Sinister. My loves, oh what a day already. I must concur with what dear Brandt said:

My head almost exploded today. That happened right after I got the confirmation message that I had gotten my tickets for the Belle and Sebastian show at the Warfield in San Francisco.

I feared anurism, myself. But alas, the shaking hands have subsided somewhat, and my skull seems intact, if a bit thick, so I'm told. I keep checking to see if they've "printed the transaction" at ticketmaster. They're lazy. It's been hours now. I have a cold fear of my card being denied or some other mishap that would deny me the seats I now have proprietorial rights to. God save us from such a fate. I too am flying in. I was thinking of a road trip, from here to SF for the show, then on up the coast. Unfortunately, this grandiose plan fell through before I could even begin to fantasize about it properly, and I must now settle for Just San Francisco. I don't imagine I'll be too disappointed if I can only manage one show, right? There are others who are less fortunate. I'm such a greedy girl. I want more. Ah, well. Well, if a bunch of us are flying in, perhaps we'll end up having a sini-picnic in the airport lounge. That would be a sight! Assuming, of course, that we're all in the same airport. Perhaps some brave soul will volunteer their mummy-services for a *real* picnic (hint, hint). I would offer myself, but. . . well, I'm not from there, and I wouldn't have the faintest clue. So, I will wait with bated breath instead. For the whole enchilada. Surprisingly, I actually have work to do, so I'll take my leave now. Much Sini-Love, Shannon. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
