Latif Bolat in Boulder this Saturday

Isn't this just the way of things? You make plans for Saturday night, and then some other completely cool thing shows up in your inbox. I really need to work on my cloning machine.

Anyway, if you love middle eastern music (or even if you just like it) go see this show. He is fabulous. Take my word for it. Near to a religious experience to hear him play.
