    Personally, I don't wanna be drinking on Wednesday and wake hungover Thursday. I wanna have my sh1t together for Thursday evening. By the way, does anyone know if we are allowed to take digital cameras in??

    No cameras allowed - I phoned when I got tickets - don't want to risk taking mine incase it gets confiscated (has happened before!!!)

    That's a shame, 'cos the quality of my mobile camera's a bit crap. I might take the risk. I do remember years ago - 1991 - seeing Nine Inch Nails at the Astoria and a bouncer nicked a half bottle of whisky I was sneaking in. The bastard!

    Hey!

    I'm around (as I live in London) and was chatting to some of the other guys about a wednesday night drink...

    ... there's nothing set in stone yet - I don't mind organising something though!

    Keith

    i'll be arriving on wednesday, too...
    don't know yet what our plans are for that night but keep me informed as well...

    Some days you wake up and sit on a park bench next to an eighty year old Russian architect, and some days you don't. I think this is my new life philosophy.

    Whoops, sent that one twice. Thought it hadn't gone. So any idea of how many of us peeps are gonna be taking over The George on Thursday?

    i thought everyone knew it was The George anytime after 2pm... have things changed? :confused:

    Nothings changed! Some people still keep asking what is happening... but I meant this primarily for people leaving their numbers as some folk are worried about not finding everyone else!

    Hope that makes sense :|

    yeah...i just didnt want to read loads of pages to find out of things were different/the same/etc.. sorry :o

    i'm coming on my own anyway so i'm looking for my comrades in kilts...shouldnt be too hard to spot the lads :);)
    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.

    I can't believe it's been so long since I was last at The Astoria. God the thought almost makes me feel old. I think the last band I saw there was Fields Of The Nephilim in 1992. I saw Nine Inch Nails, Janes Addiction, Alien Sex Fiend - Oooooh Yeaaah! - and a bunch of others there back yonder in those golden - whoops I meant Goth - days. Any other 35 year olds going Thursday??

    I think you'll find a hell of an age range going on Thursday - kid sister being the youngest at 16 (I think). I'd hate to think I would be the oldest!
