Hello and thanks to everyone I saw (again and for the first time) at the picnics and gigs over the w/end. Needless to say a fab time was had by all, but I'll leave detailed accounts to those with more eloquence and accurate set lists etc. Robster, you'll be pleased to know Fin did make it to the coach in the end, and we did make it back in time for Camera Obscura, despite getting a taxi to the *wrong* place... doh! (btw I did make it back for my train after leaving the gig early - just! I'll be supremely jealous if you all stayed a dancin' with celebs till the wee small hours.) Thanks for the poem, rather nice. I'm glad you sent the parrot on to Ken - he needs something else to sit on his shoulder now he's had all his hair lopped off. I've said this sort of thing before, but dashing through Liverpool St. station on my way home I was greeted by two listees who were stood at RAH with me (sorry names escape me) who were on their way home from Mardi Gras, and then another (I am really bad with names) whom I've met up in Sheffield a few times on her way rather belatedly to the Spitz... all purely by coincidence... *that*'s what I like about Sinister. Someone was asking about the first support act at RAH, "Jonny 7" I think they called themselves. Well, Cabbage and I (and a couple of others) were similarly enticed in by their comedy rendition of Legal Man, and after we managed to drag Cabbage away fom the usher from Barnsley who he was chatting up :), we were stood just a few rows back and we struggled to make out who they were through the comedy wigs and stuck on porn-star moustaches. Cabbaged reckoned the guy on bongos was from V-Twin, but beyond that I'm at a loss. Ah well, best consign (sp?) the weekend to memory and get ready for the reality of work again tomorrow. See y'all again soon.
