Sinister: Where's my 3 day week
If the new stuff comes out in June then why not have a launch picnic?? It would be an unusual way to promote a record and give a chance for wizened hacks to spend time with the band and the fans which would be good for them if not us.
Some would doubtless write about what a joy it was to meet so many disparate individuals brought together by the power of the music. Others would write about what a hopeless bunch of indie-schmindie ne'er-do-wells we all were. But some people will never get it...
That sounds like a cracking idea John, schedule the picnic with the release of the new single. Indeed we could sail on down the Thames and shoot the queen whilst we're at it too, that'd be quite a launch... seriously though, it seems like an appropriate time for it to me, given that it'll be the summer and stuff. Having said that, I'll be at the picnics whatever, single release dates are notoriously changeable and we may need to plan the picnic a bit more in advance.

we could top it of by making a 30ft high clay model of stuart murdoch and the band and send them up and down outside the houses of parliament on a raft whilst we picnic at the bottom and play twister.

1st Picnic will be on May Day, Which for those of you who are lazy is Monday the 4th May. 2nd Picnic will be either 24th May (Sunday) or 7th June (Sunday). I would be grateful if people told me which of the second option is preferable. Other picnics will be organised as we progress into summer. The Picnics will be held on Primrose Hill, and to risk being overly organised, we'll meet at 2pm at Camden Town Tube Station. Fine by everyone? Bring a game, some food, drinks and a sense of ironic humour i think.
Cheers, Keith

I know it's frightfully unfashionable to live in Los Angeles, but are there any Angelenos out there in sinister land? I haven't heard anyone mention the possibility of an LA picnic, so allow me. A picnic in Griffith Park could be fun if El Nino doesn't play one of its childish pranks. We could pretend we're in Rebel Without a Cause. But I guess I'm getting ahead of myself...
