Sinister: Sinister lives!

[Stuart Gardiner]

Blimey, I'd given up on this whole Sinister thing ages ago.I just couldn't 
quite bring myself to unsubscribe after 8 years. So if there's an attempt to 
bring things back to life, I'm in...

I guess I should introduce myself really, since I've posted, like, once in 
the last three years. I used to be on here a lot, honest... But then life 
got in the way; things like travelling round the world, running around a 
lot, drinking even more, and occasionally pretending to work.

Then last year I moved to the States. Well, not really - this isn't America, 
this is Portland. It's a different world. A world where they rip up a 
freeway to put in a new park, where bikes are twenty times more common than 
Hummers, and where you can actually get decent beer instead of Budweiser. A 
fantastic place to live, at least until Mt St Helens blows up again. And 
it's also the most indie city around (OK, Austin might dispute that) - Dandy 
Warhols, Everclear, Modest Mouse, Steven Malkmus, The Shins, Sleater-Kinney, 
The Decemberists, Elliott Smith...

And to all those sinisterines I used to know, and haven't seen in two years 
or more; I'll be over in the UK 29/9 - 9/10, fancy a pint?
