Sinister: everything you ever wanted to know about the NYC picnic, but were afraid to ask

[David Hewitt]

G’day all.

Here’s some information for those of you attending the NYC picnic this 
weekend, from our loveliest of hostesses, the completely inimitable Miss 
Julie. She’ll be the cute, clever, well-dressed one; I’ll be the wacky, 
disheveled and disconcerted foreigner. You can be whatever you like. But if 
you’re not there, you’d better have a VERY good excuse. I’ve come all the 
way from Adelaide for this*, and you actually can’t get further from the 
picnic than that, unless you’re some sort of spaceman. I hope you’re all 
well, but mostly I hope you’re all THERE. Yes, Laura, I’m looking at you.

Bulk love,
-Vanilla Flavoured David.

*This may not, in fact, be entirely true. Sue me.

Here’s Julie’s bit, a.k.a. “the important bit”:

Hello all.  Apologies for not posting this sooner, it’s just that May 5 
seemed so far away for so long, but now suddenly it is so close!  Okay, 
there is going to be a PICNIC in Central Park on Sunday, May 5, from noon 
til the time people have to flee to the gig.  For anyone who has been to a 
sinister picnic in New York in the last couple of years, we’ll be having it 
at our usual spot.  This is in the park, behind the Metropolitan Museum of 
Art.  The best way to get there is to take the 6 train to 77th St, walk 
three blocks west to 5th Ave then turn right (north) and walk until you see 
the museum.  Turn left, into the park.  You will pass a playground and a 
statue of bears.  Then you will go under an arch.  You will go straight for 
a little bit along the path, then the picnic will be on the right.  Or, look 
at this map:

It’s polite to bring food or some sort of refreshment to a picnic, and it’s 
nice to share.  It’s also nice to bring your hostess gifts.  Oh okay, you 
don’t have to bring me any gifts, your presence is gift enough my lovelies.  
Anyway, for further information, email me at jules910 at hotmail.com.  To 
anyone who emailed me personally after my last post, I will email you 
shortly.
See you Sunday, kiddies.
Xoxo
Julie
