    I think an intimate midlands meet up could be arranged but I was under the impression that the big one was on the Sunday before the gig :?

    Bingo!

    Haven't actually sorted out the intimate pre-meet-meet-up (in the midlands) officially - Pip and Cato were debating popping up a night or two before going the Manchester, and it sort of evolved... However, you may reserve your usual sofa space for the Saturday if you so wish?

    Pfft... of course! :roll: :D

    The plans have now been made... there will be many, many good time... 8-)

    Thankles! :mrgreen:
    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.

    For beerage on day of gig, especially if suns shining, can't beat shambles square back of arena-there's the Wellington and sinclairs oyster bar to start with, and a big outdoor drinking area. Next to printworks and Harvey nicks, stones throw from men...happy days !!

    Sinclairs oyster bar has got some decent ales on tap...

    Not sure yet, if there is a car full from Manchester then would prefer that...

    It's only a one way journey too, heading back to Swindon after the O2 :)

    Probably should go ahead and take a booking at that Travelodge for the Sunday night before it's all taken up. No point booking for Monday night, the bus would be going away straight after the show.
    115 bucks for half a haircut by a novice? I want my money back!

    There is a Pearl Jam tribute band playing Manchester Academy 3 may 17th. I've seen them before and they were pretty good. Just a heads up.

    The ancoats travelodge and the central travelodge are right beside each other and really near the venue. Ancoats is cheaper though. If you want the £19 deal you gotta go a few miles further out :(
    they're nowhere near to each other for Man though neither are much further from the venue..and exact same price today...so booked Central which is very slightly closer... £29 for a 3-people room on Sunday (taking the bus after the show for the fun :mrgreen: though might and up going home after we get to London for a few hours sleep)

    Peg... it's less than a mile between them if walking... 15minutes walking at best... so not exactly 'nowhere near to each other'

    i knew what Hitchy meant 8-)
    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.

    if i go to london it'll be the next day for sure... the bus that Einat is organising is £20 and leaves straight after the show... so what would i do once i get to London at 3.00am? whereas the train leaves almost every hour and costs £11 or so... so i'll take the sleep in and save money methinks :)

    Same here, I don't want to get to the O2 that early.

    Going the morning after but not sure if it will be train or coach, depends which is cheaper.

    If Dunk can't take that spot I will! You will be paid with flagons of the finest ale upon our arrival in foggy London town.
