Klara: Då får väl jag visa vägen då...

I take it that's a no then!!

well me n' bev have sorted rooms, were at battersea travelodge, 1.4 miles from the hammy, walking distance and it was well cheap too, and I get a huuuuge bed to myself, sweet!!!!

I know - I'm really bummed to be missing it. I just can't afford it, or the time away from work on the Monday.

Still, I am indeed Voxgating it in Oxford and Bristol (I think it'll be The Hatchet pub again, at the latter). Wouldn't miss it!

Not been to London in years, probably get lost in the Underground

You'll be ok, it's easy enough to master, just look in the back of a pocket diary you'll see the tube map printed, you can plan your route now!!!

Or indeed online .

Sorry to hear Cerise, I would of liked to of met you, I might get to the Bristol one, we shall see, boy ive got some saving up to do

LL

Shame I won't get to see you Cerise; have a lovely time at Oxford and Bristol.

Förfest innan förfesten!
Let´s meet up in Paddington station (my last memory of London city last time was a little pub next to the trains... haha!) :rolleyes:
I´m sure Snashy comes by too... :p

Delighted to hear you might be getting over Lucy for the tour - thats dedication for ya - your turn for jetlag though

Where's this? Close to the venue, I assume.

It's pretty close, and nice, and not overrun by Hammy Odeon punters on gig nights (apart from when Ultravox are playing) unlike most places that really are near the Odeon. Other useful thing to note for those doing Oxford and Hammersmith that weekend, is that the Oxford Tube (bus service Oxford to Victoria approx every 15 minutes, takes about an hour and a quarter Oxford city centre to Shep Bush) has a stop at Shepherds Bush, and The Grove Bar (http://www.groverestaurants.co.uk/) is a neat stopping point en route if you walk down from the bus stop. The Oxford Tube busstop is also conveniently located for the wonderful Westfield Shopping Centre (http://uk.westfield.com/london/) for those who fancy a stroll round the shops before heading down to the gig... NB I have no commercial interests in either establishment or the Oxf Tube Company, I just happen to like them

Thanx, Pip!

And because we're (EV) nice people and wanted to warn The Grove well in advance, it has the added benefit that they already know we're coming...

Well said Mr Hitchcock

Nice One Mr H

I'm not - I'm a nasty piece of work and I fully intend vandalising the pub as soon as I get there.

Oh, what a giveaway....

I'll be at the Grove - I went to the Bournemouth gig this year and met nobody so need to make amends! Going on my own since friends etc. don't get Ultravox

Pete, good to know there are other South Coast fans and many thanks for the Travelodge link - that's saved me money I can now spend at the Grove!

Might???? nope, I am going to the Hammy O one for definate, the Bristol one is a might

LL

I'm so glad your coming over Lucy, you'll have a great time and amongst good friends

Thank you syncopation especially looking forward to meeting you, and the folk who are genuinley happy Im coming

April April, please come quickly!!!

LL

There's a good chance I'll possibly be coming that way if I go via Baker Street like this year!!

Yeh Pete's idea of EV anarchy is getting a strop on when they put a slice of lemon in his coke & he lobs it in an empty glass!!

Definitely going to the gig, will try and make it to the pub too, 1 aged parent willing.

People planning on staying at the Fulham Travelodge - bear in mind that while its a little way from the Apollo, its even further from The Grove - which is about 15/20 mins walk from the Apollo in the other direction (ie vaguely north).

As well as the pre gig meetup, we went back to the Grove for drinks AFTER the gig in April but it seemed quite a few afterwards were in the Novotel round the corner from the gig. Novotel for me this time around - not so far to walk after the gig and the bar was open later!

A minicab sounds like a good idea then! Thanks for the advice though, I only paid £19 (plus £1 insurance!!!!) for the room so don't mind forking out a little for transport.

Looks like loads of us are going to this one, should be a crackin' afternoon/night out, looking forward to meeting everyone again, and those I've only chatted to on here and Facebook!!

Re: Klara.

En förfest till förfesten är på... vi är iaf två som kommer, dvs brorsan och jag...plus du och Snashy...

Re: Teitch

... And Fredrik.
I think 2 from Gothenburg will join us too.

We'll be there Llais...drop me an email and I'll give you my mobile number so that we can share the expense.

I live in Lincolnshire, Phil...everything's a long way away from everything, mate!

Everything would be a long way from everything if there was actually anything here!

Nice one chaps, another big voxgate

The guys at The Grove are really decent people.
A decent pint
The grubs nice too

They were great in allowing us to store our gear in there overnight

Are you playing there again Sleepy?

Yeeah! We want Monument again!

Sleepy: warm up at the Grove and then we are waiting for you to play in Stockholm too!
What a great idea! No, that is a brilliant idea!!

Precisely...especially ower yonder down Spilsby. Anyway, Pete, you're not native!!

Nah he's naieve!!

Much like your spelling.....

True, but I've breathed the air so there's no going back!

Aye...the spoons!

KLara,

We'd love to play again, but not this time round I'm afraid

Stockholm...hmmm, now there's an idea eh! We wish

It's fresh tis true...

Indeed, Looking forward meeting you JOJO
