Sinister: Have Mercy On The Girl Who Sings To Be Adored

[Astrid Wiezell]

Hey sinister!

How ARE you my little darlings? It's been far too long since, well, the last 
time.

Since the last time I have:

- Been in London to visit my big sister and when at How Does It Feel managed 
to not say hi to both Paul Healy (who I stared at (er, sorry, not in creep 
way I hope) a lot that night) AND Ken Chu.
- Turned 18! WOHOO!! I have since got my beloved Dl4 Delay Modeler, a great 
stompbox pedal from Line 6 which totally fucking rawks and is great. Great 
people who has it: One of the guitarists in Explosions In The Sky, Joel 
Shearer from Pedestrian and Wilco.
- A couple of days ago me and Amanda went to Accelerator: the big one, which 
had such great artists performing as Wilco, The Shins, Explosions In The 
Sky, Broken Social Scene, Jens Lekman, HAL etc. etc. etc. Oh and The Von 
Bondies.

The main events at that day (3 p.m. to 3 a.m.)

1. Amanda gets in. Big thing since she is a two years too young. And I am 
not, finally.
2. Explosions in the sky perform and afterwards I ramble something to them 
about their concerts being not mere concerts but it was an epiphany and so 
fucking beautiful etc. etc.
3. Wilco almost makes me cry because they are so great and Jeff Tweedy is 
amazing but then...
4. ... the inevitable happens: a drunk, humongous bearded wilco-fan emerges 
through the crowd and i start telling him insulting htings but he keeps 
saying WHAT until I give up and to get my message across just gives him the 
finger (Readers, if you knew how wild I felt, I mean, seriously, I'm a B&S 
fan, how wild is my life?). But then his other friend pulled my ponytail and 
the first guy started like trying to dance with me but i was angry and told 
him to sod off.
5. I got a WEE bit too drunk by the time of the Von Bondies and thought to 
myself: "Hell, I have a man and he can't see me now, I have no one to 
impress, I want to DANCE, ah yes, I have to DANCE, I will let the rawk and 
rawl possess me!!" and I danced like Paula Abdul was possessing me. Or well, 
not Paula Abdul, but I was behaving like a crazy drugged-out person having a 
seizure. Note to self: Let's do that again soon. V. much fun.
6. By dancing without dignity sadly attracted gut from Detroit who after the 
Von bondies came to hit on me, but I mentioned my boy and he moved on to 
Amanda.
7. Half an hour later: Amanda and Detroit-guy are making out. I am freaking 
out.
8. I want to go home.
9. We go home.
10. We see bus leaving, have to wait another hour for a new one.
11. Meets v. funny guy in suit. We talk about gross food for an hour.

Yeah that was it. Must've been dead exciting for you guys to read about.

Also my solo project is working out nicely, I'm called Good Scout Promise 
and my demo which is starting to be finished now is called "Unless Otherwise 
Stated" I think.

Oh man, I think this was my worst post yet. If you think otherwise, do not 
remind me of other posts which are worse.

Let's just forget together.

Love
Astrid

Ps. I think I am starting to enjoy being me quite properly, it's nicer than 
I thought. I don't suck as much as I feared, which you must admit is a nice 
thing to realise.
Pps. Krister: I will get back to you soon! Running out of time on the 
library computer. If oyu come to stockholm we should meet!
