Sinister: It's already Thursday, and soon it'll be Friday night
Sorry I've been away, boys and girls, but I'm currently on the run. You might remember that last time I was here, I threatened to spill the beans on the mysterious cabal that is Sha La La. I shoulda known they wouldn't let me get away with it.... When I got home that night I was horrified to discover the severed head of a My Little Pony in my bed. The next day I received a threatening letter, composed with individual letters cut out of old copies of Bunty magazine. And then the men in the black anoraks started appearing... So I'll make this quick. As Mr Miller helpfully informed you the other day, this Friday at 7.30pm is the Sinister Xmas party at the Poetry Cafe on Betterton Street in Covent Garden, London. Everyone is welcome. It's gonna be a fiver to get in, which is a bit more than usual, but there will be plentiful food provided. Contrary to Petula Pumpkin-Wumpkin's suggestion, this will not consist of beans on toast, but will be a grand affair arranged by my friend Edward the Italian Chef. As if this wasn't enticing enough, I can reveal that we will have a guest of honour.... The other day I received a message from a certain student of Bangor University, confirming that he would attend. Yes, Richard North himself will there. The very thought of the young knight Northy finally meeting his Jedi Master, Tag, gets me all a-quiver. It will surely match the moment Keith met Roddddd at Shepherd's Bush for poignancy. For full details see the noticeboard on the jeepster page or email me privately. Avanti!

or, for those in the sleepy sticks that make up the south west of england beyond bristol, you could do better that pop along to the Glitch extravaganza down at the Jolly Porter pub in Exeter. Everyone is welcome if you can fit into the basement room, and best of all it DOESN'T cost a fiver to get in. Mind you we don't promise anything but a rather fine sample from the Wizard of Oz being fed into the mix at some opportune moment in the evening by the Duke of Haringay. I expect much beer will be consumed. We cannot compete with the Social repertoire of list celebs, although with luck mr adrian evans will show himself, and Jon 'the lovin' spoonful' wren will be around, as will the Duke and Duchess, natch. Anyone else, come down and say hi or alternatively call me a twat, it's up to you. I am not firing the ETster, despite his similarity to Tim P!O!O!kins. he is too good at brown-nosing, and he's giving me lessons. Besides, i love the way he pisses people off so much. i dream of one day being able to piss that many people off so gracefully. i gave my first public reading tonight, and people laughed in the right places. i was amazed. i read them my new B&S 'review' and everyone looked confused, so it was a complete success. The poets didn't know what to make of it all and kept asking, what does P!O!O! actually MEAN. I just said it means i sell twice as many books as you :-) John, wasn't it you who said that MAnchester Waterstones was sold out? I hope you made them order more... and it wasn't your sister i called a boot was it? oh well i'm off to write for a job near barcelona... anything to get nearer to that Miller man. keep the faith, the duke ------------------------------------------ 'all of our dreams are dying of overdoses' ------------------------------------------ Tangents On-Line http://www.tangents.co.uk PO Box 102, Exeter, EX2 4YL, UK tangent@lineone.net ------------------------------------------ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
