Ginger & The Scorchers - London

[Arabiandisco]

So who's going then?

Also, does anyone fancy having a Jack & Coke in the general locale in advance of the momentous event? (I'll finish work at about 4.30, so there's a couple of hours to kill before the doors open and I meet my Bro). I'm dead nice really, if you can see past the questionable facial hair...

[Ean]

Yep, I am. And I'll have some time to kill before my mate finishes work too.

You're on yer own with the Jack & Coke, mind. I'm particularly un-rock'n'roll when it comes to anything whiskeyesque.

Any ideas on a place? I'm not taking any responsibility for this one: it never ends well...

The World's End pub directly above the venue would seem sensible - easy to find, and only a minute from the venue. If you're quick you can usually get back upstairs for a drink after the show as well as Underworld shows tend to finish really early and they throw everyone out sharpish.

I won't be able to get there early enough for a drink somewhere beforehand though.

[Trudi]

I'll second that, the World's End is a *reasonably* safe bet. I should get there for around 6.30 if I'm going straight from work.

[Arabiandisco]

World's End suits me fine...

And I'm not particularly rock n roll when it comes to drinking, as I'll have to drive before I get home. So just the one then onto lemonades... \m/

[DarrenStockford]

Is anyone recording the show? If I had some equipment that could cope with volume, I'd do it myself. Alas, I'm only good for acoustic gigs. I know folk who can't make it along (mostly 'cos they live thousands of miles away) who are gagging to hear this thing. And, of course, I'd love a wee souvenir too.

Anyone got any plans to record and torrent it?

I don't believe that for a second.

[Arabiandisco]

Well if anyone is in the World's End before the show on Weds, then I'll be hanging around looking lost with a pathetic soft drink, and quite possibly an Iron Maiden T-shirt. Currently sporting the world's worst beard (tm)... Afraid I haven't a clue what any of you lot look like, so you'll have to wave at me, or flick Vs, or whatever else you like if you want to say hi!

I seem to remember a year or so ago people were talking about wearing stetsons to a Ginger gig - either Ginger solo or G&TSC. So how much more appropriate would this western headgear be at a Ginger & The Scorchers gig?

Yeee, and indeed haaa!

So... Anybody know where we can get hold of a couple of hundred stetsons at short notice? Unless Beerofthedark has a few spares?

Oh, and BYO bar stool and big glass ashtray to the pub just in case - offensive language optional.

[beerofthedark]

Doesn't look like i can make this one unfortunately (though hope is not entirely lost). But if I do, i shall try and remember my stetson. I have only the one, honest.

[Arabiandisco]

I have a Jason Perry-style Golf Visor, will that do?

[ilayad]

I'll be there

however, i'll probably be completely un-rock'n'roll, and nipping for yummy thai food before, just round the corner (up past the cinema) - it's the nicest thai food i've had in london so far if anybody else is interested?

otherwise - mines a vodka and coke and see you at the bar

Well I've got to get some dinner from somewhere...

[Ean]

Never mind Stetsons...
