    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.

    Yup, I'm arrivin early afternoon on the 29th. Goin back on Monday. I presume drinks will happen the saturday night, but I'll still have all sunday to wander. Last time all I saw was the pub and Wembley arena :p So it'd be great to see more.

    12 bar club

    I'd say the 12 Bar is a dead no... even though I know one of the guys who used to run it... it's absolutely TINY - I played a gig there once when the band was still going and the guitarists had to share one cab, and the drummer had to make do with a two piece and one cymbal... couldn't swing a cat in that place!
    ...London Doesn't Call Anymore... (rip joe)

    Yes, I have been to some Pearl Jam concerts. Several of them.

    I think that looks a good choice too. I'll investigate where it is. But then, it all depends on what everyone else wants to do and where everyone is staying...

    Thanks :) a pub crawl sounds like a brilliant idea... but it's a problem when there's a group of people cos bouncers can be fussy :mad: best to find some place in advance that will do for the night.
