Big news: i FINALLY saw someone wearing a Belle & Sebastian tee-shirt today!! My Vespa club was on our monday ride, and coming down state street, there was this bald guy, and my eyes clicked upon his blue shirt with a big red "&" on the front. I slowed down, pointed to the badge on my backpack strap, and yelled "BELLE AND SEBASTIAN!!!" at him. Well, what would YOU have yelled? He just smiled, but didn't seem to realize the odd synchronicity. Maybe he's from LA or something. But there's NO b&s fans in Santa Barbara, so it was quite a moment for me. Speaking of LA, what ever became of the blossoming meetup there? Jennifer Juniper first suggested it, and i emailed her some ideas, and i never heard another word. Maybe we could meet at Griffith Park Observatory, or Hollywood Forever Cemetery (at the grave of Rudolph Valentino)? We should time it to coincide with the release of the new single, and swear to each-other not to listen to it until our picnic, when we could have a listening ceremony. And do you mean to tell me, Timothy, that you went to K-Town without looking up (the dress of) our lovely List Dom Lisa? I'm sure she's already scolded you for that. She doesn't like to let young Sinister boys slip through the cracks. Oh wait, yes she does. And i brought my digital camera to my local bar last weekend. If you're bored, take a look. And if you're not bored, well, you will be: www.brier2.homestead.com/Elsies1.html And if you haven't listened to Death Cab For Cutie, please do so with all speed. These days i remain, Brier +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
