Sinister: bunch of loopers.

[Troy Hakala (Exchange)]

Ok, no one answered my last post about London but I'll try something new
(but related)....

Surely there are people on this list who live in London. I'm going to be in
London April 2-6 with my girlfriend (already got tix for the Gentle Waves
show on April 4), but not being especially religious, didn't realize that
that weekend is Easter weekend. So... is all of London closed on Easter
weekend? What does everyone suggest to do in London besides eat Indian food
and drink the world's best beer? Anything interesting going on that weekend?
Any recommended restaurants or pubs?

Thanks!

*sigh*

i just got back from london...
what can i say?  i'm in love.

the highlight of the week had to be the looper gig, although sadly 
i had no access to email while in london last week (the price to pay 
for sleeping on the floors of people you only vaguely know), so i 
did not hear of any meet up.  my friend brendan and i wandered about 
for a long time on the street where the theatre was, and then we 
found it (it is small!), and then we waited on line to pick up our 
tix.  as we were standing there, brendan tugged on my sleeve and 
nodded toward something.  it was stuart and karn, brushing past us 
up the stairs.  once we got into the theatre, i was a bit confused 
b/c it was so small, and really a comedy club.  eventually we shyly 
joined the hipster kids sitting crosslegged on the floor.  it DID 
feel a bit like watching tv, and we were, i suppose -- 5 of them, 
and 3 projection screens.  the show was amazing, i thought.  i'd 
only listened to the album twice, and the performance sounded pretty 
much like the album, but the visuals definitely made it...  they 
opened up with spaceboydream, which was a nice surprise.  after the 
show, i thought i'd pick up a looper tshirt or badge or something, 
but there was a line, and all those cool-looking kids scared me a 
bit, so we just up and left and got some really late dinner, as i 
hadn't eaten all day....    i wondered if there were any 
sinisterites there, but i didn't know how to tell......

oddly enough, the next night i had my first b&s dream, but it isn't 
anything to write home about (or write sinister about, i suppose!)  
i think it was a result of that strange Time Out article, where it 
mentions about isobel getting sick.  because in the dream i was 
supposed to sub in for her, but i picked up the cello (well, i guess 
one doesn't actually Pick Up a cello, but...) and i couldn't play 
it...  ah, well....


okay, kids.
take care.
