Oxford meetup?

[Trudi]

A couple of people were mentioning a pre-gig drinky - has a venue been chosen for this?
I do remember going to a pub near the Zodiac once (the only other time I've been to a gig there), but can't for the life of me remember exactly where, or what it was called...the ol' brain cells aren't what they used to be!

[Banky]

I haven't arranged anything with anyone yet, nae. Not sure what's best, I'm not an Oxford local, am travelling from Reading.

But I'd definitely be up for catching a drink, I'm bringing my housemates and chums to their first ever Wildhearts gig! We're getting to Oxford early afternoon hopefully, so we'll be well up for a drink. I know I can't wait to meet some other Wildhearts fans!

Perhaps if anyone else attending the Zodiac gig knows the pub Trudi might be thinking of? Hehe.


EDIT: Aaaaactually, I do remember, not far down the road there is a Scream pub. Seemed alright to me. Went there last year before a gig.

Me mate Chris said there's a half decent pub about 50 yards down from the Zodiac.
I'll chat to him later and see if he can remember what it's called.

I remember the pub, but not the name. Or do I? Who knows, there are so many pubs involved in Wildhearts gigs!

[Trudi]

I remember the last time I was there, most people being quite subdued due to, um, fragility following the previous night's escapades!

[andy_b]

Sorry, but it's suddenly occurred to me that I'm really f**kin' looking forward to Oxford!
Think it must be all the talk in the other threads about the shows so far, but I really can't wait now!

That was all

Me too Andy - I got my ticket aaages ago and have been bouncing around the house since! Heh, much to my housemates' annoyance.

And it could well be the Hobgoblin, opposite Tesco's.

Or it might be somewhere else

That's the fella!

[Trudi]

Yep, I recognise it now!

[Banky]

Hobgoblin sounds excellent to me.

[Aj]

Count me and Chris in, if we can find it

[Banky]

So Hobgoblin at some time in the early evening or something? What time's best?


I've never met anyone orf the internet before, how do we know who to look for and that?

[Trudi]

Hubby and I will be getting there probably 5-5.30. I'm short and blonde and will probably be wearing silver doc martens and carrying a big red bag, t'other half is 6'2" and will be drinking tequila

Probably look for the bunch of people with an above average Wildhearts tshirt quota

Not sure what I'll be wearing, but I'll probably have my leather jacket with WH logo on the back, and 'alterative' smiley-bones Also, I'm not sure what time we'll be there cos the missus is at work, and we're coming from Nottingham. That really helps doesn't it?
