So, oxford picnic. Hmm, there have been various divers suggestions, but i think on balance the 23 of June has the most going for it for numerous reasons: weekends before and after are GIGS and thus pretty rubbish for random picnics and the weekend after that is the H-YOU-GE radioheed gig and thus oxford will grind to an almighty halt for the duration. The panic, the vomit indeed. More details nearer the time, but the idea is to have it in South Park, mainly because we can then follow the traditional picnic rules and have it at the top of a hill, overlooking the dreaming spires :) Also (what's that noise) on the thursday nite before, ie 21st (I'm sure I can hear something), myself and various other reprobates (it's getting louder) will be hosting our first fantastic (oh my god, it's a GIANT PLUG) !I!N!D!I!E!D!I!S!C!O! So you can arrive from your assorted territories on the thursday evening, have a top nite out, skive off on the friday and sit in the pub with me all day and then we'll have the picnic on the Saturday, is that a plan? What's that you say, i haven't told you enough about our fantastic !I!N!D!I!E!D!I!S!C!O! OK then, just this once, I'll go into detail (and if you believe that...) S&P in association with freakytrigger.co.uk present: !S!U!S!S!E!D! Thursday 21 June 10pm-2am at Club Latino, The Plain, Oxford, £3 to get in, fun and frolics with djs Carsmile, Cabbage and Cockfarmer on the decks. An evening of indie loveliness, including belle & sebastian, hefner, pulp [insert big list of indie bands here, frankly i was doing the poster at like midnite last nite and i'm not sure what i put] y'know, all the stuff you can dance to... see, doesn't that sound exciting, aren't you glad you asked :) The first nite is also the official relaunch party for freaky trigger, the fantastic music website run by the semi-sinister Tom Ewing. Hopefully we'll run every couple of weeks through the summer, if the first one goes OK, and we're on the lookout for guest djs (stoopid dj name not obligatory) if anyone wants to offer their deck skeels... xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
