After I got there I was hope that the Supper Club would have left their sport coat policy in tack for the night. Maybe if all the alt-rockers had been dressed alike in sport coats they would have stopped trying to be so cool AND DANCED! It is time for rock crowds to get beyond the head-nod dance and start acting like they are enjoying it. That and stop talking during shows. "Who is singing that part? What is making that noise? Where is the singer?" That was what I heard most of the time during last night's concert . My nasty glances went ignored and I felt cheapened that I had to resort to nasty glances at a B & S show. Anyway, I was stoked. I usually don't like live acts that try to sound exactly like the album, but they were so tight and having such a good time that I couldn't help myself. In addition to a great show, Times Square was deserted when we walked home afterwards. It felt so small. Almost like a model of Time Square that someone had built. Life does exist above 14th street in Manhattan. back to lurking, Allen ______________________________________________________ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".

Hmm. I have heard this sentiment on about every list I've been on. Why do some people not dance during the shows? It might be because they don't want to dance at shows. Maybe they're there to just watch the band. Maybe dancing is not how they express their enjoyment. If you like to dance at shows, go right ahead. Find a nice spot where you're not going to be constantly bumping into other people (something that can be very annoying) and go to town. Please don't tell others how to have a good time or how they should express their enjoyment of the music.

Anyway, hope to see some list people at the show tonight. I'll be easy to spot-- I'll be the guy standing quietly watching the show. I might even get a little crazy and do the head-nod dance.
