    True that. I suggest you do as i'm doing tonight... sit on the Pit with a bottle of merlot and drown your sorrows, then go to bed and wake up tomorrow with a monster hangover, but safe in the knowledge that Manchester is closer ;)8-)

    Yeah, I got to say Sian, you do seem like a glutton for punishment. I don't know why you would want to do that to yourself? Why on earth would you want to drink Merlot??????? ;)

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I wasn't bothered untill yesterday and now it's driving me mad, I will get over it though.

    I will just sit and watch the video of me getting a hug of Eddie over and over again tonight to make up for it :oops:

    Sorry Dunk, I don't think I quite understand... were you at Astoria or something? :roll:

    I'm the same as you, if Manchester and London weren't happening I would be A LOT more bothered than I am. As it goes, I'm quite looking forward to knowing some of my friends are having a blast while I get texts of the set and post it up for all to read :)

    And go to bed knowing that it's only 6 sleeps 'til our turn :mrgreen:

    I'm not there tonight, but I'm not really that bothered. I'm just ecstatic that I'm going to be at the other shows, and that I'm in the buildings at all. :D

    Oh I need to get a photo of that with my stickman! I meant to do it at NIN :roll:

    I'll also be in shorts/skirt as it's gonna be warm in the gig... I guess i'll just get wet legs moving from pub to arena, arena to pub... nothing that can't dry! :lol:

    Right, for those of us interested in drinkies and meeting fellow PJ freaks... oops, I mean fans ;)

    POST GIG - There's a party occuring at The Walkabout in Quay Street, Manchester. This will involve prize giveaways, Rockaoke, Pearl Jam videos and music. Entry is £2 after 11pm. It's easy to find, just walk straight down Deansgate away from the MEN and Moon Under Water and turn right at Quay Street (opposite Peter Street). :)

    Not wanting to be a party pooper or anything - and youve done a shitload of work and huge effort for the above - but Quay street is a looong trek from the MEN... Not fussed myself as I know the place, and our hotel is off the back of Deansgate - but I know a few peeps are staying at the ancoats travelodge, and up that part of town... ALso - what time does Walkabout shut on a Monday night? I used to work in Sunlight House right opposite there, and not overly sure if it used to be open that late in the week...

    A few (friendly) things...

    I was only told of this today and so updated the thread accordingly.

    I don't know Manchester but i'm sure most of us can walk a wee bit... my hotel is past The Walkabout! :lol:

    They have late entry and closing due to the PJ party.


    But thank you for your advice :D The idea is that people take this info into account and make their own minds up :D I will however be everywhere I've listed 8-)

    Anyone know when the Walkabout closes? I might join people there if I miss the 23:20 train back to Leeds. The next one is at 1:50 in the morning...
