thank you for the reply - sadly I would have to be so off my head to say hello to a table of strangers that I would be in no state to enjoy the concert, but still appreciated!
I'm a real introvert, who literally would never say boo to a goose! But I travelled alone from Glasgow to London for the 2021 shows. I was meeting Ruffers there, but knew no-one else. I stayed at The Enterprise. I saw a couple there whom i vaguely recognised from FB. I don't know how it happened, but I put on my brave pants and went over to say hello ( I was totally sober). Turns out it was the very lovely Charlie and Planet Dave
Moral of story...if a middle-aged country bumpkin introverted female can do it....so can you!!
I have seen The Sisters at The Paradiso. I will die happy
With massive thanks to Ruffers for his company and help.
A girl is never too old to wear a Sisters tshirt!
you literally just described me! and actually you're right: it's downright pathetic to be 'shy' at my age - haven't been to a gig in years and the thought is turning me teenagery. I shall turn up, grow up and buck up, or something - thank you all for the reassurance and help. cx.
I believe our weather in Seattle is quite similar to London’s, just 8hrs behind.
At least you get fair warning then
It's nice to see some gig-anticipation building for this weekend as ruffers says above, if folk turn up to have a good time, they'll definitely have a good time, no matter what

Any recs for food/explores/must dos while in the area for the two days? First time in the UK let alone London and want to explore between the shows but am not super keen on the usual touristy stuff.

So excited.
Camden market is full of all sorts of little alternative shops and places to grab all types of food.
A lot of people stay at the Enterprise Hotel/Pub as it's almost opposite the Roundhouse, so it's one of the main meet up points before and after gig, you'll definitely not be alone if you go there!

Thanks, I should have read the whole thread first, been in 'very unexpected trip' organising scramble mode. We're staying at the Enterprise! It seemed the most practical option. I'll be the other one in black.
Seriously though, if anyone hears an Australian woman around there then it might be me, come say hi.
