Sinister: belfast, childish glee
Hi list, This is my first post in years... All i wanted to do was express my trembling excitement at B&S's first show in my favourite town - in the very hall where I almost drank myself to death on numerous occasions during my student years... Oh Friday, when will you come? Not only the show, but the start of my Christmas Hols. Becoming a teacher (I Rule the School, as it were) was the best thing I ever did.. TWO FULL WEEKS paid christmas holidays. Re the Menagerie bar in Belfast, more than one person has told me that Struan once played an impromptu secret solo show there - is this true or was I misinformed? About a friday meet-up, The Botanic Inn on a friday is an horrendous cattle-mart where no reasonable human being should go. The Bunatee in the Union Building may be closed, as it's out of term time. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest a plan for those interested: the basement bar of the Empire Music Hall from about 6pm onwards. It's a good bar, and they also serve cheap and tasty meals for those who may arrive in town hungry. If this doesn't suit, email. See youse all, Ian.

This sounds like a good plan. I will be there. If you tell me where the Empire Music Hall is. Can we have some kind of call sign so that we will be able to recognise each other, and I won't have to go up to complete strangers and suffer embarrassment when I ask them are they are going to Belle & Sebastian only to get the reply "No, but I hate cockfarmers like you" before glassing me? So how about, I will be ostentatiously reading the NME while my glamorous friend Rener will be glancing around the room glamorously. And just so that you don't think I'm some oldarse who happens to be in the pub reading the NME by sheer coincidence, I am actually an oldarse so don't be afraid to say hello. incidentally, for the purposes of this meetup my name is not Dirty Vicar but Ian. does anyone know if the Nelson Mandela Hall is the kind of place you can bring cameras into? in other news, I went to see Stereolab but was a bit too *tired* to appreciate them. The Jimmycake played a stormer of a set before them, though. bless you all.
