hello there to everyone at sinister, i am trying as best as a can to report back from the apollo in manchester. The picnic consisted of 5 people sat outside a pub eating all of amy's dairylea. well no, there was a bit more to it than that... we met up at piccadilly just after 1 ish then proceeded into chorlton. we found a nice pub called the horse and jockey, and sat on the green on the front of it. the sinister gang was, nafees, amy, fiona and a bloke called anthony who came to join us... and of course myself. a few rather amusing sequences of events happened hereafter. for some reason, amy thought that we could be feeding several orphanages, as she brought more food than we could eat. amongst this food included: 1 french stick, 1 LARGE pot of dairylea, 1 LARGE bag of grapes, and 1 whole chicken!!! it might not seem like that much, but this chicken was HUGE! after munching through this feast we made our way to the dry bar in manchester. Here we met up with BIG stu, and according to amy, hes got a lot to fill!? also we met the ever so violent kay, shes lovely really...just dont go near her head or mention her ex-boyfriend, its not a pretty sight. so after being violently abused by kay, we went to the apollo. on the bus we met a very strange woman, and as the phrase 'she said, eating a chicken' was being used a fair bit, she started telling us a very good recipe for chicken soup, she said, and i qoute ' you wanna get yer chicken in a pan and then add yer carrots, then get yer flour and dumplings out....mmmmmmmmm'it was ratherv amusing, we also saw a jesus look a like on the bus that was actually a vibrator in disguise (as everytime it braked, we got a deafening noise and really strong vibrations through our seats! we missed the support band, but we were'nt really that fussed. and kay fought a way through the crowds to get us pretty darn close to the front. i did try to get a setlist for you, but unfortunatly, was unable. but i can remember some songs that were played. seeing other people me and the major im waking up to us the boy with the arab strap legal man (mixed with i am the resurection) we rule the school dirty dream number two is it wicked not to care string bean jean sleep the clock around like dylan in the movies suspicious minds (elvis) i cant really remember anymore... but it was a brilliant night, and my first B&S gig, so i was well impressed. so thanks to fiona for organising the picnic, it was fun. thanks to nafees amy kay anthony matt big stu for all making it such a good night. im looking forward to the next one!!! will xxxx _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
