Been planning my way around and getting back to my hotel afterwards - Ibis Docklands, afterwards. Hilariously, the Transport For London website throws up a 25-minute journey, only 3 minutes of which is actually on any kind of transport, rest is by foot! I think I'll ask the Hotel staff anyway, I don't entirely trust the TFL site anyway, not after the Ash gig last year, where I didn't even use the journeys/buses I looked up...

Should be an awesome night anyway!



There should be a law against that sort of thing. ESPECIALLY the Blackwood show.
Jubilee to Canning Town, DLR to Blackwall, 9 mins. is what i thought was best.

Yes. How dare people from the outside try to learn more about the band. And how very dare they have a drink before coming in?

Not everyone going will be stood there from 6AM plastered in bad makeup and acne.

Leaving my house in half an hour to get the train to London Euston Can't wait! I'll probably pop over to the Hammersmith meetup for a little while since I can't check in until 3pm so if anyone is there, come and say hello - I don't bite (contrary to popular belief...).

CriCri I promise that if you started queuing late afternoon then you would have no problem getting, at the worst, 3rd row. People queuing now will be so hungry, tired, and full of wee that they won't even enjoy it.

Ha, thanks, don't worry. I got there at 8 and I got my place in the queue, but I needed a hot beverage so I went to the nearest cafθ (right outside the o2). That's why I don't know if there's anything going on with the queue.

yes, how dare people go to gigs by bands that aren't their absolute favourite band in the world. Especially a singles gig, which is kind of the eqivalent of buying a bands greatest hits- a rather good way of getting into them, no? CUNTS.
And to your last line.
