I showed up for a Belle & Sebastian concert in a really small dingy club somewhere. All plywood walls & bar, etc. A woman at the bar was wearing the new T-shirt design: a yellow shirt with "Belle and Sebastian" written over a picture of the white horse on the hill (like from the XTC album), and the woman looked like the woman from The Full Monty, the (ex)wife of the guy from Trainspotting. I immediately took this woman to be Katrina, and wanted to ask her if she WAS Katrina, and did she remember me from the list as the boy who finally gave her the info on the record store where I bought the Tigermilk bootleg and never heard a reply from her, but I was too shy to approach. Kat, was it you? Anyway, there was the same design as a backdrop behind the stage, but the band wasn't playing at this club. They had to bus us somewhere else. So I put my boombox and my parka behind the bar and got on the bus. It took us on a long winding route, mostly beside a stagnent river that had a dis-used conveyer belt beside it, apparently it used to be an Amazon River-oriented theme park. We got to the venue and I assume we heard them play, but the next thing I remember was being back at the first club, where my boom-box and parka were not where I left them. I asked the "Katrina Full Monty Wife" woman if she'd seen them. She said no, then "wait, I think I saw them in back", then went back & came out with only the radio. Damn parka was gone. My favourite one too. I woke up, momentarily euphoric at having seen B&S live, then remembered it was just a dream. Not even a dirty one. Any interpretations are welcome. -brier +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
