Heigh ho I hope this finds everyone in a fine state of fettleness. I am grand and dandy, not much to complain about really, the summer is here, and it has pissed with rain pretty much every day since June. Ahh the joys of being in Ireland. Not a lot really going on here, most of the nice venues in cork have closed down, which means there are only 3 nice concert venues here (down from 6) which may or may not be good, i am undecided as it is. The reason for my email is very very simple. I am about to leave these shores for the sunny climes of North America in 3 weeks ( mental note pay for ticket and insurance) Anyway i will find myself in New York for the last few days of my trip, namely from the 12th to the 14th, so i am wondering if any of you nice people ( if anyone actually reads this) that live there or are familiar with the place could email me some nice, interesting places to go in the city, or even *Gasp* meet up. One thing must be confessed though, i will only be 20 at the time so any suggestions that come my way, if any should keep that in mind.(rant) It always strikes me as odd that if i was an American, i could if i so desired go out and die, if not kill for my country but i couldn't go out and have a drink to celebrate coming back alive. (/rant) So yeah that would be great if someone could email me sometime. In other news, i managed to miss belle and Sebastian twice this summer, once in London due to tickets being sold out and then at out equiv of Glastonbury, merely because i hate festivals Cast ne'er a clout till may be out Peace, love ,lollipops jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
