So, right then. *I'M GONNA BREAK THE RULES FOR SIX-POINT-THREE SECONDS* (avert your eyes! nothing to see here!) I simply had to write and say, "Vive la morte de la Beatles debate!" Yes, yes, say of me what you will, and hurl things at me when my back is turned, and put chewed-up gum on chair in hopes that I'll sit on it--just please, PLEASE, do not revive the minutiae-laden discussion of the band. I've spent the last week going all glassy-eyed and slack-jawed whenever the words J**n, P**l, or R***o appear in a message, and my down-arrow and Delete keys are getting overused. *BECOMING A LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN AGAIN* (there but for the grace of Honey go I) It's a ridiculously grey day here in San Francisco. Our "summer" (I use the term loosely) comes in September and October, and it's been rather crap thus far, so I've rebelled by spending some time tooling about in the collection of listees' photos. (That'll show the weather, now, won't it??) Who know that there were so many lovely boys in our midst? I surely didn't, but am most pleased to discover that this is indeed the case. And what with all the recent chatter about nakedness, you know,... Shall stop there before I teeter toward (or over) the edge of inappropriateness. The various Tales of Picnic(k)ing circulating around the list as of late have made me agree with Ms. Santa Cruz, Margo Schubert, that we Northern Californians should put down our Odwallas/Cosmopolitans/Your Drink of Choice Here-s for a moment or two and motivate to gather together in the name of all things, um, picnic-y. Won't you join the fun?? My friend Noel, whom I trust completely in matters such as these, claims that our pals Godspeed You Black Emperor are making their way to the City by the Bay on 10/30 and 10/31, which fills me with glee. If we can't witness the glory that is a live performance by a multi-part band of fabulousness from Scotland, we can damn well witness the glory that is a live performance by a multi-part band of fabulousness from Canada. Are you with me, Comrades? I think I see the sun. -emily +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
