hi kids. wow. neil told someone whatfor. was harsh, but i know he takes a lot of poop when it comes to the band touring. the man needed a release sometime... but golly, he even said fanny! good thing i only think that means BUTT. i don't mind paying. i wish they could make something off of the tours. i'm so flabbergasted they are coming to DETROIT of all places. amazing. i'm stunned and smitten and oh, so glad. i would've paid lots more (don't get any wise ideas tho, hee hee). sincerely, neil, if you are reading.... whatever made you guys decide on chicago and detroit on nights that ACTUALLY WORK OUT FOR ME let me just say, thank you. wether it be divine intervention or a what the hell shrug that brought them out my way, YAY! i look forward to every moment and plan to jump the stage and make everyone listen to me belch out lazy line painter jane. ok, i won't do that, but i will be having fun. guaranteed. so, yeah. the shows. lots of buzzing about meet-ups and nothing concrete. i've discussed with a few of you the idea of getting ajoining suites in a suitable hotel. i haven't even began investigating what this "suitable" place would be, since, of course it would be ideal to be a walking distance to the venue. but, this is detroit we're talking about. there'll be enough of us around and driving that we could carpool to the venue tho. as far as detroit goes, i'm thinking the howard johnsons. only 'cuz i've been there and know it's decent. i will investigate a bit more tho. trust me. as far as chicago goes, someone else could help give me ideas. so, let's figure where we'll stay, and whoever wants in on this, mail me ASAP and we'll get this ball rolling. if the whole ajoining thing is just too sini-intense for you, but you'd still like to meet everyone, heck, just get your room wherever we're staying and you can come and go as you please. i'm already planning a saturday morning breakfast at the motown international house of pancakes in detroit, then on to chicago from there :) i have a romantic thing for this IHOP since i usually go there with friends the morning after shows. plus, there's nothing better than having marvin gaye and diana ross stare down at your strawberry covered waffles as you try and wake up. so, like i say, if you want in on one or both nights of this frolicking twee insanity, let me know! i'll be the one with the lampshade on my head. i know that while in detroit my friend meghan and maybe one more will be rooming with me, then in chicago my friend david might be rooming with me. other than that, i'm open to sharing space with others of you i'm comfortable with that want to share the funding for the evening. um, i wanted to write and say pretty things, but i'm not up for it tonight. strictly business for now. special "hello"s to shawn and emily. the forecast is good, amyrachelapplejackslongcore p.s. oh yeah, i have a confession. i have no freaking idea what DDR is. enlighten me. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
