right guys.
i will be in wolves a bit late by the looks (i have to try and see my doctor again tomorrow, sigh). but, matt deffo drop me a text when you're in and hopefully i wont be far behind.
stuckbetween, that was just ONE suggestion. i don't know wolves that well and it was just one place i liked the look of. deffo come and say hi. i'll be excited and stupid with 193 on my back, possibly making lots of high-pitched noises.
10th show.
bring it ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhn!!!

I'm now meeting an old school friend for a drink in the Wetherspoons before the show (he's not coming - he likes soul vibes, man) but I've got yours and matt's numbers written down so I'll keep my beady eye open! I will make my way down between 8.30 and 9pm which is hopefully not cutting it too fine.

I went to the Birmingham show, then Nottingham Rescue Rooms (got a friend in Nottingham who came to the show) which was terrible for me 'cos the venue was absolutely packed - we got to the show late and were rooted to the spot as we could hardly move. Finally the Sugarmill at Stoke which was great as there was no barrier between the stage and the crowd!

The Birmingham show was ace (sorry!). The crowd were a good mix of curious folk who had just got into the band thru BAGIA. It was wierd 'tho because I drove there from Telford - unusually opting to stay alcohol free - and the show finished at 10pm - and that was with three bands playing. With a clear motorway I put the key in my door at 10.45! Ridiculously early for a gig.

alright, so firstly I ho no idea how I got this screen name since it was supposed to be RachelLostinUK. Which is what I am - lostin the UK. I'm from the states and I was in london and I decided to come up and see THS tonight, so now I'm in Birmingham only I cannot figure out how to get back to Birmingham from the concert should it go past 11... and there didn't seem to be any hostels in wolverhampton... help!
How do you plan on getting back to Birmingham? How should I plan to get back? Why do I constantly take trains massive distances without any foresight?

How do you plan on getting back to Birmingham? How should I plan to get back? Why do I constantly take trains massive distances without any foresight? Try the Metro - the last one is 11:30, so a bit later than the last train. The station's about a 5 or 10 minute brisk walk from the venue. www.travelmetro.co.uk/times/wbmf.aspThey finished up at 11 in Pompey last night. You should be okay. Cheap accomodation should you miss everything would be The Britannia Hotel, which you'll see on your way from the train station to the venue. Rooms go for about £30 a night. Or there are loads of B&Bs on the Tettenhall Road which is a short taxi journey from there, like The Westwood hotel where the rooms were about £25 per person with brekkie, or at least they were a few years ago. |

Excelent! So do i hear this right that there is a pregame at the Royal London? I'm In Birmingham now and thinking to hop on the train soon if people are wanting to meet up - of course you might already be met up!
I wish I had my shirt, I'm number 415, but Instead I'll be dressed like the backpacker I am, jeans and a black shirt, which is what i wear every day, every day for the last four months, every day for the next three.
Thanks so much Im way looking forward to seeing you there!
Rachel

Just got home from work to prepare for the gig and its bl00dy freezing. Will be in a wolly hat & scarf at this rate - HS shirt buried under several layers! Will look out for y'all in the pub(s).
The rail timetables have just changed over. If I miss the 22:41 Shrewsbury train the next one's at midnight!

GOOD MORNING! I feel surprisingly awake considering I drunk more than I normally do pre-gig and that I moshed more than I have ever moshed in a long time!
Good show? I enjoyed it anyway although the sound could have been louder but I guess that's more to do with local regs than anything.
Great set list from what I can remember. I loved 'Slapped Actress' live. Quality.
Here's to the next show..........

My inebriated mate texted me some fairly incomprehensible gibberish at about 11:30 last night, indicating he'd had a good time!
