Sinister: we all danced on whirling stages in our busby Berkeley dreams

[Ben Apps]

Well, we didn't *all* do it, but about 30 people did, including sinister's 
own Ian Rivamonte who even gave Stevie a peck on the cheek!  Stuart asked 
for about 6 dancers but the security got a bit overwhelmed.
Beans won the award for the worst joke of the night pretending he thought 
Stuart asked for "6 Dans on stage."

I wrote down the set list on the back of a crumpled ATM receipt. Here's what 
I wrote:

FTS
EXPEC
DD#2
TRAV LIGHT
WOMAN'S REALM
LORD ANTHONY
IYFYCIL
SCOO B-D
IDL NE1
THE MODEL
GMAFHID
JON DAV
JATDOH
TWATTYBUS
ROY WALKER
STCA

Encore:
SLY AND THE F S
ME AND THE MAJOR

So I hope that make's some sense! I didn't know the Sly and the Family Stone 
song.

Hmm, what else?
Stuart said it was the best place he'd ever played, he also sang it was the 
best sex she ever had.
At the time of the show the San Francisco treasure hunt had not been won 
yet. Stuart asked if the clues were too hard or if everyone was just dense! 
Solomon and Deborah, the treasure troopers were called in stage and received 
medals for their stirling work.

There was some band called Bright Eyes on first - whoever they are :-p  The 
singer reminded me of Justine Frischmann, he reminded Rachel of Tommy 
Gnosis.

It was a really good show! The playing was tight, the sound rich, Sturat was 
chatty and the set a perfect blend of old and new. If you find yourself 
caught in love is a Stomper! Oh, and we were treated to the full extended 
version of Scooby Driver. There was a good length article in the San 
Fransisco Weekly with a (p)review of Dear Catastrophe Waitress here:

On to L.A. then. See some of you at the picnic. More reporting back to 
follow.
