    Are you serious? If you really want to, I would be happy with a bottle (just one - don't want to overload you!) of either Fruit Defendu, St. Feuillien or Gouden Carolus. And though I have stuffed my face with chocolate over Easter, a couple of pralines, chocolat noir would be wonderful - only if you have time! I lived in Brussels for MANY years, I still have my parents, sister and friends there!

    Seriously, that's possible! Where can we meet before the gig?
    At 6pm at the front of the royal george?
    I'll have a brown wind-breaker and a t-shirt with "in tartiflette we trust"

    Sweet! I'l be at the George later on this afternoon so I'll see you there. I'll need to collect my tickets but the box office doesn't open until 6;30pm. Are you French or Flemish speaking (or are you English living in Brussels??)

    Word of warning to pre-empt the moans and compalints tomorrow

    If the GAY night is on after, the gig will end at 10:30 regardless of whether YOU want them to play on for longer or not.

    I saw Belle and Sebastian there in 2003 and they were almost dragged off mid song, it is that harsh and rigid. It was like, "Thank you and good night" and the house lights were up before the end of that snetence and we were ushered out. T-Shirt stand closed and lots of angry gay people giving us evils as we left the building.

    I'll be in my Temple of the Dog T-Shirt.

    There will be a G-A-Y night on afterwards...there always is on a Thursday...so the show will be over by 10.30 if not before.

    Not sure to be honest... are there different tickets? I just thought if downstairs was full you'd have to go up.

    I'm at work in the office right behind the astoria. If I bring you a few free beers out at 4.00 and 5.00 will you let me sneak in front of you in the line?

    Nah, there are two diff types of tickets. Usually people just go where they like but if it's a sold-out show, security monitor who goes upstairs and who goes downstairs so there's no overcrowding.
