my dear lovely listerines, i haven't posted for about a week and i thought it would be a good time to do so, as i am entering the winter hours of my spring break, and the day is getting cloudy... To honey, thank you so much for tarting me up the other day on #sinister. i feel like wearing that fur coat/no knickers combo already. I had the pleasure of appearing twice this week in the local weekly, once in the background of Kitty Pryde's show at the 31st street pub (this is only a pittsburgh thing, sorry) where i played w/ them (they won best dyke-rock band in town) and once as a description of what the paper called "best looking baristas". i was pretty flattered. The place i worked always gets this vote in the paper because everyone that works there is some young college student/mod boy, but it described me exactly and i felt all blushy.[it said something about looking like a prada ad, which is not really true of course, but in pittsburgh it isn't hard to look stylish] (i am blushing actually as i write this, i can feel my cheeks get hot) so that was my ego rush for the week. though i am unintentionally single, and have been for a while, so it doesn't really make a difference. hrrmmm... anyway. all week (as #sinister folks know from my constant whining) i have been working on this stupid casting project and it is finally seeming like it got somewhere. not the best way to spend a spring break, let me tell you. the only thing that made it fun was the whole EP set and Tigermilk, which were on constant repeat down in the bowels of the foundery where i worked through the pretty days. i don't want to always be complaining though, so... I talked to my friend terry this week and he said that he LOVES london and is having the best time ever and wants to start a little art space when he gets back because he was all inspired by the tiny apartment galleries in East London. Pretty neat i think. So we will be living together and running a space next year it seems. If anyone wants a show, we would totally want to be an international gallery, so we'll keep everyone posted. ummmm... Dr sam's little advice column: If any of you musicians ever are told that they can play at someone's coffee shop/bar for a night. DON'T!!! it is the worst experience. you are standing/sitting up in front of these people and they are fucking ignoring you and talking and one table in the back applaudes, but everyone else seems to just look up like you are interupting their conversation. i did it last week and stopped half way through my set, said "this is horrible" and just left. i was embarassed to even have set up my stuff... i'll stick to real shows from now on, thanks ummmm...i seem to be one of the last sinister folk not to have seen High Fidelity, but i promise to see it soon. it sounds amazing. sigh okay so i just wanted to agree with who ever it was that was irked a bit by looper. i'm really sorry, but i have to say that, though the little essays are nice, they ring a bit too much like a scottish King Missle or something. a bit too much. i hope i don't swing a tide against me for coming out the of unconditional love for all b+s related things pile, but i can't keep it bottled up. therapy tells us we have to deal with things or they mess us up later. i don't want to end up exploding in my 40's over this. moving on... so b+s are coming to the US while i am going to be in Europe, this is classic. unless they hit the eastcoast much later than everywhere else we will be missing each other almost exactly. grrr. i may have to change my travel plans around them, which seems a little crazy, but you know, it's b+s! okay. that's all for now. love love love to you all. i envy those who can produce such pretty posts (like vel and laura) feelin' sexy, sam ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
