Well, it takes a lot to get me out of lurkdom these days, but this sure caught my eye... Just my luck that one of my favourite bands is playing in San Fran the week before I'm flying out there, still you can't have everything! I'll be in Santa Cruz from 11th till 15th then San Fran till 21st, so if any North Cal sinistrines could let me know where's good to stay or go of an evening or even want to meet up for a beer then drop me a mail (OFF LIST of course!) Cheers Sketcher

anyone else on the list going to see the aislers set in san francisco tonight? probably a long shot, but who knows. but there'll be a group of us downing beer and bourbon at the edinburgh castle around the corner before the doors open. there was a great write-up of the aislers in the local paper this week featuring a quote from stevie jackson calling them 'one of the best bands in america.'

i'm sitting here today 'working from home,' which is a marvellous idea and which everyone who's compelled to work should do once a week. you can do it with your shoes off. you can do it with your own pot of industrial-strength coffee. you can do it with henry's dress playing at an indiscreet volume. you can do it whilst two manic housecats fighting for dominance use you as an obstacle in their steeplechase. i'm dishevelled and a bit hungover from band practice and dj-ing last night - it was my friend's last night dj-ing at Radio over in oakland, and he let me on the tables for a dizzying hour or so. most of what i played was crap, but 'eighties fan' sounded incredible at high volume in the crowded bar.
ah, i've had enough 'work' for the morning. off into the sunshine of the castro in search of lunch.
