Sinister: Putting the po(o)r into Reporting Back
by Robert Brennan 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hello So.. um.. Saturday... I was in a pub. Carsmile, Mark H and Emma were there. It was nice but nobody else appeared to be coming. Someone who wasn't there said "We're all at the top of the hill. Start climbing". So we scaled the mighty knoll of Primrose Hill. It was colder up there so we made sure to buy beer beforehand. Pringles too because the low conductivity of dried potato makes excellent body-cavity insulation. Atop the hill we spied Ben, Ken, Marianna, and Big Gay Mark. A picnic was enjoyed and we were soon joined by Sarah, Trousers, Moore, Maja and a couple of foxes. The temperature dropped rapidly as an atlantic-borne depression (possibly accompanied by free-floating anxiety and occasional showers) rolled in from the west. The sensible people played football. The rest of us huddled together, complained and consipired to return to the pub. Booze won out over freezing to death and the non-football faction split for the Spread Eagle where conversations were had on subjects like 'indie' and 'borders'. It was all much fun but sadly I had to leave early. The rest of my day involved a train ride, more beer and a spectacularly bad game of pool. Thanks to picnic mummy Carsmile and picnic suggester Paul. Apologies and hiya to anyone I failed to mention above. Bye for now Robster http://liquid2k.com/robster75 P.S. Going to see Lambchop this week. YIPPEE!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Friction (Fight Talk)
by kchu＠daimlerchryslerservices.co.uk 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

On Saturday afternoon I was walking down the street, and there was this man getting beaten up by a gang, the man was squealing in pain as they were all kicking him in the ribs. After each of them kicked him about 10 times, I decided to step in. I put on my metal studded boots, put on my knuckle duster, and, without a moment of hesitation, I joined in with the kicking because Hey, everyone else was doing it. And if people didn't like me kicking them, they should have run away, afterall I was wearing metal studs, a knuckle duster and a t-shirt that says "I'm a twat who likes causing pain for fun". Later on, I spotted that that man's mum was standing at the corner shouting for the kicking to stop, so I walked up to her, and punched her in the face too. I think I've proved that I really am A Hard Man, and I can do whatever I Fucking want, cos I'm great. That didn't really happen. What did happen is that I was at a picnic! And it was a lot of fun, there were things like a hill (with a chill), nice cookies that were baked and shared, as was a cake, and there was some of the ol' in outs between a 4" rod and a hole, and someone's ball had lumps. Then there was a football match, during which the midway arrival of a foreign signing saw the result of the game turned from a runaway victory for one team into a (debatable) draw. Soon after the football we descended onto the road towards the Spread Eagle, and a long while after that we arrived at the Spread Eagle. A little longer after that still two sinister boys came together, and with satisfied smiles on their faces. Even longer after that, a sinister couple arrived and with even more satisfied smiles on their faces. At the Spread Eagle many things were done, some tried to have conversations about Debbie Harry, but ended up with talks of willies that last for 5 seconds, some preferred sports such as football, while some preferred to indulge in gymnastics, combining with tennis, and like John McEnroe it was played with a tongue in cheek. Some had to depart early, some stayed, some went to have dinner at this quality restaurant where you can watch, hear, and smell the food being prepared, on the menu was Pasta Salmonella, the chef was professional and the kitchen was clean too, once. Later on some demanded music videoes, and some dictated through cards and some insisted on stealing cars. All in all a fun day wouldn't you agree? Now it's Monday and back to reality, but then reality only lasts for five days and it'll be the weekend again, which is when good things happen. I can handle that.

Sinister: Sunday-picnic-odyssey
by Stefano S. 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Sunday... mhmhmhmh... yesterday, wasn’t it?? ...Woke up pretty early and trying to be a god picnic fellow went to the [rather empty] kitchen in a singing shiny unusual mood, and prepared half a kilogram of one of my favourite traditional north-Italian Christmas cakes, actually a hyper-caloric sweet Cream. Then went to the local grocery and take biscuits and chocolate. Everything ready, lets go. Caught the bus then the tube. Camden station closed, stop at Mornington Crescent and extra happy walk up to the Spread Eagle. Time: 13:15. Perfect timing. Let’s have a pint. 13:30 no sinister around, suspicious. Let’s have another pint. 13:45. Still no-one around. The magic word start running around my mind “Saturday”.... Saturday.... Saturday.... Where the hell are the instructions? (I had printed out Steve’s e-mail...)... probably I’ve let it in the kitchen.... mhmhmhm.. Pint #4... 12:45.. Saturday Saturday rumble rumble gasp gasp.... Back to Mornington crescent, Camden station still closed.... Up to the northern lines. Back to the bus and in the [very crowded] kitchen, Saturday Saturday! Shame!.....mhmhmhmh.... I’m apparently a bit dazed. Try to kill the depression having half of the half of the half of the Christmas cream ... had an inspiration and went in the bedroom *listening* to a century of fakes... ‘your feeding your fat face with every etc etc’... no chance to be dropped anyway... ...... Still ½ of an ½ a Kg to go... second inspiration: BOWLING!!!! I remember someone called for a second sinister bowling night {I’ve sorry I haven’t checked in the archive, who you are! :)}. Why the bowling? 1) I live right in from of the bowling lane, which makes everything really comfortable [to me] 2) I’ve still ¼ of Kg of cream I’ve prepared with all the *love* of my for your dearest sinister [not to be mentioned I could afford no to eat it all alone] 3) Finally I can do something useful for the list since I’m London Hence instruction and bowling poll: I suggest the Hollywood Bowling as a venue. How to get there? Take the northern line, to east Finchley and then the 263 but which stop just opposite to the bowling place.... It is not too complicate. Isn’t? Anyway we could meet somewhere else instead. i.e. there is a pub, the white old lion or something similar just by the side of the east Finchley station. Should we meet there, have a couple of pints, and then take the bus, or if the weather is clement walk up the hill, get sweets or whatever, ‘scoff them’ and then bowling??? Is the program feasible??? If you think it is all right, please contact me at the following e-mail address: s.santabarbara(a)qmul.ac.uk Just to know how many we will eventually be and in case book the bowling place. Point number 2... date.... I know it is quite a pretty short advice, but to you think TUESDAY will be fine? Open to any options, just I’m off on Wednesday.... Take care Yours, stfano ‘Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/’ September, October, November or December? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: this is good, trust me
by Marisa Privitera 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hello all you lovely people I have some very good news for someone out there who is either in the North Eastern U.S. or willing to travel last minute. Remember that contest to design a B&S cover sponsored by Matador Records? It was posted a while ago. The prize was a pair of tickets for what ever region you live in. Well, I won for Boston. Wait, don't be mad, you have to understand that I NEVER win anything. The record company doesn't know the exact location of the seats yet because they are still in the hands of the promoter. However, they assured me that they would be great seats. Wait, it gets better. And for those of you who just scan for names you know or trendy topics.....Ken Chu. I already have 3rd row center seats. I am keeping which ever pair is better (sorry) and selling the other set which I'm guessing will be just as good anyway. I don't want to see these tickets go to someone who will resell them for 3 times the value to some desperate fan. If that happens, I will hunt you down. I am selling them for face value plus the evil ticket master fees. That's $70 for the pair. I told you it was good :) I hope that those of you coming to the show will have a beer with us. Thank you to Stacey, our lovely picnic mummy! xo, marisa __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hello all you lovely sinisters. Belle and Sebastian is this weekend! Yay! This poor girl who lives about an hour from Boston is attending the show on Saturday night, and was wondering if there were any listees who are kind enough to lend a couch or a floor. Many thanks and pledges of eternal love shall be given, as well as anything else that is in my power to give. (Please, please, please, please, PLEASE will someone let me stay the night? I'll love you forever.) (And if you're willing, please email me off the list.)

Sinister: people try to make me do things
by juju fox 28 Apr '02

28 Apr '02

halo again sinister. ::phew:: yesterday was my niece madissen's 13th birthday. i took her shopping for some ballet things she really wanted. then we ate lunch together. somehow, my veggie burrito was wrapped in a chicken burrito paper, and her chicken burrito was wrapped in a veggie paper. it made me feel all dirty once i discovered bits of chicken in my rice. i took it up to the counter to explain how they'd mistakenly given me the wrong sort, but then i checked madi's burrito, and discovered the mistake. it still made me feel dirty. and i was afraid to tell anyone about it. so there. i've confessed. i may have eaten some part of a chicken yesterday, but it wasn't my fault. ::i shot rockets:: after dropping her home, i drove to work. saturdays are always puzzling when it comes to behavioral patterns of traffic. i never know if i should leave earlier or later than on other days. if people are vacationing, i guess the freeways are more crowded. but if people are shopping, the surface streets are crowded. i wasn't aware of anything particularly special happening this week-end, besides my niece's birthday, but i left a bit early anyway. i think just to get out of that house (so many kids). after stopping for gas and a car wash, i still got there too early. so i sat in my car feeling warm under the windshield glass and trimmed my nails. they shot off my finers like sparks. it was rather neat to watch, but now i have to vacuum. ::lil bunny juju:: it has been cold and grey the past few days. april, she thinks she's march. but may will be here next week, and i want to run thru the redwoods before the weather turns hot. my skin hates the sun. i have to hide indoors, or under rocks. last night i was standing at the end of the bar where i play piano, resting my sore wrists, watching still clouds hovering outside. i told myself i wanted to feel like a mushroom. i wanted to feel tiny against tangible giants. so tomorrow, once i get some rest, i will drive to find trees. i will most likely end up driving to the very town where *he* works. where he used to live. where i fell for him. but i won't go there to see him. i'll go there to borrow a friend's cello that just happens to live where he stays during his weekday commute from up north. ...now you can see how i get my heart into trouble. so grate with the justifications. ::please erase the ? from over my head:: today i had breakfast with an old friend. he's actually my housemate, as well as my bandmate... but we haven't really been friends in a long time... not since he met his crazy jealous girlfriend. but they finally broke up last night (for the tenth time), so now i get to ride shotgun again. he's the nicest guy, and so talented and genuine, and he keeps going out with the worst girls. you know, the kind that give the rest of us nicer ones a bad name. i don't understand it. ? ::too much time on my hands:: i think i'll attempt one more time to see e.t. i tried to see it with *him* last month, but i'd be too embarrassed to explain why that didn't happen. but i saw that movie 20 years ago, loved it, came home and played the theme song by ear on our old upright piano, and from there taught myself how to read music, and now look at me. juju's got a musical career all cos of neil diamond. i just want to see it one more time, come home to play the piano, and get on with my life until the next 20 years comes round. (let's hope i find something to do with myself by then.) heartlight = on juju __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
