hello. Two posts in quick succession - this is getting a bit eager... Anyway, I was just going to write some assinine ramble about Swells, but I'll do that after I've got "content" out of the way. CarsmileSteve wrote:

I also have the friday of !R!A!H! off, wasn't that Sam Walton meant to be organising something for the afternoon? Indeed, indeed. Back in May I volunteered to be picnic mummy for a pre-gig gathering on 29th. So here are the details:

I reckon it's best if we meet by the Albert Memorial at 2pm. That way we can drink/play footie (my leg is okay-ish now) and generally be twee, before storming the RAH on the very second that the doors open. For those people who don't know what the Albert Memorial is, it's a 100ft high gold statue of Prince Albert and it's totally impossible not to notice. It's slap bang opposite the RAH too, as this handy map demonstrates: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=526569&Y=179893&arrow=N&zoom=1 Lovely. So yeah, normal picnic rules apply. I'll be the tall lanky one with a twisted nerve badge on his jacket, hopefully standing next to a smaller girl, also with a twisted nerve badge and a clash badge on her jacket. 29th June. 2pm. Miss it, miss out. Anyone in any doubt, send me an email (samwaltonyeah@hotmail.com), and I'll have my mobile with me (078-6684-1757) on the day. Perhaps we could invite Swells. I have a theory about Swells. I reckon that he's kept in a gimp cellar in a dungeon underneath the NME offices, only allowed out when a B&S record is released, so that he can slate it. What else has he written about in the last year? I like him though. He makes me laugh. ArtsyDeco said:

Sam walton (yeah) I believe mentioned that we hadn't heard anything from Peter Carter in a while. That is because I have been keeping him busy. Rarr! Well it's good to see that Peter's gardening skills are being put to good use. I hear that Kara's back yard was in a real mess, and only someone with Carter's green fingers could handle it. But it's good to see that the horticulture is still keeping him busy.

I've decided, after about a month of pondering, that I really love the new Air record, even if it does sound a little bit like Pink Floyd, although PF are alright too. That's all. See you all on the 29th, love S.x _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
