    Oh oh oh!!! what are people's thoughts on pre-party pin badges?

    I heard that this was done before Wembley... maybe i'm imagining it...

    Have asked about these in the Dublin thread (and offered money towards the cause :P)

    Dunk organised them for Dublin and Scratchin' a Letter organised them for Wembley.

    Was this the website we used Dunkington??

    i did the Astoria ones as well... well i made up the logo and PIn got them made...

    yep, thats the website..

    That's the site i was just looking at... so are we up for this? :D

    How did you do it before? Sell them and proceeds to charity or just give them out?
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Bring it! :twisted:

    I'm actually amazed the train is only 2 hours. It takes 2 and half to get from Dublin to Belfast, and its about half the distance.
    This is me:

    a wee bit... wouldnt be bothered if my wife was with me, or a mate... but if i'm on me todd i'd rather travel down with other like-minded idiots. 8-)

    he did let me cancel because i'd phoned up on the day, or so he said... i've to post back my tickets and i'll get a full refund... which was cool!

    Al! If the weathers like this on day of gig, I recommend we all invade Shambles square just behind the arena...three or four pubs with a largish outdoor boozing area...if not then the witherspoons on deansgate where the night before people are meeting should be fine...
