Sinister: You know, sometimes things go well...

[Craig Rowson]

Hello new friends (hopefully),

First post so a quickie introduction: I'm Craig, 21, living in 
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. Graduate of Religious Studies (people chuckled 
at me in Freshers Week for that one) and currently trying to find identity 
outside of full time education.

I was hoping that said identity might be found outside of the general 
rat-race or the call centre culture of the North-East and so embarked upon a 
journey into writing. That's been going okay but alongside it i have had to 
embrace that which i was trying to avoid by data-entering for the DSS. Not 
fun and not clever. So here i was expecting my first post to be full of woe, 
bemoaning the lack of stimulating employment and more seriously the lack of 
anywhere in Newcastle to go for a night out to hear some decent indie music. 
(Stone roses is about as alternative as you get if the urge to dance bites.)

But then i only go and get myself a new job in the same week that i hear 
about a new club starting in Newcastle and so things are looking up. The job 
ain't fantastic but its in the design school of Northumbria University so i 
should get to meet some creative types.

More importantly it looks like i'll be able to socialise once a month while 
listening to the music i so dearly love, rather than sitting at home with my 
rabbit (who seems to like Mogwai but hasn't divulged his tastes too me in 
any greater detail - guess that's why he's called Silent Bob).

I'm guessing there must be some fellow sinisterees in the North-East so it 
seemed a good topic to begin posting with. From reconnaissance so far i have 
gathered that the night is called 'The Walk' (after the Aislers Set song 
perhaps, who knows?) and it promises to play all the best new alternative 
releases along the same lines as Offbeat in Sheffield (which i have 
unfortunately never attended.) That means i should be able to dance badly to 
Belle & Sebastian without being out-monkeyed on the dancefloor by Ian Brown 
fans. The first one is on the 6th February, a Wednesday night i know but 
this is surely a cause worth supporting so i suggest that a sinister 
presence is necessary. Whaddya reckon? There's live music too!! Who's with 
me?

You can e-mail iamwalking at hotmail.com and ask for a copy of the flyer and it 
is beautifully nonsensical.

Let me know, and hello again!!

Craig.
