i know it's a bit after-the-event to be talking about the leeds gig, but i'm on the digest and i've only just got about a hundred delayed digests to read through, so my head's all sinister-y, no, what was i saying? about the leeds gig. well, me and my friend went to the whitelocks on the off chance i would be able to summon up the courage to say to complete strangers, "hey, are you sinister? i am the girl who briefly had a mouse, you may have read my strange messages. let's talk about belle and sebastian." and it transpired i didn't have the courage to do this, so i just sat down outside with my friend and we chatted and looked at other people out of the corners of our eyes, guessing who were fans. so, i failed at the gathering part, but i think maybe by the time belle and sebastian next come to my county i'll know you all a bit better, and it'll be enough to say "hello, i'm abi". the gig itself was quite the loveliest gig ever. i'm usually not in favour of sitting down at gigs, but it worked so well. and ice creams? ambassador, you are really spoiling us. "get me away from here i'm dying" is maybe my favourite belle and sebastian song i've heard so far at the moment, but stuart forgetting the words was such a gorgeous moment, i will be smiling my little smile whenever i think of it. me and my friend were enjoying ourselves so much, and we would have loed to go to brighton beach afterwards (and maybe with more alcohol in me i would have been able to meet people properly) but we had to get to our respective homes, being only teenagers and both travelling home alone. i haven't got TBWTAS yet (can you sense my jealousy?) because although i spent six hours on saturday with a three year old on my knee, her parents STILL haven't paid me (grr). when they do, i will be on the bus to town as much like a shot as i have ever been. and the whole thing about turning tables round... is it not connected to the phrase "turning the tables" on somebody, which is... how do i explain... it's like changing the situation so it's the other way around. oh dear, that's about as clear as chocolate (preferable to mud), isn't it? ignore me, i'm probably wrong. love, abi xxx ps. hannah? are you the hannah i went to see kenickie with and who recently sent me an item of confectionary? if so, hi. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
