Dear Sinister, I am just in the door after transversing the transbay tube from Berkeley back to San Francisco. Belle and Sebastian played a blinder - We got on stage for Boy with the Arab Strap, but alas brunch and mimosa's kept me from being up to be on stage for the whole show. I was sad and happy at the same time, I teared up during "dirty dream" and 90% of the tears were of happiness - thinking about where I was when I first heard that song, how B&S was my first ever concert way way back in Dublin when Stuart smashed his guitar. Thinking about how their albums moved with me through sad times and happy times and now much happier times. Basically thinking how everyone of those artists on stage meant a lot to me, and seeing them playing in the greek theater with Venus and Jupiter shining on them ( i checked - they were the real stars we could see) I also now am thinking how those mimosas and subsequent $12 glasses of wine at the venue are going to hold me in bad stead for my 7am meeting tomorrow. But alas, that is hours away, and all I can think about is the fact that they ended with La Pastie Love Jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
