The Mum's on pt. 4 of 6 with the chemo today, I'll post an update around 5-6pm, she was told it would get more intense as the treatment went on and while she was pretty good last week it is taking its toll. I'll need to do some kind of head count as I don't have a very large patio but I also want to be as welcoming as poss. If it's really pishin' it doon my room is not an option as a refuge as it's only 10 x 12' and 45% full of junk, that's coming out to meet me! Anyone intending to pop along please PM me. :D

at the far end of Sauchiehall St. is MacPhabbs I'm sure it's pretty child friendly and has seats outside for us as need a gasper on the other side of town there's West Brewery but if all's well bring the wee fella over here, I'll do some bacon lollipops for him :D

Late afternoon, the pubs around the venue. A white Russian with Korin is on the cards and have arranged meet ups with assorted peeps. Most of you have my moby, txt me if need be.
Aftershow with Korin also on the cards.

I'll probably be hanging around Central Station from around 1:30 till 2, as that seems to be when most people are coming - apart from Inga, who's arriving at 6:20 in the morning :lol:

As for child friendly pubs, the Hengler's Circus (Wetherspoons) at 351 Sauchiehall St is handy for the Travelodge and the ABC. I saw King Tuts and Nice'n'Sleazy listed as child friendly on the List site but I'm not sure that's accurate.

Blame the Central Hotel for bad habits :lol: I should point out that I'm also happy to meet people at McPhabbs, but I thought people might prefer somewhere en route, hence the Wetherspoons suggestion.

As for tonight, does anynoe fancy meeting up for a curry at the Tiffin Rooms on Sauchiehall St at around 8pm?

I'll be at the gig with the missus, and three mates, all of whom will be giving out flyers for the aftershow. Also, if you need directions, look for a scary-yet-lovely Polish lass named Arieta, who'll be somewhere outside the venue, dressed in PVC. She'll lead the way. :lol:

Here are some directions, as you can see, the city centre has been helpfully laid out in a grid pattern. So either take the route on the clicky, or just keep walking down Sauchiehall Street towards town, then turn right on Renfield Street, and keep going until you pass Central Station. The Classic Grand is next to the nearby McDonalds.

Also, if anybody's in Glasgow already, I'm DJing at the Classic tonight too (we do a regular night on Wednesdays), playing mostly 80s/90s pop, and a bit of classic rock/industrial. :)

I've still not a clue what I'm doing during the day tomorrow, though. A bunch of things have come up making getting anywhere difficult. I don't think I'll be able to make it to Unkle's, but should still be free for pre-gig drinks, provided I'm in one piece. :lol: :|

pre-emptive strike:

started in the queue with _emma_ at dawn. next person turned up at 5:00

gig okay, sound crisp and clear.

only real surprise - the new song in setlist which actually turned out to be an obscure 60's garage classic (bonus points for naming it in the venue).

hangover - stonking!!
Goths have feelings too
