Firstly Mick Cooke wrote in a mail to us...
The Karelia are playing at: The Garage, Highbury Corner, London, on Saturday 16th May, Supporting Penthouse and Dream City Film Club. (We're on first, so that should be 8.30pm at the very earliest.) Tickets are £6.
We are also about to tour Germany, with Richard Colburn, B&S percussion specialist, on drums. Details to follow.
Cheers,
Mick
-- Then I remebered that Nick Dastoor was asking about the socials, but since I've been unsubbed for a coupla weeks I hadn't told you all anything... so the details are as follows. The blue soda social is run in the poetry cafe on betterton street in covent garden, london. it is held every friday (but not the last one this month i'm afraid) and costs a mere £2.50 to get in. for that money we supply board games, snacks (just pistachio's and crisps and jelly babies), a film/showing of sort or a live act. In our first week we screened Gregory's Girl, in our second we showed Withnail And I, in our third we had a live acoustic set from a guitar duo (softly spoken and nice melodies, a bit red house painter-ish), and next week will be our forth. We're not sure what we'll have yet, maybe we'll show Trainspotting, but what we want to do if anyone has a tape of all the South Park's to date is show those. Who knows. It's a really cool evening out, starts around 7:30pm and finishes just after 11pm (get there early to get your money's worth, or get there late if money means nothing to you!). There's a great atmosphere and you're guaranteed to meet loads of people from the list who are simply the best to be around as well as inevitably meeting some cool people who stumbled on the poetry cafe that night. For more information visit http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/social.htm -- The next London Picnic will take place this coming Bank Holiday Monday 25th May 1998 (next one will be a Sunday, we promise!), it will again be held at Primrose Hill (it worked so well the first time, so why change it?) and again we'll meet around 2pm at Camden Town tube station. Yet again we think it's a great idea if everyone brings along an item for the food blanket, and maybe we'll beat the spread we had last time - soooo much food, it was lovely :) Entertainment includes the board games and twister (i'm not obsessed honest, it's trousers who beats people up if they don't participate!), soccer, croquet (sic?), sun, food, climbing lamp-posts to save kites, running around like fools, probably someone playing a guitar, anecdotes from a mis-spent youth and whatever else you all bring. Again, and this I can't stress enough, EVERYONE IS INVITED, no exceptions, whoever you are, if you can join us, you're welcome to. Anyone needing details can, after tomorrow evening as i've yet to update it, take a look at http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/picnics.htm and if you're doing a picnic and want it listed on this page, let me know by mailing me a similiar sort of listing for me to put on the page for you. -- So that's the news, I hope it's a good enough herald of my re-subscribing. As for other news, belle and sebastian anyone?, then we hope to let you know lots of new stuff over the coming month or so. love all you still, david kitchen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
