hi kids i suppose it's a little late to be reviewing the belfast gig, so i'll just add my shout outs to all the members of the sinister massive who were there (though a slightly muted shout to the pervy priest (Aka dirty vicar) for his disparaging title about the kids on the bus) actually, i think those of us who travelled on the bus deserve some kind of prize....someone mentioned their hope that we introduce the presumably bemused bus driver to the joys of b and s. well, seamus and louise came prepared with tapes, and so impressed was the bus driver that he drove the last 100 miles home with the window down (sub zero temperatures bedamned) and once the tape had ended, decided on a musical/cultural exchange by bombarding us with the joyful 106.8 fm, dublin's ONLY country music radio station...who'da thunk it? personal faves included the delightful rockabilly version of away in a ma-a-a-nger, and the song whose title i missed, but whose chorus told of the boy who drove his car to the county fair, got bar-beee-kew sauce on his shirt, and a girl who was killing him with her mini skirt. ah, much as i try to describe the joys, only those of us who experienced it will share that special bond... so on to other things....actually, one thing i would like to mention about the belfast gig is that some of the crowd really could have gotten into the spirit of things a little more....some wag beside me on the balcony provided endless entertainment to his mates by (loudly) calling isobel a dickhead every time she opened her mouth to sing....a pity, i hope she didn't mind too much. otherwise, it really was a fab gig in every way, someone reviewing glasgow mentioned it was great to see them all enjoy themselves, which i thought in belfast too - a lovely change from the guitar smashing antics of dublin in times past and so, it's off to bed and dreams of a year when i can smugly say i managed at least 24 hours before breaking all my resolutions (i write this surrounded by chocs, ciggies and nary a heterosexual man in sight) happy new year kids trish delish ps actually, writing that last bit, i've had a bit of a belated epiphany - could the chocs and ciggies be responsible for the last bit? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! pps i promise that as of now, i will never ever mention the word bus in a sinister post again...it really can't be that interesting to those, ohhh 1387 of you, who weren't on it...nitenite! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
