Sinister: bowlie bracelets

[Jim Schmidt]

     "does terri win the prize for longest bowlie tag wearing or does 
     anybody else claim that?"
     
     --i'm glad i wasn't the only fool running around with mine on long 
     after the fest was over (it finally broke off on may 9th in a bathtub 
     in paris)...i really wanted it to last until i got back to the states 
     as it was keeping me safe on my travels, but that hard parisian water 
     was just too too much.
     
     just a little side note for those who haven't been fortunate to see 
     b&s live...i travelled quite a distance to see them...i had an 
     incredible weekend, met a slew of people i'll never forget...but 
     standing in a sweatied, dehydrated, 
     ever-pushing-to-the-front-"i-wanna-be-closer-to-my-gods" mass of 
     people made me realize what i enjoy about b&s the most--listening to 
     them by myself or with my closest friends...i'd see them again in a 
     heartbeat, but it was the overall feeling of the festival and not 
     seeing the band which made the weekend extraordinary...in a hippie 
     kind of way, it was the first in a long time that i've felt the true 
     meaning of "community"...the fact that they headlined it provided the 
     nature of that community and whoever headlines the next will dictate 
     the nature of the people and bands who gather together to form that 
     community...long live bowlie!
     
     ok, enough mush.
     
     cheers.jim.
