Sinister: THE SHOW LAST NIGHT

[TopBanana1 at xxx.com]

BELLE & SEBASTIAN- NOV 1, 1998- SUPPER CLUB

lets see.... me aaron & maurice got there at 
about 10 to 7, met up with stephen, my love, 
then we waited on line for a half hour or so i think, 
got a tshirt, stuff to drink, just sat around 
deciding weather or not to steal the B & S posters 
on the walls. Aaron took one. Stephen was jealous! 
We shoulda all taken. the opening 
band Containe was kinda mediocre, your average 
 pop/rock band,  a few nice progressions, 
but nothing great. they messed up a few times, 
i think she dropped her pic, im not sure, 
but  I dont think anyone cared. 
no one was listening anyway. one of the guitarists 
was smoking while he was playing guitar. The smoke 
from the cigarette 
looked pretty sexy rising up  
from his guitar into a white wave in the air, 
but completely unpractical.
That band was not good enough to be able 
to smoke & play at the same 
time. one or the other buddy! Im so mean, sorry, they 
really weren't THAT bad.
Stephen wanted to know why  he wasnt allowed to smoke 
inside the venue!
(The supper club is a gorgeous venue,  by the way. 
Complete with mints the the bathrooms.)
so now containe finished!! yay!!! Belle & sebastian are 
coming on soon!
We're standing there for about a half hour 
singing to beatles tunes, the name game, 
reaching our retard potential, and finally they 
come on. I was psyched like crazy, antisipating 
this moment for months down 
to weeks down to days to hours to minutes.
And "the state i am in" comes on, good song, 
but i was looking for a little more excitement. 
ok, fine, next song, "belle & sebastian", 
i was looking for a little more excitement.
Next song, Slow Graffiti, nice song, but im looking for 
a little more exitement, play me & the major or soemthing. 
was  not my favorite set list. nope. theyt played some 
great songs though, shes losing it i loved, seeing 
other people was nice. 
simple things spectacular, 
tis a shame its only  a minute long.
They did a beautiful cover of  turn turn turn.
Stuart M. has nice arms. Stuart D. has a nice face.
for Spaceboy dream they put on the big disco ball, 
very cool.
then there was another series of songs i didnt 
know from the EPs. Im quite ashamed but i got bored 
from that, laying my head on stephens shoulder. 
Aaron seemed to be enjoying it though, dancing around.
the crowd was sorta lame. everyone was 
dressed cool and everything but when it 
came down to the actual music, lots of people didnt 
seem to be into it, they werent 
moving around at all, not even tapping their feet,
they were just staring at the 
stage. Maybe they did enjoy it and they dont 
feel the urge  to dance 
around when they like music, i dont know.
Youd think everyone there was a critic or something, 
all they did was stand there and look at the band, 
analyzing it or something, but there was lots of 
applause after each song, so i guess they did like it.
Us 4  and,  at most, only 2 other handfuls of 
people that i saw were going crazy, but maybe 
thats because we were  a little drunk.I think 
i woulda been like that either way. or maybe not. 
but who cares cause it was more fun this way. 
Thanks Stephen!!!!! I got a bit of a belly ache though.
The set was pretty short. not happy with the set list.
but of course thats only according to my taste. 
Im sure someone else loved it. no dissapointments 
without expectations.
 We all cheered for 
an encore but it didnt happen. 
Concerts over, stephen gets another beer.
We get out jackets from the coat check, aaron 
got soem autographs, 
I spoke to the hot guy in the yellow shirt. 
He was 28 but he looked like a baby. 
Most people there were older, like late 20's. 
I know its not old, but for me, being 15, it is.
Um, so thats about it. As we're walking out the 
door either Maurice or Aaron shook Staurt D.s
hand cause he was talking to him before, so i just 
shook his hand for the hell of it. 
sexy handshake! Im in love with Staurt D.
Isobel was wearing a 
funny white dress or something with 
sequins, haha, so cute.
Ok, took two pictures with me maurice 
stephen and aaron, 
gave stephen a goodbye hug and went home. 


love
shirl
