QuoteWhilst we're on the subject of the Astoria show, any idea who's opening for them yet CC?

no idea. will let you all know when i find out.

I'm a newbie, too.  Really looking forward to the Astoria gig, and now a pint at the Tottenham.

I've been reading the board for a while, and you guys have got to be the least cliquey bunch on the net... must be the long-term effect of a daily dose of The Jacket!

Hey Mark, good to have you aboard!
Hoping to make it to the Tottenham for a pint or 2 but I'm still not sure of my schedule (my sister's getting married the next day!)
Whereabouts in the UK are you from?  :)
God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.

Hi dragOnbOy

Living just north of London at the moment, but from deepest Suffolk in East Anglia.

Was it just a lucky coincidence that your sister is getting married the next day?  I see from previous posts that you're currently in Japan...

Never seen MMJ live before.  Getting more excited by the prospect the closer we get, some of the stuff in the live archive is amazing...

Hey Mark,
Not that far from my old stomping ground of Reading.
I do indeed live in Japan, for my sins (no wait...that was Reading)  :-[
The Astora will be my first Jacket show too, I got VERY lucky with regards to being home at the same time for my sister's wedding.
Needless to say I think about it every day & CAN NOT WAIT!!!

QuoteHey!

I'm just a newbie. I'm sure people would give me the cold shoulder ;D

Are there many UK fans on here?
That definately wouldn't happen. There are quite a few UK fans on here. Dragonboy will be there. MarkW is also a newbie - give him a PM. We're all nice - it's a prerequisite. Have fun  :D

MarkW

Baskerville would be welcome to PM me, but I have no idea what that is or how it works.  It's making me feel old just thinking about it. ???

It's easy Mark. Look at the top of your page, it should say 'Hey, MarkW, you have 1 new message - refresh the page if it doesn't. Click on the number and see what happens.

MarkW

Sorcery!  Next thing you know there'll be telephones without wires...

Baskerville

Hey Mark. You live quite close to me. You're also a NMH fan, i see. Good work ;D

Aeroplane is one of my five favourite records.

MarkW

Hi Baskerville

I do indeed like NMH.  Even after many listens, I'm not sure whether I get what Aeroplane is about, but I like it just the same.

Look forward to seeing you at the pre-gig meetup.  We can be the scared looking newbies hiding in the corner.  ;)

Hey Baskerville, welcome aboard!
Looks like there's going to be a bit of a gathering at the
'Tottenham Pub Next to the McDonalds and outside Tottenham Court Road Tube Station' hope you can make it  Smiley

See you at the Tottenham prior. We'll be the Yanks in the MMJ gear.

Hey John

I'm not sure the pub will be ready ready for an MMJ-attired American invasion.  Gonna be a riot!

I come from germany and I'm going to see their show in London.

Does anybody know, whether there will still be tickets available at the box office that evening (Sept. 22)?

Don't know whether I will manage to organise the tickets in time.

thanx for any helpful infos ::)

dragonboy

Hey Dudess!
I wouldn't take a chance if I were you, especially travelling from so far. I'm surprised the show hasn't sold out yet...I'm sure it will.
Here's a link for the tickets:

Dudess, I ordered my tickets from Astoria, and i got them in a few days. It's reliable and efficient. I'd say order them now.

Seems like people are coming in from all over the world for this gig.

Quite right Tore!
I was just looking at the thread again, we've got Japan, Norway, Belgium, Croatia, The US, Germany, Ireland...wow!  :)
