So I like to read the missed connections on Craigslist sometimes. I think we all do. Maybe part of me hopes that someone will have been so smitten as to miss a connection with me, or maybe I just find them entertaining. Anyway, I was reading through them this morning when I came across this one:
girl with guitar onstage - 5/25 - m4w - 28

You = girl with fancy haircut (brown hair, shoulder length) and guitar onstage. Me = balcony, seat F54, 6'0", short brown hair, glasses. Could have sworn you made eye contact when you sang something about "feel(ing) it all." Am I crazy, or did we have a moment? Didn't catch your name, but if you're not a lesbian.....coffee?
THIS IS A MISSED CONNCTION FOR FEIST! Hahah. It must have been conceived while she was singing track #2 off her new record, "I Feel It All". Its sort of charming and sort of heartbreaking that someone ACTUALLY thought they had a moment with her from the balcony (through the blinding lights from the stage) AND ACTUALLY thought she would check the missed connections, remember the gentleman in seat F54, and contact him for coffee followed by a beautiful romance, since, she is not, in fact, a lesbian.
Dear Mr.SeatF54, you made my day.

Great post. That's so sweet and yet abjectly hopeless. The heart weeps for this man who obviously has some unresolved feelings for Feist. What red-blooded, straight Canadian male doesn't? He probably figured that Craigslist would be a safe outlet for these impossible emotions. Little did he know that belugablog was just waiting to immortalize his heroically futile CL advert.
On the other hand, this could just be some CL prankster having some fun with the manner in which so many of us young toughs are besotted by Feist's many charms. Who can tell?
