dear sinister, my name is layla. i have been lurking on this list for about a year or so. i'm the reticent type, i rather like lurking. i've enjoyed your company. why now de-lurk? (aside: i like that "de-lurking" is an accepted expression on this list.) the reason is pragmatic. my boyfriend and i are planning to attend both the toronto and montreal shows in february, following the tragic miscalculation of 2003 (we were living in montreal at the time, and decided not to go to the toronto show -- the band's only canadian stop during the dcw tour. i don't really remember why). we've since relocated to toronto. is anyone else planning to attend both shows? would you maybe be driving from toronto (february 25) to montreal (february 26) and back again? we'd be more than happy to subsidize gas money (or split the cost of a car rental). i'd also bring cupcakes. who could refuse that offer? you may have reservations about taking six-hour road trips with complete strangers, possibly along the line of my boyfriend's own concerns when i first broached this plan ("what if they're serial killers who prey on belle & sebastian fans?"). rest assured, we're entirely non-threatening. please e-mail me off-list if you think you might be interested. neither show is sold out yet, as far as i know. thanks, layla __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
