I was walking though the Healdsburg town square today. I have been sick and I haven’t been out of my house for a bit and I decided to walk downtown to get my groceries. Anyway, I was walking through the plaza and I saw a guy wearing a Bedouin Soundclash t-shirt. I looked directly at him and just asked: Hey–Are you Canadian?

He looked a bit confused but soon realized that his shirt might indicate that he was. But–he wasn’t. He’d just been to a concert in San Francisco on Feb 19th. He was excited that somebody in Healdsburg knew who they were. We talked for about five minutes and he gave them a great review so now I’m going to look up their next concert and see if I can go.

I walked the rest of the way home and couldn’t wait to get back to my computer. I’d discovered Bedouin Soundclash last September. I usually stream them from their myspace, but today–today I’m just going to buy them. And play them on my new iPOD soundsystem.

Happy Birthday to me.
