hello sinister-- this is a much belated official report of the SF sinister picnic. due to a set of spectacular directions leading all to a very small spot within a very large park, the sini-picnic was also, for many, a sini-marathon. one participant clocked in at over 3 hours. my apologies, again, to all who had not intended to walk 5 miles that afternoon. the pickle prince even scaled a mountain in his search for picnicness. at least the weather was on our side, and frisbee was played, until a small child was inadvertently harmed, and a photo contest with our london counterparts was undertaken. it seems as though edinburgh has beaten us all however. we may have scandal, but you lot have good design. all those interested in eating well should make sure Mike is invited to your picnic. the only thing we lacked was irn-bru. we ate classy food and listened to music and made friends, many of whom had traveled across many states. so yes, it was a success. on other POP! fronts, i am currently recovering from the news that ms. britney spears has decided to snub all of northern california during her upcoming tour. i was so looking forward to her show. pop princesses seem to be corporate-legitimated homoeroticism for teen girls, and this i certainly support. to be in a stadium full of young girls tramping it up -- for each other! plus, in a brilliant New Economy move, a video collage of print ads that britney has starred in is projected before the show -- so you too can have all britney's accoutrements! cover your body with the same shampoo! fill your body with the same milk! thousands of girls thinking, "i want britney's body," in all it's delicious ambiguity! i suppose i'll have to content myself with memories of sporty spice's show last spring, with the punk rawk dykes who threw her bouquets of roses. yours, kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
