Sinister: Auction Facts and Figures or...

[Stephen Hewitt]

why steve should really get a life.

Did a bit of research last night, and it would appear the auction has
raised £2700, 81 of the 173 lots received bids ranging from £10 to (i
think) £405.  Struan made the most money, his two lots raising over
£600  and Struan also won the most things including badges, a haircut,
clothes patching, a personal thrift store shopper and video editing, for
which he paid ten squid each, obviously a man with an eye for a bargain,
as is our very own list mummy who i think scored three bargains
herself.  No other members of the band seemed to bid for anything,
unless they used elaborate pseudonyms (of course "stuart murdoch" could
be a pseudonym, but i think we can assume that it was the man himself),
although our favourite merchandising person put in a couple of bids.

It was worth noting that the twee poetry lots did very badly, whereas
the going out and getting pissed lots did very well, although this
theory kind of falls apart when you look at how well the
knitting/crocheting lots did, and i can't wait to hear dj pain at the
next tigermilking...

Got the xmas album last night and on first listen it's rather sweet,
although following the world of sadness above, i'd like to point out
that it's stuart, then stevie, then isobel singing, i think.  Still not
as good as my tijuana xmas record though ;)

I'd also like to second mr miller's call for a review of friday nite, i
know people were there, some nutter even drove up from chelmsford for it
apparently...
