by Tara Widmer 22 May '98

22 May '98

Another reminder that a SF Sinister Picnic/Meet is set for Sunday, May 24th @ 12 Noon in Golden Gate Park, "hippy hill". We'll be hanging out for a couple of hours, so swing by when you can. Family, friends, lovers, pets invited. Directions are below. You will know us by the bright orange and yellow picnic basket Brian is bringing, and hopefully we'll have a ghettoblaster (hehe I always wanted to use that word) kicking out the B&S jams. Bring along any games if you please, but there *is* a playground nearby I understand.... Food-wise, salads, drinks and chips are good ideas. Extra points for bringing dessert. Should you require further information before the picnic time, feel free to contact either myself at (415) 285-1805 or Brian at (415) 292-2342 or e-mail me at the following address: Nicola4230(a)aol.com Directions ****** facing gg park from the tip of haight, hippy hill is in the front to the left side right next to the big childrens playground. on sundays there is a large impromtu-ish drum circle and people play ball and frisbee and lounge on colorful spring blankets and dance and kiss the sun. Weather **** 52°... 68°F Mild, More clouds than sun (better than today!) I'll be the brunette, shoulder-length hair, tan complexion, 5'5, 110, do say hi if you see me! possibly in my union jack tank top in a show of solidarity to our English brethren. Oh yes. see you there! Tarabelle ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Better doing a course near to London. My sister's doing one at West Kent College in Tonbridge, which she reckons is pretty damn good. On Fri, 22 May 1998, A.M.

I've been wondering this too. I listened to an old tape, and the "house-sharing" sketch is still as funny as I remember it being five years ago... possibly funnier, since I've now actually lived like a student, and really know the meaning of the phrase "Hey look, it's only a sausage." His last two novels have been pretty lame, too. Still, at least Alexei Sayle's new series is well up to his usual standards.

Sinister: 3, 6, 9 what?
by Kayemess 22 May '98

22 May '98

3, 6, 9 seconds of light surely refers to exposure time in a camera or under an enlarger. This I gather by the story of the photograph inside the CD case, as well as the picture of the old fashioned light meter on the actual CD. Probably time under an enlarger. That would be a long exposure in a camera. Well... unless it were one of those night time city lights pictures that you take by putting your camera on the tripod and opening the shutter with a cable release. Then the 3, 6, and 9 could refer to bracketed shots-- one exposure at each time. Whatever. I've never been able to do timed exposures very well, and my camera even has a cool timer inside of it. I was speaking with someone about this a while ago, a B&S photography connection... Ink Polaroids, Photo Jenny, etc. etc. I have to go to work now (at a photography studio, conveniently enough!).

Sinister: punk in drublic
by Tara Widmer 22 May '98

22 May '98

Someone asked about the meaning"tigermilk", maybe you could tell me, to what does the title "3...6...9 Seconds of Light" refer? It's probably something really obvious that everyone knows about, except me, sort of like the milky biscuit thing a couple of months ago when i didn't know what anyone was talking about. <<Come to think of it i don't know if it is the seagulls, i'm just guessing from the fishy flavour of their... what's the proper word for birdshit?>> Flavour? I love the way the british swear, arse shite bloody bollocks etc etc pish. All the kids round here can do is "hella", "the music is that club was hella loud, man!" not as fun, but if I use the Brit terms then it sounds pretentious, or just wrong. Who is Jimmy Tarbuck? I went to a Bjork concert last night, and standing just a few feet away from me was this guy from Metallica, James something. So i debated, should I meet him or get autograph, although i think his band is crap, just for the hell of it? but he looked kinda scary so nevermind. well I am extremely, make that *EXTREMELY* hung over and supposed to be working anyway, so bye. taracita ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sorry everyone for the evil misuse of the list but is anyone from down south (eg London) going to see The V*rve on Sunday? Because My mate's won tickets and we need a lift...private e mails please...please? Actually, this isn't such an evil e mail as it gives me the chance to tell you that I will be bringing my Casio to Primrose Hill on Monday, and If someone else brings one we can have a little electronic orchestra...all together now, <sings> 'Pigeons in Flight....'

None
by Janine Papp 22 May '98

I would just like to say that someone here at work was listening to a mix tape and the song "Lazy Line Painter Jane" came on. I actually hopped up out of my chair and starting dancing around and singing along, I was so happy. Now the lovely people I work with are used to me being a bit strange (during the job interview I believe I told them about how I love bees, and my desk and computer are covered with bee stickers, little stuffed bees, bee stamps, a jar of honey, etc.), and they're pretty tolerant of my Belle and Sebastian obsession (I do play them almost every day here), but my boss just emerged from his office, gave me a strange look and then told me to calm down. He also asked me if I sang in my band and said there's a reason I don't :( anyway.... I AM so excited about the new B&S album that I have to just not think about it or I will simply explode.

It might be a good idea, to wear that one since they sell them in Fopp, and Martin who works there went to the Assembly rooms concert and is a big fan.
