Why did I see this coming? Sigh.

Not only will _I_ be in attendance, but half the denizens of the Pgh Goth 
List will be there, too. Interestingly, half the messages there right now are 
entitled, "Sisters of Mercy," so when I open my mailbox, I have no idea 
what's come from which list. It's okay-- I'm adjusting. I'm used to the 
curious synchronicity between these two.

Yes, yes, I've been told they do indeed sound more Ministerial these days 
than anything else. However, I've yet to get a straight answer as to whether 
they're still together, or broken up since 1996. Silly rabbit. They did 
indeed begin as a Sisters clone by their own admission (Come on-- the Sisters 
had "Lucretia, My Reflection" and "Marian" and RS had "Marian, My 
Bitterness."), but ditched that like...umm...Unca Andy casting off his Goth 
roots. Er...no, wait-- that's another bad joke.....


Never mind.
