Sinister: I'm turkey-hungry, I'm chicken-free, and I got into U of Missouri...

[Erin Lewis]

Hey kids,
     My punk boyfriend has been converted!  I was convinced it would 
take many, many listens over many, many roadtrips, but all it took was 
"Simple Things" as song #1 on a mix tape I just sent him.  (Individual 
responses may vary.  Said boyfriend is blinded by love.)  It's the first 
B&S song he's ever heard.  So if any you have friends who love Fugazi 
and June of '44, there is salvation in "Simple Things".
     But!  That is not what I chose to write about today.  I have 
recently been accpted into the Masters of Photojournalism program at the 
University of Missouri - Columbia, and I'm leaving January 2.  This 
means no trip to England (unless someone can think up a magic plan), and 
more importantly, no trip back to California to see Belle & Sebby when 
they go west.  So I've sent Katrina an e-mail begging B&S to stop by 
Missouri on their second US tour.
     But!  I've just realized that unless there are B&S fans in 
Missouri, or somewhere reasonably close (8 hours is close enough for me, 
e.g. Memphis, etc.), then why would they play there?  "Athens is a very 
important and credible market," to paraphrase Mr. Donovan Matador, but 
St. Louis is perhaps not.  So!  All of you who are hiding near Missouri 
or would contemplate traveling there to see the show, please make 
yourself known!!!!!!  Or I will never see B&S in this century.  And!  If 
they don't play Missouri, at least I will have someone to picnic with 
during the school year.  I make lovely potluck dishes, and I am quite 
friendly.  So vote for me, errr... Missouri!  Yeah, because everyone 
knows it's the BEST (and I'm not just saying that because Columbia is a 
poo town that just happens to be the best/only place to get a masters in 
photoj).

Love, Miss Erin (Erin #1)

P.S. Hello to Erin D., Erin #2!

Pee S.  I know a boy who thought Sade's "Smooth Operator" was actually 
"Roo Oppa-didda".  It has a nice ring to it, but what about midgets?
