hola,
Sinan, Oktay, Dave, Steve, Billy & whoever else is comin  (guess Julie, Deeva and WBeard from what I've read)

Where will be the Efes served in Istanbul?
me and me lady will definetely join. Got to be there since the world will be ending 2 weeks later.
Tickets bought. Room booked in Chillout Cengo, which seems close enough to both venue and transport for a fair price.

No ankara though... gotta be back to work.

See you there, guys!

Hey manimal. I'm sure some place will be decided once the date is a bit nearer. Although I am in istanbul, I am not really in touch with the local fans. There was a small tight group which I joined for drinks when I used to visit from USA. They are probably still here.

It's cool you're comin Manny.....We booked into some sort of mid-range hotel real close to the venue....Goggle maps says 5 min walk...MD, we wound up going the flight route but since I was up against it for time we are on Turkish Air flying into Esenboga airport, closer tha the other one and got 'em for a bit less than the 100USD I thought.....  Yes we'll definietly pick some place close to venue for piva before the show....

Just checking that everyone knows that they need to purchase a visa before going through passport control.
Visa on arrival is the easiest, put your £10.00 in your (UK) passport and go to the visa desk. They will put a stamp into your passport and then you go to passport control

make sure you have the exact amount...

Thanks for the reminder. It's been a while since I was in Turkey and I'd forgotten about this.

Seems the Gods are watching over me for once, just got confirmation that I will be working in Ankara next week, flight, hotel, meals and beer paid for by the company and a free night to go see the boys again at the Jolly Joker - ticket already purchased! The James Cook is a decent place to drink and only 5 mins walk away I believe - I'll be there 7ish  to get me started...

[Billy T]

So are we officially calling it for the James Cook?.... We leave for Turkey Wednesday morning and who knows what internet access will be like when it all breaks loose on Thursday...Speaking of which, anyone know a spot for Istanbul?

I have a spare ticket for Istanbul. If anyone wants it for face value (50 TL as I remember) please send me a PM.

We're having another evening in Ankara!   
Go on you know it makes sense, and we need another beer monkey! ;-)

If you decide to stay in Ankara, you should all visit the recently renovated old district (Hamamonu, The Citadel and Ulucanlar Museum.) Most of them are 100+ years old, small structures. There are also arts streets in those places. The stores are ran by locals or by artists. These places are quiet, clean and friendly.

See you all on December 7th in Ankara.

As I said James Cook is good for me, I'll be there, Ankara is a great place, citadel is worth seeing, lots of local crafts on sale for pennies although I have to confess I have only been up there in the summer and they're forecasting snow for weekend, ditto lots of bars all open in summer don't know about winter. Anyway as I said before I'll be in James cook 6ish with Ramones 74 shirt on, say hello - if you're obviously army I might just come and talk to you!!

It looks like you already know the city. Me and my friends are a bit "old" in age (most of us have been following NMA since mid 80s) but I guess I may consider myself as part of the army in heart Hoping to see you all at the concert and I wish a safe trip for those of you who will travel from different cities and countries.

[BlueBeat]

Thanks for the welcome, A great time was had by all last night I think!! We're all Army at heart no matter what the age
