Ink Polaroid #438: This one is of me leaning over the balcony railing of my friend's summer house. I just woke up so my hair doesn't usually stand up like that. If you look hard enough you can see that I'm squinting really hard because I hadn't time to reach for my glasses. My friend, Bea, likes me better with contacts. "Glasses make your face look small," she tells me. I'm holding my hands up like some champion or would-be conquerer, but in my hands i hold Jeremy--Bea's pet turtle. She found him in her garden once, plodding through the tomatoes. She still doesn't know if it's a boy or a girl, but she says it must be a boy because he's very lazy and doesn't respond when you call. I thought that was funny. That day marked a year since she found him, so now she's going to give him back. We set him free later that afternoon. He sort of just sat there, not moving, not quite understanding its new-found freedom I guess. She hopes it'll crawl into some other girl's garden and be given a new name and be passed on similarly. Turtles live a long time, so I guess it's possible. francisco ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: problems with list
by Gregg Weiss 04 Sep '97

04 Sep '97

Is anyone besides me having trouble reading messages from the list? When I try to open a message (i am on the digest), my mail program shuts down due to an error. I have no problems with messages from other people--just with the B&S digest. I also had this problem SOMETIMES with individual messages from the list before i switched over to the digest. Has anyone had similar experiences? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Digest change
by P.S.Mitchell 03 Sep '97

03 Sep '97

To all: By popular request (2 people) the frequency at which digests are produced has now been changed to 1 per day. Your list admin is off on holidays from Saturday for two weeks and I leave you in the capable hands of David Kitchen - he will be able to approve subscribes and unsubscribes that go wrong but not too much else as he'd be inundated. Mail to owner-sinister(a)majordomo.net will I'm afraid fall down a black hole until I return - but I am hoping the list will keep going, digesting, archiving and whatever else it does OK in my absence. If not, sorry, and I will pick up the pieces when I return. If any French members of the list wish to recommend places to visit, drink or lie around in near Quimper (Brittany) and Saint Lo (Normandy) during the next two weeks by private post they would be most welcome! Thanks, Paul email: owner-sinister(a)majordomo.net P.S. Oh, and I will miss the B&S radio sessions too so if anyone is taping one for Andrew Dean... ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Re: Sinister: Snow Patrol

I ran into a bit of the Polar Bear confusion too a short while ago. I vaguely recognized the name as being an indie pop band when I saw it in the concert listings while in LA and my sister wanted to see the one of the other bands on the bill so we went... when I spotted Dave Navarro in the audience I realized it wasn't really gonna be my kind of show. Stayed through the whole set as it was the band after them that my sis wanted to see, ahh they were really bad. Anyway hope all those going to the New York B&S shows have a great time, and be sure to tell us all about it! -Sarah In a message dated 97-09-01 10:43:08 EDT, keith(a)qss.co.uk writes: << [Keith Watson] Aye - some guy pointed out to me that the bass player chap who used to be in Jane's Addiction - his new band are called Polar Bear, so I dare say they've changed their names to protect the innocent.

Sinister: Fan Club Site Updated
by David & Katrina 03 Sep '97

03 Sep '97

Just to let you all know, a few people had said that my drop down menus were not working on some systems and were basically hassle. Although I've chosen to keep 'em, I've added a little something for everyone who has dificulties with them... a text based site map. The site map can be found by following the link from the main page. -- Also, I've made a page for the compo (is no-one gonna enter?, this means that our one entry is a guaranteed winner! even if we only get one more entry it's still a 1 in 2 chance!) so that everyone who has just subscribed is aware of it. -- A few people had trouble finding the artwork for the next single (I'd put the link on a drop menu), this can also be found from the site map. -- And finally. I've created a basic form letting you give your feedback on the site. It mails straight to us but only works if the mail program you use is part of the browser package (such as Netscape). -- This site is for you and anything you want to see will probably be implemented. -- Still creating a Frequently Asked Questions page. If anyone has a question they want answering then just mail it to me at the address below. -- Regards David Kitchen -- ***************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/Belleandsebastian.htm mailto:d.kitchen@virgin.net ***************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
