So pre- Astoria gig anyone fancy a FB.NET type meet in the Angel at St. Giles Circus (its just down a side road from the Astoria charing cross road area, is cheap and stocks 2 types of Guiness!)

Thinking I'll head straight there from work; should be at the bar by 6.30, doing the obligatory FB & The C's T-shirt I reckon...

If I can find it. Generally my navigational skills are piss poor; however, when it comes to sniffing out pubs....

...where the Ballyhoos and the Tritons are.

What time is the gig going to start? People have been saying EARLY and that is my only concern. I must be in the front! It seems like it would end early too, if people are interested in doing something AFTER.

Um, I don't know. Some of us could stand around outside - but I think we might be cold.

Here is a link to a map of the area

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?X=530000&Y=181500&width=700&height=410&client=public&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&scale=10000&advanced=&multimap.x=274&multimap.y=264
St Giles Circus is literally across Charing Cross Road from the Astoria. To get to the Astoria you should goto Tottenham Court Rd tube station and the Astoria is about 50 yards down Charing Cross Road from the tube station.
The Astoria is a great venue as you do not have to right up the front to get a good view so I would not worry too much about being first in the queue at the door.
Anyhow I think I will try the 2 types of guiness before the show and should be in the Angel at 6:30. If I can get a Frank Black T-shirt at the Brighton gig I will be wearing it.

It's not that I am dying for a good view (although I am glad to know that you can get one from many places inside) it is that I like to be CLOSE TO THE ACTION. I am weird that way.

We'll try and make it - depends on the poxy flights etc. If I get my laundry done from the Dublin gig - I'll be in a light brown FB+C t-shirt (along with trousers, shoes etc, obviously).

I won't be drinking a pint of Guinness unless I bring one over with me with clingfilm over the top of it!

As regards cling film, whatever floats your boat my friend...

As regards drinking I *think* that I shouldn't be too hard to spot since I'm guessing there aren't too many women in the vacinity sporting SMYT t-shirts - the drink was just a bonus pointer...

Good to have seen you all. You did have to pick the only pub with unpronounceable beers!
Cheers all!

I think yours was 'Ayenbrew'! (The German version of the Scottish classic).

Mine was 'Pantz' (The German version of Badger Bitter).

Leah's was Bisto Stout - one lump ot two?
