Hello Lovelies, I have to admit, the euphoria's wearing off a bit and I'm starting to have doubts about Bowliefest. Something to do with the generally whiter-than-white, dull, indieboy rock line-up? Er, Maybe. Let's face it, that Belle and Sebastian losers are just a bunch of retro copyists. What we need is an alternative "Bowlie Fringe". Something a bit more spicy. Perhaps a freak show tent? Are there any freaks on the list willing to put themselves forward for the role? There's a guy in Manchester who you can hire for functions, etc. who has a dartboard tattooed on his back. For a suitably large wad of cash people can line-up and throw darts at him. You can even play John Inman's rendition of the "laughing policeman" while you're at it if that's what tickles your fancy. More "nutter" than "freak" I guess, but it's a start. Maybe the "Live TV" people could film an episode of topless darts there. That'd be good. If Tag doesn't get a ticket he'd still see a bit on the telly. Big gay Julian's also got it into his head that he wants to get arrested for indecent exposure. Probably inspired by his run-in with the long arm of the law after masturbating at a coachload of red scum (that's Man United supporters to normal people) on Sunday. Unfortunately the fuzz are trying to stitch him up and claim it was a school party. I'm sure it'll all get sorted out in court. Anyway, we could have an unofficial competition to see who gets arrested the most times for indecent exposure over the weekend. No prizes would be involved, you'd just have to do it for the respect and admiration of your contemporaries and friends. Mrs Warrander John wants a "Meet Peter Miller" marquee and I'm sure that would prove particularly popular with us all. And if we're all going to have to dance til four in the morning for three days running, I hope somebody out there is ensuring there'll be a reasonable supply of, er... never mind. Did somebody say "Brits tonight"? I've got all my fingers crossed. And other bits. That's a side-show in itself. Love...John +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
