So, thank you to everyone who came and milked tigers* on Friday night - it was a fairly successful success (only 2 short of 100 people!) and made me and Sam (and Dave and Kevan, DJs extraordinaire, despite Sam playing France Gall before Kevan got a chance to and reducing a proud man to tears) very happy and full of grins. Apologies for the dearth of live acts - we are a little cross about that, but we're hoping to rectify it before the next do... ...which, if we get our arses in gear, will happen in a couple of months, although the Garage is booked up for aeons, so we'll have to see. Thanks to everyone on Sinister who was able to come, even more thanks to people not on Sinister who took a gamble (not that they'll be reading this, of course, but hey! I'm an effusive kinda guy), and thanks to Jeepster for their support and generosity. You're stars, the lot of you :) With our very own Pam Berry and the superfly Josh from Holiday, who we embarrassed by playing one of his own fantastic choons, we had the promised pop star quotient, and with the luscious, pouting Scarlet we had our very own legend in the making - if this girl isn't a S!T!A!R! within months, there's no justice in the world. And Erica, honey, I'm not taking the piss, promise :) And it was satisfying to see everyone cast off their shackles and rock their socks to Madonna's "Anna Friel" - Sarah, I wished you'd been there, I really did. It was less satisfying when the fuses blew, though by that time (2.20 am) even the hardcore (and the poor buggers staying at my house) were secretly hoping that they could just go home. The sherbert was nice too - but the best thing was that I ended up spiriting away Honey (get well soon big man!)'s very own tape tree fancy-CDR thingy, so I can listen to Kate Rusby in the comfort of my own home whenever I want... So there you have it. I am so chuffed it all worked, and I hope those of you who did come enjoyed it enough to come next time, and those that didn't (Hi Vic :)) are sufficiently jealous to pay a visit next time. Yay! I'm smiling :) manly hugs, Little Blonde DJ xxx *sadly this is not exactly true, much to Stevie Trousers' disappointment. We were thinking of milking Nick Dastoor, in fact I was getting quite steamed up at the thought, but in the end we just ripped off his hard work compiling obscure B&S lyrics. Ta Nick :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
