Title: Spain ?
Post by: thelady on September 11, 2013, 06:51:36 AM
Booked my flight, yesterday. So far, I´m on my own  :-[
Any suggestions for hotels or transfers ? Anyone else coming ?!?
I guess, there`s a lot going on on facebook - as I´m not on, there, please don`t forget me ...

Hi Uli, Hope all is good with you!  A number of us are doing the Spain gigs, and travelling between them by train, but I don't have the details to hand right now. I am sure plenty of others are doing something similar. 

I will dig out our details and send this evening if that helps, and then you can decide what you want to do.  :)

Hi, those of you coming to Barcelona do you fancy a meet up after the gig? Normally there is an after gig party at the Undead club, but there doesn't seem to be anything happening this year and it's a fair way from the venue which is  in the centre of town. I did, though, come across a bar the other day called Nevermind (it used to be Valhalla) at the end of Calle Tallers (the street with all the record shops on!) five minutes from the venue. Didn't get chance for a a drink as I had the little 'un with us, but it looked ok. What da ya say? https://www.facebook.com/NevermindBcn (https://www.facebook.com/NevermindBcn)

Un saludo, Stompy

Yes definitely - and thanks for making the suggestion (there could only be one answer to that question  ;D ;D ) 

I  just looked at the FB site and it looks good, and sounds convenient too - is it a bar or a live venue and is it free to get in on the night of the gig?

I'll try and get into town this week and find out...as far as I know it's just a normal bar, which means it'll be open to 3am. I'll let them now that the family is on the way, which would, I imagine, be a honour for them to have the pleasure of our company!!!

I guess we will be very tired before/during/after the gig from travelling long distances on ridiculous times but hey, I guess a 5 min walk is something I am able to do!!

By the way, it's even better - it's only a 3 min walk from our hotel :-)

I can cope with long distances so long as all I need to do is  settle back and let Captain Easyjet get on with his job,  and I can sleep down the back!

Party!  :)
