You begin to realize there's little to be said about the Washington, D.C., gig once you know that the band covered a _Southpark_ song. I hate to add to the confusion, but I could have sworn it was Stuart David at the piano who was responsible for this, just before he broke into "A Century of Elvis." So we can now say, most assuredly, that "It's Hard to Be a Jew at Christmas" was performed by Stuart D and/or Chris, possibly with backing from Isobel and/or Sarah. Exact, in'it? It's probably not even important. Let me just quote John Monroe for a moment... "I saw B&S cover a Southpark tune!!" The venue was full up and, as Mr Dossinger says, <<the front and center was populated by guys over 6'2">>. I know because I was one of the guys over 6'2" populating the front and center. Ah, well. Perhaps you'll find some justice in the fact that I was trapped behind a boy who was even taller than me. And thicker. Anyway, Reid gave an excellent synopsis of what went on at the show. I wish I'd known he was there: I could have added him to the list of sinister bunnies I met, many for the first time. Imagine seeing the band onstage, and just in front of you are Megan, Mick, Brian, Matt (the adorable NYC foursome); you know that somewhere in back are John and Michele; and the crowd pressing against you, filling the room, is undoubtedly dotted with sinisterines you wouldn't know from an empty beer bottle on the floor. Add to this the awkward, nervous little chats you had with Stu M and Chris before the show, and... Is this what it feels like to lose gravity? It's certainly enough to take away the pain of the Guv'ner set. --- Damon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
