Fans of long downloads and those with fast connections will be pleased to know that there are some big old pictures of the Regents Park Sini-Birthday picnic/Tigermilking at my site here: http://robster75.tripod.com/sinister.html Being completely devoid of wit I've failed to caption or annotate any of them. If you can think of any suitable titles, mail me off-list and I will plonk the best ones on the site. Think of it as a kind of competition. The kind without prizes.

Sinister: Pigtails, Pre-Scala Plea , Picnic
by steve peet 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

Pigtails... mmmm, pigtails! If I were a girl I'd definitely have pigtails. Maybe I should grow my hair and wear them anyway? Pre-Scala Plea... I know its short notice but is anyone meeting up anywhere before the Scala gig tonight? If so mail me off list, I'll check later. If not, see you in there. Picnic... OK, the MANCHESTER PICNIC: I'm going to have to be a bad parent. Everyone (that being Peter, Lucy and Cay so far!)wants the picnic in the next three weeks. Which is not good for me as this month is manic for me [moving house and job and maybe having to go to Newcastle one weekend, oh and hopefully having a visitor too :)] So I'll help organise it, 'cos I'm nice like that, but I prolly won't be there. This time at least. (sketcher sobs) But how about Sat 22nd September? Meet at 2pm - venue to be confirmed (I say by the petting zoo in Heaton Park, being twee and all, but it's a bit out of town?) Going on to Smile (fab little indie club) that night (via Corbieres and Fab Cafe?) Can someone up there (photojenny I nominate you!) phone the Star and Garter and check Smile's on that night? Ta. Anyone who fancies coming to a Manchester picnic in the next few weeks should mail me their requests asap and I'll post the definitive playing out list soon. Right that ought to do it?

Sinister: Submarine
by P F 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

So this is how the summer ends. With torrents and flooded gutters. I left home (home!) today just as the rain started battering down. By the time I reached the station I was so wet, I might as well have been in the shower, fully clothed. Then the rain ceased its hostilities, and left me undercover and wailing internally about nature's seeming injustice. At the time it was terrible, but I can smile about it now. I remember when it was all quiz nights around here. The bus through the deep blue evenings over Waterloo Bridge and down to the space-age architecture of Rotherhithe. The questions about time zones and airports, and always about Reality TV, presumably so that I could have something about which that I could be satisfied, rather than sorry, to be ignorant. Chris Perriman pulled the joke of the day by replacing his bonkers claim that the old Foxgloves song 'Chicken In A Bucket' sounds like 'The Model' with the seemingly even more bonkers claim that it sounds like 'Family Tree'. The trouble is, this claim is not 100% bonkers. Essentially the songs are very dissimilar; but there is just about enough resemblance at the level of the chords of their respective verses (let's say, G-D-F-C; A-E-G-D) to make the claim impossible utterly to dispel; unless anyone thinks they can do it, and wants to do it for me. Me, my fingers grow tired. Heather emerged from nowhere and referred to Lloyd Cole. If you're not going to say much, you might as well allude to Lloyd, that's what I say; and she did. Chu referred to me in his tale. I appreciated that, as no other frigger had done so. Though Chu's grasp of tense was poor, I thought his feel for detail actually rather good. There was the colour; the gin & tonic; the random references to Lloyd Cole; the Editor - yes, Chu did a pretty good job, there, if truth be told, though next time I want him to improve on this offering and write 2500 words about how grate I am. Geneva Fairport wrote about London and Glasgow and set the heather ablaze. Her post seemed to ring bells and spark flints. In fact - I have just remembered it - amid all the fab detail, she referred to the pinefox too. Astoundingly - this really is remarkable and worth reporting - she alluded to an UNWRITTEN SONG by the pinefox. In an age when most people don't even bother with the written ones, that is pure class. I fear that the San Francisco picnic, in all its exotic improbability, is a potent rival for the Great Lakes one which is said to be happening round the corner. What has happened to the Lakes picnic? Has everyone gone jumped in the lake? And why can't that last sentence be correct? It's not fair. The cars are rushing through puddles and churning up endless raindrops outside. So this is how the summer ends. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

Sinister: Great Lakes Picnic- TOMORROW!
by JAMES GILMER 01 Sep '01

01 Sep '01

Yes, that's right all you Great Lakes area Sinister people. The First Ever (to my knowledge) Great Lakes Sinister Picnic is being held tomorrow in South Bend, Indianna!!! So far I know of nearly ten of you that will be there, for any of the others who haven't spoken up, come join us!! I know there are quite a few of you out there, so come out to play, and talk, and quite probably drink. There may be some campgrounds areas still open near South Bend, so bring a sleeping bag if you want to stay over and drink with fellow Sinister peeps! The Instructions (reposted from my earlier post for any who missed them): Directions below provided by a fellow listee: It is called Leeper Park and it is just on the south side of the Saint Joseph river off of Business 31. Take US 31 south and turn right on either Riverside Drive or Park Lane, the first and second rights respectively. At the point where Park Lane deadends into N. Lafayette there is a tennis center and that would be a dandy place to meet up. People could even bring rackets if they fancied a game. Detailed neighborhood map: http://www.mapquest.com/cgi-bin/ia_find?link=btwn/twn-map_results&zoom_leve… Map of SB and the I-80/US 31 exchanges could be found by zooming out on this map Please check Yahoo maps or map quest if you have any further questions on how to get there, or contact me and I will relay your questions. Just to make it clear; we will be meeting up at the tennis center in Leeper Park. Look for me, I'll be driving a blue Achieva and wearing an orange Isobel & Fox B&S shirt. 5'7", short spikey hair and an idiot's grin with black rimmed glasses. See a piccy of me (as well as a few from B&S gigs) at: http://photos.yahoo.com/jgilmer2001 I won't be that hard to recognize. Anyone who wants to bring snacks, food, drink, whatever is welcomed and encourage. Musical instruments are also strongly encouraged (and if I could play it worth a damn I'd bring my 12-string) and anything/anyone else you'd like to bring is more than welcome. Any questions, comments, thoughts, spare change, et al, are more than welcome and appreciated. Drop me a line if you can make it or if you have questions. Hope to see you all there (at least all the Great Lakes people) Jim "Being clever's a fine thing, but sometimes a boy just has to get out and meet girls" - Grant Morrison _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
