And to each and everyone of you wonderful indie style picnic filmstars. Owen, Julia pointed out later on I'd been calling you Colin all day. Sorry, how embarrassing. As was most of my turbo alcohol injected patter in the later hours of the afternoon oops. We should have had name tags. Either that or I should have paid more attention. Sorry to everyone. I was rather excited you realise. But Linda does look like Cameron Diaz, you know its true. It was a great day though, it was *fine*. For youz that didn't make it let me set the scene.... It was a great sunshiney morning y'all . About five to one it turned into the rainiest day in the whole world ever. We all got wet apart from honeyPaul cos he had an umbrella. Stuart Murdoch was there. Paul had a splendid idea for a game - see who could kick stuart murdoch up the arse in a father ted stylee ha ha. I bet i get a row for saying that - i had the idea to see who could be the first to get stuart murdochs hat on their head. i won, probably because i didn't advertise the fact a game was in progress. It stopped raining long enough for us to scoff some cheese things and a fairy cake, so that was good. Then we went and played in the jungle place in botanic gardens. >That onion bread thing..." HA HA I thought the dough with bits on it was tasty but no else did. Safeway dough and onion cheese bread. Great stuff. I tell you later on in the afternoon those dairylea things were oh easily the tastiest thing in taste. Then we went to the pub and i got drunk. Later in the evening i thought i was fireproof and burned my tongue. That's how good a day i had. And all you boys and girls with a glint in your eye for the boy murdoch will be glad to know he is every bit as lovely as you want him to be. He's really good at telling stories hehe. Unusually however, I did not get offered any drugs in the toilets.....or maybe i did but i didn't notice. Lord i was rather silly. I dont think i'm telling how it was very well, someone take over........i'm shrinking.....ABANDON LETTER > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: nic nacks
by Johnston, John CT 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

Had a lovely if brief time at the Glasgow picnic on Saturday. I was in Glasgow for my best friend's wedding (there being no cinemas in Hammersmith...) and hung around for the meet up. It was a real pleasure to meet all you good good people - hello to Chris, Keith, Paul and my ferris wheel pal Julia, Owen and the lot of ya. I'm hoping to appear in future BandS tunes after thrilling Stuart M with the aplomb with which I handed out the cheesey sticks... "Boy in the park Having a lark As you're handing out the dips: The cheesy straws and salty chips That onion bread thing..." And somebody (not a listee I hasten to add) offered me drugs in the toilet of that pub we went to after the heavens opened!!! This has never happened to me before and as I don't know the first thing about drugs I was amazed/fascinated/embarrased so I made my excuses and left. But what a polite young man, I thought. Coz drugs are dead expensive aren't they but there he was offering me a go (or whatever you have with white powdery christaline drugs). How charming Glasgow's miles better John ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Come to think of it I must get my apology in early and say that as much as I am looking forward to crawling out of my shell that is Exeter and meeting some more of you lovely folks, it is going to have to wait until the Autumn shows I'm afraid - cash crisis 'n all that.

Sinister: Hopkirk and Lee/Seymour Stein
by Barrett R 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

Hello all In response to the people who have mentioned H & L over the last few days, if you see the single BUY IT. I came across it at the weekend for 2 quid and remembered somebody talking about it on the list so I took a chance. 4 songs, 10 minutes, not a second wasted. It's great. I hope there's more to follow. Thanks to whoever mentioned it in the first place. I was listening to "Seymour Stein" at the weekend and I noticed for the first time the line about Chris(I think) looking like Johnny Marr "Before he went Electronic". Is this what Stevie sings or did I imagine it? It brought a huge smile to my face regardless. Ronan ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Re: PICNICS
by blue soda 27 Apr '98

I've updated the details to reflect the fact that two picnics have passed (and please, let us know how they were dearies!), i've also added a few things to the london details, such as a number for an ansaphone on the day where ou can pick up last minute changes and directions to the hill. plus added the carious games that are now going to be there. katrina and i were talking about the picnics over the weekend and thought that it would work better if, instead of bringing just your own meal, how about everyone bring an item to go into a communal type buffet thing. for example, bring some pringles/crisps and some dips, or how about a pile of rolls with a slab of cheese (remember to bring a bread knife!), even better some quiche. we will supply a great pile of paper plates and napkins and probably some crisps and dips too. but everything else is up to you. if you're going to bring a large item (cake? massive quiche? 100 sausage rolls?), let me know and i'll put the info on the web page and ansaphone so that other people can see/hear and bring other stuff instead! anyhow, the reason for the great biog buffet? well it's cheap, only a couple of quid max and would supply a great pile food, so we can eat at leisure and just luxuriate all afternoon! also, it's very much a communal thing in that the community spirit would shout through the roof, and then we can all discard life and it's trials and run of and live up a hill somewhere with Honey and Peter Miller! david :) looking forward to it? you bloody should be! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

as two people kindly pointed out, i neglected to include carolina menedez's e-mai for people to mail her, anyhow, to correct that; Carolina Menendez (roca11(a)hotmail.com) and again, if you have a moment and would like to make someone smile in spain, just send her a chirpy e-mail as she really wants to hear from other people who like b&s and hasn't met many in spain. thanks again david someone wrote: > > Dear David > > I would like to send an email to Carolina Menedez--but I didn't see her email > address in the message that you forwarded to Sinister.

Sinister: i wanna live in los angeles
by ahalter 27 Apr '98

27 Apr '98

well but yes i already do... this is for suggesting a picnic date los angeles listers... courtney suggested the 2nd or 9th of may and i would like to cast my vote for the 2nd as after that it will be many graduation parties and that sort of thing at _our_ (surprise!) school and i have some of those to attend its just my selfishness but i think that may 2nd is the day i think is best... of course this means we will have to throw things together in a bit of a rush but i think we can manage! and where will this lovely picnic be? should we take advantage of the fact that we live and make everyone else jealous by picnicing on the beach? or we could go to griffith park which is rather nice too but very big and i dunno where the best place to meet up would be - the observatory? so that is my proposal i think i will say to email me privately so that we donot clutter up this list too much also if there are things that people want to bring shall we all bring a dish to share? i am vegan and if there is anyone else who has things they cannot eat or whatnot we will work it out and courtney i am emailing you as soon as i am done with this so that we might work something out as i think that we are the most obviously in the same vicinity... so los angeles and surrounding area people lets go! take care allison ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: The Catalysts from Glasgow !?
by Perfection As A Hipster 26 Apr '98

26 Apr '98

I'm sorry to bother with a fairly unrelated question, but since some of you are living in Glasgow I'm wondering whether anyone has ever heard of The Catalysts which must have been around before 1994 and featured Kenneth "Kennie" Forte (formerly of The Golden Dawn and Christine's Cat) ... I'd need to know in which year their extremely marvellous demos were recorded and would be delighted to learn about the whereabouts of the other band members ... I'm too lazy to write snail mail letters and I'd need the information quickly, y'know. Please e-mail me privately. "It's raining" Andreas The rain it raineth on the just And also on the unjust fella But more upon the just because The unjust steals the just's umbrella (Charles Baron Bowen) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
