I saw you again at the Mouse on Mars show at the El Rey Theatre and this time, I stood right behind you absorbing your confidence and energy. As soon as the music started, you began hopping around and dancing exactly like Ducky in Sixteen Candles. I watched you with admiration as you flopped your arms around and shook your head, capturing the chaos of this universe in the movements of your body. I happily ducked and lunged from your powerful movements as did others all around. You did the slip&slide and Roger Rabbit too, I think, and my heart just melted. I remembered that I have seen you before at another idm event and wondered where have you been all my life... I desperately tried to look at your face but you would not turn around and notice the admiring gaze of that girl, still a slave of conventionality. I watched others, bobbing their heads to the rhythm, attempting to construct a dance out of Mouse on Mars or just jumping UP and DOWN while you were really defying even that, and hopping ALL AROUND. And in the end, you yelled "indie rock" and bounced away, like Tigger, out of my life forever, but never out of my heart. So if there is a small chance that you might subscribe to idm@hyperreal.org, please jot me a note. Because I love you. Forever and ever. :) P.S. I apologize for the offtopicness of this message. Please dont kill me or be mean to me, I have a weak heart and could die at any moment upon provocation ;) _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
