Anyone else make it onto the free guest-list then...?

No Gothos after all I'm afraid, they'll be playing the Weekender next year instead. They have got a gig somewhere in London in mid October though, I'll see if I can dig out any details for it.

So, who's going? Despite the tragic absence of Squire of Gothos, it looks damn fine.
I'm flying over from Switzerland especially for it* so it would be wicked to meet a bunch of people form the internet

*this may or may not be strictly true, but it certainly makes it sound like it'd be worth meeting up beforehand, no?

Ey lad, if your back in london when this is on any danger me and rich could come down yours for it? You know it makes sense

If spiralx can work his magic, me! With any luck! I (mostly) like meeting people from the internetz

How about a meet up here first? There's a fairly big courtyard if the weather is ok: http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/43/434/George/London_Bridge

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Planning on getting there early (8:30pm) just to make sure of entrance - I'm taking no chances!

What time you thinking for the pub...?

Aww, The George
Last time I was there I was about to go to the execrable Planet Angel for a friend's birthday. That must be nearly 5 years ago.
Cool, well that soudns like a bit of a plan. 8.30/9 sounds doable to me...

 

[pootle]

We all used to meet to go to Planet Angel there too!

Like I said, need to find out whether I've been sneaked onto the guest list.

Are people talking about meeting at the George for 8.30/9pm or joining the queue at 8.30/9pm?

 

[perplexis]

Good heavens, queuing at 8.30 would be nuts. 10 at the earliest I reckon... But it's hard to know. I guess if it fills up early on then there won't be that vibeless feel at the beginning anyway...

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Doors open at 10pm, guestlist only guarantees entry until 11pm - pre-10pm queuing is advisable in my estimations!

Oh balls. Who will queue for me?
I want to maximise the time I get to drink ale (not solely because I am a pisshead but because I am fed up with drinking the bland-as-fuck lager here)!
Hmm. You're probably right though. Maybe some street-drinking is called for.

 

[The_Reverend_M]

I may've been getting a tad excited when I said 8:30pm ... 9pm should probably do the job

Street drinking ahoy!

Alright... sounds like a wise plan.

What a wickeda night
Much preferred The Arches to Electrowerkz as a venue, hope they do more nights here.
