hello. i am yet another of what appears to be a large influx of newbies on this mailing list who feels he has to introduce himself. this newbie is writing to you from the dark, humid hell known as florida. orlando, to be precise. not much goes on here, culturally speaking. bands tend to stay away from here, with good reason. usually, one has to drive for seven hours to atlanta (or athens) to see anything worthwile. i spent the summer driving to new york (twice!) and washington to see the likes of the magnetic fields, pulp, and radiohead. i am a sociology major at the university of central florida who retreats from all his harsh realities to the world of belle & sebastian whenever he can. it's nice to see that others like to do the same. i've written too much so i'll stop. but first, if there are any other members residing in florida, i would love to hear from you, especially if you are planning on going to the athens show. please e-mail me privately, at cp83985@pegasus.cc.ucf.edu. also, being a sociology major, i would love to know what you older list members think about the rapid rise in new members, especially since the release of the new album. if you would like to share your thoughts, again, e-mail me privately. now i have definitely written too much. bye. carl p.s. i promise never to use the word "newbie" again. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
