Nottingham, 22 Dec, whose coming?
« on: November 04, 2018, 06:58:33 PM »

It's only a few weeks away and it'll be here before you know it!   ;)

So whose coming?  For the traditional 'stand in line for ages outside Rockers in the freezing rain with a gig at the end of it' thing?  ;D

Also, where we meeting?  I believe the Tap is the new venue for the aftershow party (RIP, Spanky's!) so perhaps a new venue for the pre-gig-meet?  Any ideas?  I'd suggest The Horn In Hand, just around the corner, but someone with a better understanding of Nottingham might be able to suggest something better... yes, Shush, if you're reading this, I'm looking at you...  ;)

I truly can't wait to meet up with old pals (some of whom I haven't heard from in a good long while) at the best venue in the UK to see our beloved NMA, you know who you are, please post back!

Well I will be there, normal arrangements (hopefully ) Strathdon booked, ticket on mantle piece. Still to book the train hopefully this week. Arrive in Nottingham about 2pm , shower , food, maybe a kip lol then to pre gig meet.  Looking forward to meeting everyone again, won't be drinking as I can't handle it anymore.

All things considered  I think the best and easiest place to meet is the Tap. Its the people you are with rather than the place that makes a good pub session.

My better half Denise & myself will be at the gig.  Will no doubt be partaking in a few pre-gig beverages too.  Not too long now. Looking forward to it.

Cheers,

Zen

Already planning it... get into Nottingham a bit after twelve (with me lifelong gig-mate Dan The Postman), lunch at the Pit And Pendulum (sorry, Shush, I know you dislike the place but they do cracking good burgers!), check in at the Premier Inn, maybe have a nap (because I am old as shit) and off to the pre-gig for about four pm or so, drinks and meets with friends old and new and then THE  GIG, followed by a burger at that little stand outside of Rockers and then an aftershow, where I'll try and have conversations through the fog of drink and the deafening music and, usually, fail to make much sense of anything...

As long as NMA play Nottingham at Christmas, this will be my modus operandi... long may it continue...  :D

So... this time next week we'll be amidst the maelstrom that is the traditional Nottingham 'last weekend before Christmas' gig...   :D

Truly cannot wait.

Any updates, new folks to add to the people we're hoping to meet, questions for newcomers, anything?  Hey, planning these things is part of the fun!
