Is anyone else missing the barrage of reporting backs that kept the list humming happily there while B&S were touring the US? Even if I couldn't go to all of them, it was nice hearing about it. Of course, it was also nice going to the "missed connection" part on Craigs List during the NYC ones and seeing ones like, "Belle & Sebastian show: you were the Asian girl with asymetrical hair. I was the boy with the too tight sweater on. I think we might be soul mates." L-l-l-l-love connection. So my point in writing this is to quickly remind everyone that if you want to particpate in the Sinister Christmas Present Exchange then you need to get your information to me before this Tuesday. Unless you've JUST sent me your information (*waves to Grainne and S Lord*) then you should have already gotten a confirmation e-mail from me. If not, that means that it got lost in the wonders of the modern interweb so please send again. You should be hearing from me before the end of this month as to who you will be giving to. For information on what it is and how to participate please go here: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200311/msg00050.html Right now we have about 40 people signed up to participate and that's just a little shy of enough to help me build my chocolate covered boy brigade so snip snap people! I realize that in the past few days it's been hard to tear your eyes off of Michael Jackson's police booking photo (which as Songles Dave pointed out - looks exactly like the painting "The Scream") which seems to be schlacked everywhere in the media. However, these are the things which we must overcome. Be strong my sinikids, Ll _________________________________________________________________ Has one of the new viruses infected your computer?
