Sinister: Yelling at Stuart when the Asian Girl passed out

[Oscar Vivanco]

So there I am.  At my second B&S show in a row at the Warfield in San
Francisco, when this tiny Asian girl just ups and passes out.  People
scatter and the band stops playing.  Stuart edges up the crowd.  "What's
happened to her?"  The band is at attention.  She's passed out is the
general consensus.  Security carries her off and I yell out, "You made her
pass out with that purty voice of yours."  He looks at me and nods his head.
Silly Americans he must have been thinking.
Those two nights they did a Smiths cover, the leader of the pack song, Sly
and the Family Stone.
At that point there I decided on my new favorite band.  It had been
Morrissey.  Forever it was Morrissey, no question.  But B&S did it for me
that night.  And now I contemplate lyrics being tattooed on me.
"We know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing
We know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking from noon
Until noon again"
Not really, but its obsession.  I even sent away for a tea towel.  I live in
America, where I've never even heard of a tea towel, but I have a B at S tea
towel, and a mug and a mousepad and three shirts and all the posters and the
postcards and everything on vinyl and everything on CD.
And I'm the boy with the filthy laugh who's flying to Los Angeles and paid
$143 for a two day festival to see B&S play for an hour or two.  $100 for
the plane, $75 for a rental, $100 for a hotel, $8 a bottle for water and you
have the happiest boy for just under $500 for a two day weekend, not to
mention that I only work on the weekends so blaggh.
So I will confess to you
this is my first post ever and I don't know how much longer I can hold no
one's attention.
