hey sinistereenies, you know the treasure hunt thingie well someone i know saw stuart m on the metrolink in manchester and asked him what he was doing and he said he was laying clues for a treasure hunt. unfortunately at the time i didn't know about it and so couldn't find out any details (and i wasn't there anyway) but i thought it was cute that he was doing it himself. my boyfriend decided that it must be hidden in bury because that would be a witty pun on buried treasure (geddit) but then we realised bury is quite big, ie its a town and so it would be pretty difficult to find a trophy there. the real point of the post... ***manchester meetup news*** conclusions i have come to so far... i would very much like to drag everyone out to chorlton for a picnic, (as its where i live and you never know when you might bump into members of alfie / the charlatans) but it is a bus ride out of the city centre and i presume people will be arriving at different times so it wouldn't be practical for me to shepherd everyone. so i have decided that we'll have to stay in the city centre. this more or less rules out a traditional picnic, but you never know... to proceed further i could do with knowing approximate-ish times people will make it into manchester and how they will be getting here because if everyone is coming to picadilly station i can arrange to loiter there for a bit. i know the gig isn't for a while, but if you could at least say "lunchtime, train," or "evening, car" i'd be grateful. also if anyone has any real objections to spending the greater part of the afternoon in pubs speak now or you may be disappointed, unless you have a fantastic idea for something sparkly and new to do in which case also tell me know and i'll arrange it.... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
