Sinister: London Picnic on Sunday!!! :)
Hi everyone, (sorry about my message to the list a minute ago ... david has problems with the shop@jeepster.co.uk address at the moment and i thought i was affected as well ... seems like i'm ok, but please try not to use the "shop" address until tuesday, so he can fix it ... taaaa ... ) anyhow, reason for mailing, is to remind you all of the PICNIC in London this Sunday, 21st June. here's the info off the website http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/sinister.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- LONDON PICNIC SUNDAY 21st June @ 2PM Who's welcome?: We can never stress this enough, simply put everyone is welcome, without exception at all. Transport: We're meeting at 2pm outside Highbury & Islington tube station which is on the Victoria Line and also on the BR line that loops North London (main interchanges are Green Park, Kings Cross, Euston and Finsbury Park). You can also get there by catching a bus, call London Transport on 0181 777 1234 for details of buses. Location: The picnic itself will take place on Highbury Fields behind the 'garage' venue, if you arrive late or don't want to meet us at the tube station you can get to the fields by crossing the main round and walking beside the bank down the small road where you'll see the field area, the field may be obscrured by the childrens swimming pool (amid some bushes), but we'll be on the other side of that under a tree, if the weather is fine we'll be there till dusk. Events/Games: connect 4, twister, croquet, soccer, rounders/baseball, climbing trees and lamp-posts, drinking copious amounts of alcohol, playing on the swings and see saw, listening to music, possibly making a film, silly teenage games like "stuck in the mud", etc. We encourage people to bring along games and activities, especially if loads of people can participate in them. What to bring? well apart from yourself in a fine mood and with a sense of humour we'd recommend a larger item of food for the communal pile (things like pringles & dips, sausage rolls, a salad, quiche, you know the stuff) and some alcohol. At the last picnic our communal pile of food covered a large blanket, it really makes it feel like a feast and adds to the atmosphere. For those that are not travelling too far could you also bring board games, footballs, etc. We'll try to have a stereo (courtesy of Susannah or Trousers), but please don't bring a ton of tapes as we won't have time to play them! If it pishes down? well then you'd find everyone in the pub beside the tube station, you simply come out of the station and turn right and walk into the pub! Updates: On the day you can phone 0181 560 1815 after 11am for updates. It's just an ansaphone, but will let you know of any changes, and if it's raining, it should let you know where we'll be. Problems or questions? then mail david at d.kitchen@virgin.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- We'll see you there! cheers, Katrina. -- ******************************************************************** jeepster recordings ltd. - a-and-r@jeepster.co.uk 217 canalot, 222 kensal road, london, w10 5bn ph - 0181 964 9432, fax - 0181 964 8600 http://www.jeepster.co.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

OK, noone else has written anything yet, so I may as well. The third London picnic took place yesterday afternoon (and evening... and night...). I think we had about 20 people there, in various states of hunger, drunkness and sunburn. Oh yes, and David had his bike with him. It was far too hot to get a game of football going (or anything else for that matter), so we spent most of the afternoon lazing about in some random park in Highbury, talking about music, football and which politicians various people wanted to sleep with (as you do). Dodgiest chat-up line of the day - "You're all mouth and no trousers. I wish." Own up and be ashamed, that man... Oh yes, and David had his new bike with him. About half of us then progressed to a pub next to the station, for conversations about music, football and the politics of Northern Ireland (as you do). In between the fast-food runs, suntan/burn comparing and arm-wrestling, one or two of us may have consumed a small amount of alcohol. One person who shall remain nameless proved suprisingly good at attacking people by 'palette tickling'... Oh yes, and David had by now gone home with his new yellow bike. On the train. At this point, things started getting a bit hazy. Suffice to say that at 4am, half a bottle of vodka later, I found myself on the swings in a children's playground somewhere in East London. Forget singalongs outside a pub in Camden; until you have lied on your back with 5 people you barely know, in a random park somewhere in London, singing B&S songs (and forgetting the words, naturally), at 5 in the morning, watching the sun come up, you have not truly ruled. Thanks again to D&K for organising everything, and to everyone I met for being so goddamn nice. And a big hello to the Irish contingent, hope to see you again sometime soon. Looking forward to the next one already... The suntanned git ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

seeing as we had left by this point, i think there is some more explaining to be done ... Stuart Gardiner wrote:
