Celebr8.2

[turbo]

Sadly i shall also be missing this one, already seeing spocks and steve hackett the same week with fish coming up just a week or two after, this will be the first frost show i will miss since before the peel 2008 gig and i am well and truly gutted. 

[D S]

Sounds similar to me - May is due to be a mad prog month with the Beard, Celebr8.2, Hackett and finally Rush!    Not that I'm complaining but after May, I've nothing in the diary till Peter Gabriel at the end of October so it's a bit 'feast or famine'.
Was in 2 minds whether or not to go to Celebr8.2 but as I missed Frost*bites (making 2012 my first Frost-free year since 2008  ), I wanted to make the effort.

[DavSel]

I'm still undecided whether to go or not. Time not being on my side I start uni next week so I'm buggered if I know how much work I'll have during 11th and 12th... HOWVEVER I'm still very tempted!!

I'm happy to drive down from the good ol' North West to watch the only Frost* gig this year and drive back after they finish! I know I'd miss Threshold but sadly time is not on my side.... hmmm decisions decisions... :/

[Fogeyspasm]

I shall be there, along with Liz and Mouse. Down Friday daytime. Home Monday. Beers and Prog and no expense spared.

[Fogeyspasm]

Will there be Merch?

[catherine]

I shall be there for both days
(and might be up for a curry on the Saturday as it's an early end )

ohhh 9.30 finish on Sat! this changes the perspective on the journey home. Now swaying towards the public transport option. I'm guessing the early finish is to allow the venue to morph into a disco.

[D S]

I guess so.  I remember people queueing to get in for the nightclub after IQ last year but I don't remember a 9:30pm finish - thought it was later.
Public transport vs staying on for a curry with Frost*ies.  No brainer I'd have thought! 

[RacingHippo]

The early finish is because, as all veterans of Kingston gigs know, you can't get a decent curry in Kingston after 11pm (unless you book it in advance and get duly fleeced).

[catherine]

Are we going for a curry then, decent or indecent?

[D S]

Given the early finish time, yes, I'm up for a curry (preferably a decent one  ).

[RacingHippo]

I'd be up for one, but I have to be elsewhere later that night (one has SUCH a busy social life now that one has partially-moved to The City, don'tchaknow).
So whether I can go currying depends on whether it's straight after Frost* or after all the other buggers have played...

[Bert]
