Sinister: confessions

[clairk at xxx.edu]

Bless me, sinisters, for I have sinned.  It's been about a month or 
so since my last confession.

I _meant_ to write a good report of the show I saw in St. Paul, but 
then I had to write a paper about it and it never occurred to me until 
the other day to just copy and paste that, and now it's 450 miles 
away with the rest of my stuff since I'm home for the holidays now.  
Sad!  I'll try and give a brief rundown of the good costumes which 
the band was wearing on account of it having been Halloween and 
all.  Actually I only remember three of them doing anything out of 
the ordinary so this will be pretty quick.  

Stuart came out dressed in one of those full-body skeleton outfits 
you can buy at Wal-Mart for like $5 (but don't buy them from 
Wal-Mart, they suck).  He played the ribs on it like a xylophone, and 
then that was the end of that and he had some other outfit on 
underneath that which he wore for the rest of the night.  Mick had 
his face painted all in white and had put fake blood all over the 
front of his shirt, which rocked all of us like the real thing.  Sarah 
had one of those little plastic devil's pitchforks and a pair of devil 
horns which she was wearing as a headband.  I think that about 
covers it.  Also they played some songs, and they were all pretty 
good.

Did I mention I was sitting in an opera box seat at the show?  I 
think I did in the last e-mail I tried to send, before the internet 
devoured it alive.  Well, I did.  I wish I'd had opera glasses to view 
the concert with but I think it would have been at odds with my 
singing along to basically every song and shouting "Celtic!" when 
someone down below shouted "Partick Thistle" first.  I don't think 
people in box seats do that sort of thing.

Anyway, so I'm in Illinois right now so I watch a lot of TV.  I don't get 
to see Belle and Sebastian on it, though, so I can't report back on 
anything like that, though.  The video for "Hey Ya!" is totally 
awesome, though.

Hello to the #sinister people I know.  I should be back around 
soon enough.
