Just wondering if anyone else already had their tickets for the London gig?

(26th May, at the Forum, Kentish Town)

Does anyone fancy a bit of a forum meet-up at the Forum? I'd be up for it, if anyone else is going... I'll be the one in the Giants t-shirt with a pathetic grin on my face, bouncing nearish the front with my mum and little bruv... :rocks:

A TMBG GIG???? :o :rocks: :rocks: :rocks:

Where can I find more info?? NVM - I found it!

:rocks: Egad. You know I shall demand pictures.

I demand pictures, but I demand them even more in the event there is a forum meet up... How grand that would be. Too bad there's a :censored: ocean in my way.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

:rocks: :banana: :rocks: :banana: :rocks: :banana: :rocks: :banana: :rocks: :banana: :rocks: :banana:

Who's coming? :drink:

We'll have to arrange a proper meet-up, Kate's self-description could be virtually any TMBG fan :D


WOW this looks like fun

wow thats even farther then west coast

I believe that both me and JohnW will be there. Possibly also Spy and Gianthead. We must to a UK meetup!

Yay! I went to school quite near the Forum so I'll have to think of a nearby (but not toooooo nearby) pub.

And yeah - we'll have to all wear pink carnations or something (soooooo kidding) :)

*wakes up*

Eh? When did this appear?

Eh? Eh?

*StrayToaster wanders off to peruse the great and wonderful InterWeb.

If this be true, and I can get tickets/babysitters, my good lady and I should be there.

Or, a url, please. While I inform her. Though there is an open bottle of Cava, so coherence amongst us both might be an issue. With me it is most of the time, etcetera etcetera et al inter alia ad nauseum.

OK. URL here Naturally we will expect you to grace us with your presence.

Here, the Mean Fiddler. Is that the old Town and Country Club? I was there quite a few times in the early 90s.

Thats the place. Saw HMHB there once or twice, among other gigs.

Nice! Or, Superclaifragetcetc

Continuing the acryonms, I saw the last ever (two) TFOTN gigs there.

Fellowship of the news?

Only if the news was from Whitby and brought by chicks who like candles and erm, their interesting use there of.

Hehe. Well, back on topic, I think we have me, JohnW, Gianthead, Spy, Straytoaster and Kate thus far. Possibly also Counterfeit Faker.

Bring him on!!!!! :rocks:

I feel unloved, I wish I coud go.

Find the Johns and stow away in their luggage disguised as a double bass or something ^_^

Woo hoo! I'm looking forward to it already... the nights are long and dull in Manchester... ;)

We'll have to think up a collective noun... a "robot parade" of Giants fans?

Surely a veritable Flood of Giants fans?

Or is that when they all descend on the pub before heading to the Town and Country Club?

A head of Giant fans?

:banana: LOL pink carnations in our TMBG (forum) shirts!!!! :D

I WANT PICTURES OF THE BAND AND GROUP PICTURES OF ALL OF MY FRIENDS, TOGEHTER, WITHOUT ME.

I'll do me best! :rolleyes:

There will be pictures of some variety, to be sure.

*lets out whoops of excitement and grips erratically at camera*

I'm a bit phobic of being photoed, but just this once... :mellow:

I can Mezzotint yoo out if you wish :P

Awwww... fingertipsjjddm... for some reason you make me think of violins... and then hippos... ;)

should i feel insulted?

*just snickers* :rolleyes:

:(

I suppose I should explain myself. The fact that was a reference to a song was lost on me as I thought of a hippo with a violin going around and insulting people. Then, I remembered it was a song and eye-rolled myself.

Doodles isn't too clever sometimes. :rofl:

One of my favourite songs... and the one that gets stuck in my head most. It's dead annoying when you are on a bus going into work and all you can think is:

:music: ... one quarter of George Washington's head.... :music:

Ah, I feel a bit less insulted now. Hahaha.

I just got my ticket, I was going to wait and see if they were doing any northern dates but they're in Barcelona on the 28th so it might be a one off.

Excellent. Spy, Gianthead, JohnW and myself are fully booked, as I believe Kate is, and probably Straytoaster by now.

Should be a good gig too, no support announced, and show starts at 7?

On the website is said doors at 7, starts at 7, which must be a typo. I wonder what convinced them to come back and do European shows, it's clearly not to promote the new album...Not that I'm complaining! I hope they bring Corn Mo with them!

im guessing show times are like here in the states
add about a hour for lateness of the guy opening the doors or the sound guy

Yeah, our doors opened an hour late, and then we still had to wait an hour once we were in

Particularly for those going to the London gig, (but of course for all) the forum are now offering a range of clothing and other items, logo and design courtesy of Doodles.

Some of us going will be wearing these in place of pink carnations, so we thoroughly encourage you to order any of these delightful items that take your fancy.

You can reach the shop here, through my signature, or from the link at the top of the forum page.
