Sinister: the important first step

[Mr Nicholas Litzow]

Hi sinister people,

I've been coaxed into making a first post, quite possibly inspired by 
new newfound knowledge that i'm not the only brisbane person on the 
list (hey steven). Its all a bit scary - all these established fans 
with their bittersweet stories, their in-jokes and their seemless 
integration of belle and sebastian quotes into everyday language. 
(Who'd ever have thought belle and sebastian fans could be 
intimidating?)

Well my name's nick, i'm 19 and i'm from brisbane australia. Its 
exciting that there are more brisbane people out there, feel free to 
send me messages if you like. My musical life changed forever a few 
months ago when someone from uni unwittingly gave me The Boy With The 
Arab Strap and Belle and Sebastian turned from being one of those bands 
that "i've always been meaning to get into" to one which i most 
certainly was. A number of albumns later and i'm attempting to convert 
everyone.. the Boy remains my number one, though. 

On another bris-related note, is anyone out there going to see the 
gorgeous augie march next thursday? Strange bird soothes (addle 
brains), excites (train) and amazes (drowning dream) me and i'm looking 
forward to it intensely. Any other augie fans?

Finally, I'm going to be going to San Fransisco in December and I was 
wondering if there was anyone from there (with similar music tastes) 
who could maybe fill me in on some of the venues or give me any helpful 
internet sites..

Thanks beautiful people!
(that wasn't so hard)
