since it's halloween and i had to work and now i'm home and bored and partyless cause i didn't have time to get to any......i'm gonna tell you about the athens show. i got into town and walked downtown with my friend bob so he could get some smokes. then we walked down to wuxtry records cause i was looking for the new jonathan richman (which i didn't find), i did however find a nice bootleg of the dylan/cash sessions. and we met some members of the band in a store. bob got some autographs, i just talked to mick. funny thing...they wouldn't all sign the same piece of paper bob had. they would only put one name on each thing. so then we went to this bar, the engine room, and got shitfaced on guinness. then bob's girlfriend wouldn't stop talking about shit i didn't care about, so i walked out of the bar and went and stood in what was becoming a line. i saw some other friends and went and talked with them until one of them got on my nerves cause she's a fucking stoner hippie who talks in that annoying stoner voice, so then bob's girlfriend comes and bothers me some more, and then the doors open. so while the opening band is on, masters of the hemisphere, she sees bob kissing another girl, and i think "oh fuck......not tonight" so she starts crying and i'm standing there not about to let her ruin my belle and sebastian moment, so i say a few comforting words and turn around and let my friend robbie handle the rest of it. so he kidney punches me for doing that to him. then she walks off and goes and says something to bob and the girl he was smooching, and bob hauls ass. he left the show. so there's all this high school drama going on around me with my friends, and i decide to not give a fuck, cause, hey! i'm here to see belle and sebastian, not play babysitter to a couple of drunk ex-lovers. then belle and sebastian come one around midnight and you can read reid's letter about all that. i will say that they looked nothing like the pictures or what i expected. except isobel....grrroowlll. they played about 45 minutes and walked off, and the stage lights didn't come on, so robbie asks me if they do encores, and i said "i don't think so. i hope not" and after five minutes of the stage lights still not on and no sign of the roadies i turn to him and say "maybe they do". as soon as i got the words out of my mouth, the roadies came out and started breaking down the equipment. we left and went to his bar i can't remember the name of and got re-shitfaced. at about 2:30 a.m., we went to kroger and bought some 3 for a dollar burritos and a can of pringles, cause none of us had eaten. we walked back to bob's apartment, ate the burritos, watched the southpark episode where they show that cartoon of fat abbot, and he goes "hey hey hey bitch. glock glock. ho" and all that kind of stuff and i fall asleep on the floor and got woke up the next morning by another friend that lives above bob. he was in his bedroom playing with his turntables, which he recently bought. so i walked upstairs to his room, told him to fuck off, and when i got back down, everyone else was awake and showering, so i did the same, and then we drove home. and when i got home i did the laundry and listened to my new bootleg. -brad +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
