk/hip hop group i really like in seattle. i'd recently been hyping them on facebook. i had tried to fly back in time for their show last month (and had invited some of my basketball teammates), but i had to go to la for my shoulder check-up instead. but i'd pulled a couple of clips off youtube and put them on my facebook. he sent a message, "you came to my performance at the triple door, correct?"

i was surprised because i remember he had noticed me and we had smiled at each other, but i didn't go up and talk to him even though it was a small club because i'm not like that. call it shy, call it believing that conversation should happen naturally, call it not wanting to be another groupie, i don't know. but i did buy his group's cd, which i'd been enjoying in my cd player in seattle, and signed up for the mailing list.

i thought about it, and figured he probably sent a mass friend request to everyone who had signed up for the mailing list who had been at the show, or somehow tracked back the youtube clips and saw what i wrote about them on facebook. it was just another random add. but i sent him a message saying that their show at the triple door was the best show i'd seen in seattle and i was looking forward to the march show.

he wrote back asking how long i would be in seattle, and what i was doing in ca.

??

does he actually remember me? so random.
