Yes, that's right all you Great Lakes area Sinister people. The First Ever (to my knowledge) Great Lakes Sinister Picnic is being held tomorrow in South Bend, Indianna!!! So far I know of nearly ten of you that will be there, for any of the others who haven't spoken up, come join us!! I know there are quite a few of you out there, so come out to play, and talk, and quite probably drink. There may be some campgrounds areas still open near South Bend, so bring a sleeping bag if you want to stay over and drink with fellow Sinister peeps! The Instructions (reposted from my earlier post for any who missed them): Directions below provided by a fellow listee: It is called Leeper Park and it is just on the south side of the Saint Joseph river off of Business 31. Take US 31 south and turn right on either Riverside Drive or Park Lane, the first and second rights respectively. At the point where Park Lane deadends into N. Lafayette there is a tennis center and that would be a dandy place to meet up. People could even bring rackets if they fancied a game.

Just to make it clear; we will be meeting up at the tennis center in Leeper Park. Look for me, I'll be driving a blue Achieva and wearing an orange Isobel & Fox B&S shirt. 5'7", short spikey hair and an idiot's grin with black rimmed glasses. See a piccy of me (as well as a few from B&S gigs) at: http://photos.yahoo.com/jgilmer2001 I won't be that hard to recognize. Anyone who wants to bring snacks, food, drink, whatever is welcomed and encourage. Musical instruments are also strongly encouraged (and if I could play it worth a damn I'd bring my 12-string) and anything/anyone else you'd like to bring is more than welcome. Any questions, comments, thoughts, spare change, et al, are more than welcome and appreciated. Drop me a line if you can make it or if you have questions. Hope to see you all there (at least all the Great Lakes people) Jim "Being clever's a fine thing, but sometimes a boy just has to get out and meet girls" - Grant Morrison _________________________________________________________________ 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.
