    Yeah i got tickets.. :D To be picked up from the astoria
    I've been begging my teacher till the very last moment.if I was denied today i was to refund the tickets tonight. I guess keeping hopes up till the very last moment is rewarding. I just ordered a bus trip, wich is cheapest. I'll be arriving in london 6 in the morning tomorrow. guess that'll be early enough right? That should be time enough to find that pub, and be in a total delirium before enyone arrives i think.

    I don't suppose you have a spare going, i would be so indebted...

    Ahhhh haaahhh!! Puzzled look on my face has now evaporated. 6am should be early enough. But pubs don't open till 12pm - 11am if your lucky. You can always feed the pigeons for a few hours.

    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.

    My guess is they'll be on at about 7:30pm.

    My boss is gonna be so glad once the gig is over as I've done NOTHING for the past week except spout gibberish on this here forum. (Good employee!)

    Definitely. Just sneak on out the back door - ask Mike if he minds letting come and watch the sound check, invite the boys into my work bar for a beer and just relax waiting the concert (where i'll get to stand up the front on the rail)

    I wish I could. I asked my MD if I could host a pre-pearl jam concert 10C party in our bar, but she said no.

    The Royal George get together will be good enough. I'll probable sneak out about 4.30 to come and get a beer.

    then your MD is a bitch.... why is she MD???? MD's look to expand business.... makes great sense to turn away 60 paying customers...

    more fool her... The George will receive our 3 coca-cola orders instead ;)

    She's alright, but more of a Kasabian fan than a Pearl Jammer!!!

    If the line stretches back around past my front door, then I'll hand out a few free beers in return for a spot in the line!
