  • Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but I've had a PM suggestion of this place for the pre-show in London:

    http://www.theo2.co.uk/inside/bars-rest ... ha-ha.html
    http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/pubsandbars ... 27757.html

    It's in the O2 itself and has generally good reviews... the only trouble is it only holds 250 people and most reviews have said it's normally busy, even on non concert nights. On the plus side, we won't have to tube hop to get to the venue...

    Y'all let me know what you think :D
    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.

  • Right, as people are worried about ticket pick up and queueing, I'm thinking Market Porter for those who want to start drinking early, then hotel check in and ticket pick up (around 3pm dependant on check in times and tenclub ticket release time - plenty of time for queueing if necessary) and then back to the HaHa Bar or alternative pub in le O2?

    The person who suggested this to me has offered to email the HaHa Bar and let them know we're coming if needs be.

    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.

    Piccadilly to Victoria is only about 10mins walk, I guess you have to know the way though.

    No it doesn't. The bus goes to O2 arena. I just get off a bit before so I can go sleep in my own bed.

    Oscar, Columbian/Baaaaahstonian guy in Japan pulled out. So there's one extra seat at the moment.

    Then there must be something lost in translation- I'm flying Berlin Tegel - Heathrow - Manchester, not going by bus from London to Manchester.
