Hello All. Very well said John, and lovely subject line, by the way. I happen to have a swell picture of this sinister looking cat wearing a t-shirt that says the same thing. How bizarre is that? Kudos to everyone who made it to the picnic. And everyone who *made* the picnic. Kayla, that pasta salad was a thing of beauty, and the sinister cake. . . well I've got a fine picture of that masterpiece somewhere, if I do say so myself. One of these days I'll actually hook up my scanner and get those pics posted in a conspicuous place, for all those who care to witness the glory of the San Francisco Sini-Picnic. It was glorious, and good to meet you all. Even, and especially, the lovely non-sinister Christina who's brilliance shone through when she suggested we eat the sini-cake to A Century of Fakers. Never has a cake had a finer, more apt, musical accompaniment. Though I've not posted on the subject, I do want to say, now that the strange fog of shock has lifted, that Sinister has been a remarkable place in the past few weeks. Not that it wasn't remarkable prior to the WTC crap, but, so rarely do you find solace when it's truly needed, and I have to say, we're one hell of a mailing list. I do have a strange and abiding love for you all. A heartfelt *thanks*, followed by a sigh. Cornflake Girl - woman! You did well! I wish I had a picture of you onstage, you lucky girl. Alas, I don't. Good work nonetheless. The shows were brilliant, of course. Absolutely. I won't go on about it. But, I'm very very happy. Well. Back to studying. Just a little missive to the masses. And John, I can't remember that book you suggested, something about . . . well, I can't remember, can I? It was right after Foucault. If you can remember, let me know offlist. Much Sini-Love, S. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
