    the rock music will be provided by Pearl Jam on the monday night wont it? so lets find a suitable place that holds all of us and sells beer... any ideas Surfy?

    i'm ok with anywhere that has rock music... and ok i might be getting old... but not too loud... i havent met some of these cats for a couple o' years and wouldnt mind talking with them rather than shouting over the top of 108Db of Motley fucking Crue!! ;);)


    There is a massive wetherspoons close by, cheap beer and will easily fit us all in.

    Could be a possibility.

    Wetherspoons is good...

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

    a Wetherspoons bar in Deansgate

    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.

    What is the easiest way to get from Manchester to London and what day should I book (whatever transport) for? After the gig or the day after... help is appreciated!

    Cheapest will be coach http://www.megabus.com or http://www.nationalexpress.com and they will have ones you can get after the gig.

    If you fancy a lie in then train the next day will be quicker. I would expect the cheap tickets to go on sale in about a month (usually is about 12 weeks before date of travel) keep an eye on here for when tickets become available http://www.virgintrains.co.uk/buy_ticke ... fault.aspx and if you catch them as soon as they go on sale should cost £10-£15

    We might be doing just that... I'm not keen on the idea of coaches :?

    thats what i couldnt get about the South... nothing was open after say 1am and if you knew of a place that would maybe stay open and then you had to trek around to find it... which is quite hard once pissed.

    this is gonna be great! :D

    Don't book buses just yet...there might be a big bus for all of us.

    Also, is everyone staying at the travelodge? I'd prefer to book a hotel where most people are staying.
    2006 ░▒▓ Astoria, Dublin, Leeds, Reading, Lisbon, Paris, Verona, Athens
    2007 ░▒▓ London, Dusseldorf, Copenhagen, Nijmegen
    2009 ░▒▓ Manchester, London
    2010 ░▒▓ Hyde Park

    *§* Music is all the juice i'll need *§*

    Potential mini-Midlands-meet Friday/Saturday... Manchester Travelodge on Sunday night... back to the midlands post-gig on Monday, and then down to London Tuesday morning... was going by car, but debating mini-bus rental... what's this big bus malarky?

    [edit] as it stands we may have room for others wishing to join us... [/edit]
    ...London Doesn't Call Anymore... (rip joe)

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

    I think it involves no sleep ... bus straight from Arena to Arena ... so arriving early hous at the O2. I'm too old for that kind of malarky :oops:
