Heartland meet up - Manchester - October 2008

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Pennies are bad for me. Got made redundant a month ago (f*cking fuel crisis to thank for that one) & not working yet so I'm struggling for this now which is a real bastard as I love Manchester. :evil:

Daft question:

What is the venue for Sin City then? I was under the impression it's at Rock World but it's not. Somewhere on Sackville Street from reading the thread...

So meet up at the Salisbury is probably less than ideal. Suggestions anyone?

Slightly better news is that I've now got a new job but it still might be a bit tight! Time to work out the budget I think...

if anyone is around for the friday night, there's a club called 'midlife crisis' on, also at the retro bar. music is 80s & 90s alternative & indie, with a bit of random strangeness thrown in. its a great night and i heartily recommend it... 8)

midlife crisis on friday: (site includes playlists)
www.myspace.com/mid_life_crisis

let me know if you plan on going and we will join you there ;)

likewise, if anyone is sticking around for the sunday let me know and i'll find something - there's a punk/ska night on (again, at the retro) that could be an option :|:

tns records on sunday:
www.myspace.com/thatsnotskankingrecords

just let me know if anyone is going to be around for longer than the saturday.

Well, that's a point. We're staying over, so technically we'll be around. I somehow don't think we'll be in a fit state to talk to anyone on Sunday morning though. :innocent:

it is with great regret that i must advise you that i can't be present this weekend. the cost and time of coming to manchester rather than leeds is much more, and mr s isn't a well bunny, particularly. the train fare is £90, on its own.

*cries*

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

i know. but the relocation of the event has scuppered it, this time. i can't take friday or monday off, like a lot of others could, and the rush back and forth with one getting ill and one recovering isn't gonna work :(
