The Peel Xmas gig roll call

[Mick]

I'm there :mrgreen:

[johninblack]

The three of us will be there for the whole weekend, unfortunately as the hotel doesn't allow dogs ProgDog will not be there.

[sawtooth]

I will mostly be there. No accommodation or transport sorted yet tho.

[D S]

I'll certainly be there for both Frost* and It Bites - can't wait.  Doubt I can make it for Tinyfish unfortunately as we're supposed to be having our pre-Christmas lunch with the in-laws that day - might cause a bit of a diplomatic incident...  

[Gandalf1986]

I'll miss it... bloody ryanair fares... :cry:  :cry:

[Pedro]

It appears that Tinyfish are playing The Peel again on Jan 10th (electric gig this time)....that clashes with awards night....

Natch!  Just one small request - could the slightly over 5' 10" just stand in one collective spot so that I can get a good view? - I envisage echoes of PT at Indig02.  Not bothered if it's all in the middle, at the front, to one side or the other, I just want to catch all of the action and be able to see those beautiful things that Jem will be running his fingers up and down.  Georgeous or what?  I'm in love all over again!  Jem - yer man's a genius and you are inspirational to even think of such a bold move.  Now, where's my masking tape and spray gun - the old M1 needs a bit of TLC........?

....
Georgeous or what?

As one of those who is slightly over that minimum ride height I can say that I do usually stand in one collective spot   and I do usually endeavour to take up position to one side. Plus, boney fido Frost*ies, with the right attitude   , have been known to get special treatment when it comes to being allowed to get in front of me.

However, being "closer to one's shoes" might be a disadvantage in these scenarios but, to be fair it doesn't exempt anyone from the age old truth; "if you want to get a good view, get there early". I'm not being nasty in that, it's just that if I have made the effort to get there early and got a good spot, should I just move out of the way of others arrive it at a more leisurely time because of a physical attribute I cannot change?

As for the new boards being Georgeous I agree, but The Peel have something that is even more Georgeous....and I believe he will be at the Frost* gig.  

[Philadelphia]

I'm all for getting there early (which is what I always do when I want to see a bit of what's going on at a gig I'm going to), but for this bash I'm worried that it's going to cost me valuable socialising time with the other Frost*ies. So if there are others suffering from Shorterthanaverageheightus to keep me company I'll be much happier. (:-)
