I have finally given up lurking and decided to express myself. Strange, after only a seemingly short while (2 months) of hardly being able to read my digest; I find so many new kids (curious new folk) in town. There's probably an even larger number in "Lurksville". The population of the girly persuasion seems to be a bit on the up and up also (and of the more interesting sort). That is healthy though, us Sinister boys like to have you more intriguing Sinister girls around for a crush or two. It's only natutal now, ain't it? What is chiefly on my mind is the fact that trying to organize a pickernick, meet-up, whatever, is becoming very difficult here in L.A. I could only hope for kind of support and interest in them that you folks have over the pond have on such a regular basis. I guess it is partly due to the number of fans (or should I say lack of fans) available to get together in the first place. I have met a few here and there, but realistically speaking, we couldn't be any further from prime B&S fan territory than here (don't get anal now and tell me Antarctica or something smart-arsed). I truly envy you kids in London with your oh-so-frequent meet-ups. I love the community spirit and fan solidarity and could use some over this way. I hate thinking that I am a lone Sinisterine so far detached from my home and loved ones (sniffle, sob, sigh). There are some damn snobby pop kids over here anyway!!! Maybe I am just getting bitter. I hope I find you all doing well, cheers, xoxoxo frankie - member of the Young Peoples Socialist League. http://votesocialist.org "I'm only going to ask once,.....................who wants a hug!!" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
