Sinister: FW: Calling London

[robin stout]

Hallo sinipops,

It's leafy and green round here, and the flowers have unfurled and tickle my 
nose in the morning. This particular morning, as I ate breakfast, I found a 
pink pigeon perched on the apple tree outside my window. He looked 
exhausted. His feathers were in disarray and his moustache was drooping. I 
put down the Racing Post and invited him in for a cup of coffee (tea is 
still too much to bear), and he told me his story.

He had flown all the way from Sweden, he said - yes, Sweden! "Well, your 
English is excellent", I said. "Oh, it's only pigeon English", said he. And, 
as his moustache began to perk up he told me he had a letter for all of you. 
"From Simon", he said, "You may remember him, and you should pay attention 
to what he says. He's a very important person. I've flown a long way for 
him, and I'd do it again."

He dropped the leter on the table, and with a quick tip on Brassy Lad in the 
3.30 at Chepstow he hopped, skipped and flew out of the window.

I opened the letter; this is what it said:

>-----------
>The letter.
>Subject: Calling London
>------------

>Hello Sinister! Remember me? I've actually been on the list for quite some 
>time, but the old address with which I once subscribed won't let me send, 
>only receive... so it's been awfully quiet from me I guess, though someone 
>might remember the old Sinister Village site (which actually still exists, 
>but is nowadays hardly visited - maybe it is now a ghost town?) which I 
>made for you. Oh, it's still at http://move.to/sinistervillage, but the 
>message board doesn't work :(
>
>So anywhoo, the point... I know I put it here somewhere... oh yes, I'm 
>leaving Gothenburg, Sweden for London this summer, for two months starting 
>sometime in the middle of June, and it would be really super to hook up 
>with some people. Especially since I don't know anyone in that awfully big 
>city of yours. I would love to just hang out, get to know the city, the 
>clubs, have a few too many beers... oh yeah and make some music maybe, and 
>record some songs, because I'm probably gonna bring the old laptop and some 
>instruments...
>
>Please mail me at simon.aurell at home.se. I'm really friendly and I won't 
>bite.
>
>Hugs everyone,
>Simon
