Sinister: list abuse: HELP!
by jeanette eastwood 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

I know this is list abuse of the worst kind, but I'm feeling a bit desperate. I'm in Portland. I don't have a clue how I'm going to get to Vancouver now, if the gig goes on, as I've been told the buses and Amtrak are going to be overflowing. Will some kind soul out there who's planning to head north *please* consider giving me a lift? I'd more than gladly pitch in for fuel and such. I've traveled from Texas for this ... I'd really hate to miss it! Mucho gracias and stuff.

When my alarm woke me up this morning with the words, "A plane has crashed into the pentagon...", I was stunned for a moment, but somehow I managed to convince myself that I had mis-heard, or that it wasn't as bad as it sounded. I poured myself some cereal and went into the living room, where both my parents were glued to the T.V. There was the World Trade Center, smoking and in ruins. School was awful today. Everyone was talking about what happened and there were horrible rumors flying around. One said that there was a plane crash around San Francisco, which really got me, since I have family in Vallejo. I thanked my lucky stars that I live in Sacramento and that my aunt, who works in New York, is okay. I'm really sorry for anyone who lost someone in this disaster, and for all the people killed or injured. I wish I knew what is going to happen tomorrow, or even a week from now. This all seems too terrible to be real. What has happened is why I dislike war (and terrorism). Innocent people get hurt.

Sinister: and the world turned...

fuck - i really don't know what to say. channel surfing but mostly settling on a mix of bbc news 24 & radio 5 and i really really can't comprehend what i have seen and heard. my heart and thoughts go out to those at the wtc and the pentagon. i would normally be pleased to see capitalism wounded, but christ, this isn't real - people are dead. please god, whoever or whatever you may be, let those who caused this be brought to some kind of justice, but please no more innocent deaths - the world is a sad enough place. i'm glad that u.s. sinisterines seem to be ok... i'm not really able to think or communicate very coherently - i'm sorry. i've gotta go - i need to cry... take care all love jonny xx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: helpless sorrow
by Sam Walton 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

I'm in shock. Among other things. I have more emotions rushing through my head than at any other time I can remember - hate, pity, intense sorrow, anger, impotence, fear, ignorance, revulsion, disturbance, more and more. I was in Camden when the news broke. There was a tramp staggering about shouting "THE END IS NIGH! THE PENTAGON'S BEEN DONE". And he might be right. We don't know. What I do know is that suddenly everything seems inappropriate. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is on telly. The news image of people waving from the upper stories of the building is the most harrowing if you ask me. I am safe in assuming that there will be quite a few people on Sinister with Godspeed You Black Emperor's EP, Slow Riot For A New Zero Kanada. The second track on that record is horribly poignant. I'll echo the thoughts of the Duke: I'm not religious in the least, but my most heart-felt "prayers" go out to everybody in NYC, Washington DC and Pensylvania. Good to hear that most of you are okay. But could Mr Eric The Half A Bee please show his face? love, S.x ================= "Shut up!

Sinister: Together.
by Astrid Wiezell 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

Even though I am just a 15-year old swedish girl, I feel with all of you. The telly have been having a specialevening, with just clips and guests. All the musicchannels have taken back their shows or stuff like that to show their respect. In this time - when I allow myself to say that I think that all of us have been thinking about WW3 and stuff like that - It´s good to have sinister. Just people at all. But just knowing that all of you out there, from all over the world, are together. I´ve talked loads on the phone tonight with my friends, but still, i don´t think i´ve really gotten it. I was at the youth club when one of the leaders, Richard, who always have to joke, shouted "Pentagon-on fire-terrorists-WTC!" I just thought "Oh lovely, he´s acually gone mental" but then we all went to the telly room, and saw. One of the other leaders, and also my friend, Robin said: "I think I have to go out of this room, instantly. Or else I will cry". I´ve cried tonight, very much, but It´s just when i cry that I actually realise. Elsehow, It´s just a sick and absurd dream that I am sure that I will wake up from any minute now. Just being together really helps. I promise. Prayig for you all Astrid xxx _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: The Year of Let it All Come Down
by mh843＠bard.edu 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

I am living about 90 miles outside of New York City. I was in my college cafeteria this morning, getting my cottage cheese and apple sauce, when I heard the radio talking about the World Trade Center. I thought, "Maybe it is the anniversary of the World Trade Center bombing, an they are replaying the coverage." So I went to class, and people started to filter in with more and more news of what was happening. Many of my classmates are from Manhattan. People were running out of class crying everytime we heard about the next terrible thing that had happened. They tried to call their families to make sure they are okay, but all the phone circuits were busy. The moms and dads work in the world trade center, and they had no way of knowing that they were okay. My philosophy teacher began exploring the light and dark possiblities for heroic acts. He drew the line at rationalizing the terrorists sacrifice as heroic. And I was sitting in class, wondering if I could draw the same line. I felt numb, unhuman, sociopathic. I am so afraid that I am not so far away from those terrorists. I wonder if the emotion they were feeling when they flew the plane into the Trade Center is like the emotion I have experienced while in love. They must have been so in love with their cause. How many times have I been blinded by love? Since that philosophy class, I have spent all day realizing that as much as any person may be able to empathise with the perpetrators of such acts, there is no excuse for sympathy. I do not feel sympathy. We had a school wide meeting at 3:00 on the rugby field. It was a beautiful day, the butterflies were dancing on the grass. It was too much. My best friend, Bunny, watched the planes crash from her 12th floor brooklyn apartment, as she ate her cereal at 8:30 this morning. I talked to my Architecture professor, she listened and really helped. but the only thing that really worked was when she started talking about the Mies exhibit at MOMA. I am convinced that art is the solution to every emotional delima. It always makes me feel better. Plato says that art is the furthest seperation from reality. As a philosopher, he sees this as a bad thing, but I think its great. I wrote a letter last night naming this year, "The Year of Let it All Come Down," after the Spiritualized album coming out in a couple weeks. I really only meant it to honor Jason Spaceman for quiting drugs and turning his life around. But, now it has taken on a much heavier, unfortunately appropriate meaning. Now no matter if I like it or not, it has become the year of Let it All Come Down. I wish I could take it back.

Sinister: what a grande bang-off way to start school
by Histrianic＠aol.com 11 Sep '01

Everything has been delayed, including my school starting. I am stuck on Long Island, because all the trains are down. I've been watching the tv all day, literally, from the moment i got until now. It's horrendous, isn't it? my prayers for well-being to everyone, and wishes of psychological comfort as well.. (although that's not too possible at the moment) love, hye min +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Words fail
by Rinaldo Thatchez 11 Sep '01

11 Sep '01

It's just too fucking heavy. The weird thing is that I'm not normalizing. I'm not recovering. The shock just keeps running deeper. The stunned feeling grows more pervasive. I can't even say I feel anything in particular, just shaken. I didn't actually start to write to share any of this. What originally made me think to post was Red Geisha's post about donating blood. From what I hear, lines are running out the door at most blood centers. Give someone a call and see if they can even take you today but if you don't go today or this week still go. Blood supplies will be depleted for months after this. I don't know what else we can do. I fear the aftermath more than anything. There will be some serious scapegoating. Rest assured, the U.S. is gonna bomb the shit out of somebody real soon and they'll call it healing. It probably won't even be the right people. The racist propaganda is already starting; the news is showing footage of Palestinians celebrating on the West Bank. How does that help? -Rinaldo _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
