DON'T TRY TO SAY TO ME THAT THIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE...

Alright, Eastern Shore Sinisterites/ines/eens: you might want to sit down 
for this -- we're going to try a Sinister Picnic!  I know, I know -- IT'LL 
NEVER WORK!  But hold off on the verbal flogging -- Apparently, these 
Midatlantic Pinic Attempts have a piss-poor history, but all the more reason 
to try again!  (I am by nature NOT that optimistic, by the way, so typing 
such a sentiment actually made me throw up a bit.  OK, not really.  Ewwww.)

Now that I know there are at least six or seven people interested (and 
that's not counting my fellow lurkers) and the idea hasn't completely 
flatlined yet, I feel courageous (or naive) enough to say, "So Fancypants, 
what weekend is good for you?"  ("Fancypants" being plural and inclusive of 
all who live in the tristate area).  And thusly I have said it.  Anyone 
who's interested in attending what will be the grandest time to be had in 
downtown DC should e-mail me, even those with questions about transportation 
and places to crash if necessity dictates.  Some fabulous list individuals 
have offered their time and presence and planning capabilities (as I have 
none) so it's not to be missed if you're within a reasonable driving 
distance.  Speaking of said individuals, thank you for the response to my 
first post. :)  Every email made me all squishy inside.  Which is a good way 
to stave off scleroderma.  Probably the best way, in fact.

So drop me some concrete suggestions if you so wish.  I'll do the detail 
work, but am very bad at making aesthetic choices, even as it pertains to my 
leisure time.  And might I add that I'm ridiculously joyful at the thought 
of a picnic?  Even if I might NOT add it, there it is.

Also, this is in extreme advance, but Ted Leo's coming back to the Black Cat 
after having to cancel his latest DC show due to throat injury.  September 
10, backstage, 9 PM.  I'll be there, so if anyone else is interested, 
perhaps we could have a mini-meetup there?  Or if anyone else wants to 
suggest shows (sorry I'll miss the Aisler's Set!) for meet-ups, I'm all 
ears.


IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BRILLIANT CAREER

Non-sequitir: It seems to me a good indication of a bad day at work when the 
most heated discussion is about whether or not "awhile" is always one word, 
or if a space can be placed between the A and the W.  Turns out you CAN use 
"a while," but it has to be used as a noun.  And "awhile" must be used as an 
adverb in order to be considered correct.  Also, I hate my job.  Since I 
stupidly graduated and they consequently booted me from college, I've aged 
three psychological years for every one Roman-calendar year.  I'm not liking 
the math.

That being said, I will take my leave.  Mostly because it's time to go home 
from work.  Hopefully, I will hear from some of you soon.  Till then and 
then some --- Kim
