So, our little Leicester picnic took place this weekend. While all the rest of you were dancing like loons in London Town, a few of us met in the park and sedately ate sandwiches and drank ribena. In attendence were James, John, Tom, Danny, Helen, myself and two friends of Tom's (names forgotten, sorry). I felt terrible, having spent Saturday night drinking all sorts of rubbish and dancing to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack at a friend's barbeque. I was so drunk at the barbeque I even ended up drinking some dodgy liquor someone bought back from their holidays. Sometimes I am just so disappointed in myself. The picnic, after an awkward (we all got lost) and sticky (i kept dropping my fizzy drink and spraying it everywhere) start, was lovely. We watched the skate kids skating and the fitba kids playing fitba and Helen, Danny and James playing frisbee while I sat quietly and tried not to make any sudden movements. Then James produced some beer and even though my first thoughts were 'Urg, alcohol. How horrible', I soon got back into the swing of things and perked up. I'm not one to give in easily. I burbled quite a lot of nonsense, weebled off to the nasty toilets and said a cheery hello to a fellow boozer. We discussed our mission to Birmingham and looked at John's colourful map, and I got sidetracked by the amount of pubs near the Alexandra theatre. Goodness, there's alcohol everywhere these days. The only thing that would have made the picnic any better would have been the attendence of Mr Ken Chu, Sir, Geek God and all round Good Bloke. But as he sent me a parrot I'm sure I'll find it in my heart to forgive him. Nuff respec to the Leicester Massive. I'm sure some of us will bring you some gritty reportage of the Brum gig, too. Love Madeleine xxx And hooray to John for coming to join us in #sinister. It's ever so nice in there. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
