Dear Sinister, I actually shouldn't be complaining as a I actually have a person to be my Valentine who is cooking a huge roast from Trader Joe's in the kitchen right now. I know I haven't written much but I was inspired last night after attending The Shins show with the man who is currently making me a roast and my friend Richard. Off topic, I danced a bit too feverishly last night in bad shoes and made an ingrowing toenail much worse to the point where if I touch anything to it the slightest I involuntarily scream. I've begun to having waking nightmare about toenail removal and the aftermath. I digress, I had finally gotten the "Fans Only" DVD and was moved to tears many times in the 2 plus hours, and laughter once when the man (who is making me a roast, still, in the kitchen) says "How is having Trevor Horn producing your latest album not "Londoning Up""? Well well, they did have lovely coverage of bits of the Coachella festival, didn't they? So my friend Richard starts talking about The Cure last night after the show (which he is apt to do, often) and mentioned Coachella, and I brigtened thinking of my American Ailines frequent flyer miles and asked us all to put our hands in to further explore the Coachella options. We've called friends in L.A. who will join (and drive!) and it seems as if we are halfway there, now only until next paycheck do the tickets need to stay available as I am very very broke (and will be again after I purchase a two day pass). It's really lovely because I didn't think I'd get to see Belle and Sebastian again this year and little things like listening and watching footage of the band really remind me of how dear they are to me. Truly my "favorite band of all time, in the whole world" a title which was ironically once bestowed upon The Pixies 12 years ago when I saw them at the Cameo theater in Miami who are now (The Pixies) getting billing over B&S (even if it is on a different day) to which I say bah!, you can't go away for that long and then get 2nd billing at a huge monstrous festival!, but apparently they can. I'm very excited and very hungry, and glad I can share my enthusiasm (and terrible grammar) with the wall of sinisterites out there. Ciao, Lesley __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
