17/12/11 - National Treasures Gig

Right, travelling by cab is def not an option too broke for that

How much would taxis be? I think anyone going would need to get organised.

The pre-show meetup suits me pretty well, might struggle to attend the aftershow, even though I would love to go but I'm staying at a Travelodge in the Docklands area, like a lot of people here, I am guessing!

I'm arriving into London Euston from Birmingham at around 1:30pm so I suppose instead of checking into my hotel, I can travel to Hammersmith for the meetup and then go to my hotel after I'm done to check-in and get ready for the gig!

How many here are going to the pre-show and/or aftershow? If anyone's staying at the same hotel or in the same area we could probably chip in for a taxi if you are up for that?

Could be a good reason to start a new thread for this?

I still don't know if I'll be there or not, but I second that.

Hmm, Hammersmith, that's a fair way from my crib, not so sure about that, I shall make as much effort as I can though. Me and the Manics and Hammersmith have history.

[Takk]

Seems like it would make a bit more sense to have some kind of pub meetup close to the O2. At least I expect that's what we'll be doing. Hammersmith is a way.

I actually have a question regarding this. Why is there the need to ''book'' a place? Why can't we just go to the nearest pub? Is there somekind of law against it? Will it be closing time?

Pubs stop serving at 11 thats probably why he has had to book a room

Well I was meaning beforehand, I guess afterwards it will be more like a club night....with music and stuff. pubs would be busy and crowded.

Oh. I thought they stopped serving food at 11, not drinks as well

The reason I've booked the place for the afternoon & night is because I'll be DJ'ing both times! I've done 30+ manics club nights as Manic Street Mania since 1999

Reason for location: nowhere else would let us have their venue between 2pm-6pm in the afternoon & after the gig until last orders with free entry. I would have had to have paid a deposit of up to £4000 elsewhere (average £1000)

I've got to take my own CD players/mixer too, all the way from Manchester.

Gonna be worth it though..

[Takk]

I think it should be cool after, but it's a fair way if you are staying next to the venue or close to the venue!

When is last orders? If the O2 show doesn't finish till 11, I doubt you'd make it to hammersmith for last orders?

To clarify, between 2pm and 6pm and after the gig till closing tome I will be DJ'ing and playing ONLY Manics tunes & related (Clash, SFA,Mansun,etc.etc.)

So it's not just a meet up, it's a manics clubnight thing (which I thought was obvious!!)
