    Which sounds good, but you can't beat the front row. Be weird to be at a PJ show and be so far back (even though Astoria's hardly a stadium)

    you'll not be so far back anyway... its about 9 people deep... the balcony overhangs those people and if you get to the front left or front right corners of the balcony you could blow on Stone's cowboy hat..

    i dont give a fucking toss where i end up... it'll be close enough, loud enough and stiffy inducingly exciting enough for I regardless of position...

    at 31 years of age i really shouldnt be this excited...... but i feel like i'm 16 again.... reminding me of the time saucy Tracy McKay from down the road invited me to her house as her parents were away and she said she "might be scared on her own" ;););)
    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.

    Hahaha, i'm loving the name bit, from across the bar...

    "Dunkman1974 and Chumfatty, what you drinking" Hahaha

    Well, my name is Fraser and i'll be wearing a David Hasselhoff t-shirt (possibly) and a kilt. Cannae miss me, i'm the mad one.

    Pinon, absolutely no concerns that you're a girl http://forums.pearljam.com/images/icons/icon12.gif I know you norwegians girls and i wouldn't challenge you to a drinking competition that's for sure. What's that norwegian liqour that looks like whisky and has a sort of aniseed taste? I was gubbed after that.

    Good to see the list growing!

    My flight gets into Heathrow at the ungodly time of 8:25am (probably earlier - leaving Dublin 6:50). I'll be heading to my brother's before going into London, but I reckon I'll be around for about noonish.

    damn. airports should be outside of national time constraints. nobody in airports really knows what time it is anyway, cos they're all jetlagged. so... it's no particular time in airports and the bars are always open.

    though a lot of people would probably miss their flights... ho hum

    looks good but i think the consesus is to meet at the Royal george... of course a move could be on if the pub isnt up to much ... but the RG is off a side street and has tables chairs etc outside..

    plus its close and with people arriving at different times we better not start moving pubs until we think everyones there..

    is everyone ok with the Royal George? If ScotInAm puts in the first post then so be it named... and from this moment forth its place in the annals of PJ history is assured :)

    I'm in around 11:30 at stansted, i'll get the train/bus into the centre.

    Does anyone know roughly how long it takes to get from Stansted to the centre?

    Good to see a turnout from some of our Celtic cousins, it'll be good craic.
