about six years ago, we were dancing in a basement of some dive bar in san francisco. some r & b song i hadn't heard before was playing. but it didn't matter, i wasn't really paying attention to it anyways. i had other things on my mind.

i whispered something into her ear and she started giggling. 'did you just ask me to be your girlfriend?'

flash forward to the raphael saadiq show the other night. we're dancing with each other again and she whispers 'this is the song that was playing when you asked me to be your girlfriend.'

hehe. thanks for always 'being here' baby. and thanks to raphael for providing the soundtrack to a very special moment in our lives. and for the kickass, high energy show at the fox.
