Seeing as the Mtire is only 10 mins away from the venue I guess people could bundle up there at some point before the final mass assault on the Albert? Looks like a nice area there too from Google Street View!

One final suggestion/thought - I reckon it's easier to call each other by forum names when we meet up, though for some of you there's obviously no difference! :D Saves having to remember two names for everybody and will mean it's als…

I woke at 6:45am when my clock radio sparked up, sun already bright through the window. 6 Music played "Drew" and my first thought was "Oh blimey, I'll be hearing the rest tonight!!"

Mitre hotel (full of Frappers for MIF gig) aka GMB HQ
See you around two-ish when Mitre check-in time opens. Will be in Manc from 12 or so - if anybody sees somebody looking like my avatar in a Dave Gahan t-shirt then say hello!

Ain't you lot going to bed? You have a busy day tomorrow. You need to rest and save your energy levels ;) There's zero chance of a decent night's sleep in this heat (still 26 degrees C right now indoors at half eleven) but should …

Wednesday night - black "General Deer" shirt. Thursday night - the Supernature custom shirt HJ made for Eden. edit: I've also put a handful more in just in case I change my mind. The ones above are my first choice though.

How do you feel today?
There shall be hugs and tea all round. A fresh box of my favourite apple & cinnamon has been purchased and packed. The hugs I'll just carry in my pockets.

How do you feel today?
Have had a shit day, probably culminating in losing one, possibly two, really good friends I care about and have known for a long time. At this very second I just want to crawl under a duvet but it's way too warm to do that. Will hope tomorrow&…

Happy New Mods day!!
I zap any spammy thread/post as soon as I see it. It's just 2 quick clicks. That probably works out to about 5 or 6 a day. Probably similar number dealt with by Carpy?Of course, it would be much better to prevent the spambots joining in the fir…

We just arrived at The Mitre. What a great hotel and what a great spot!!!!! :) From looking at a map it seems like a straight & easy walk down Deansgate from the Mitre to the venue and only half a mile or so? Sounding better by the minute!

I'm not nearly as distressed that I'll miss the show as I am that I'll miss the tea party. We'll raise a brew to you at some point (IF anybody else brings any!)

THERES A HACKER ON HERE, BEWARE Not a hacker, just joining in with the 'everchanging thread title on this thread' fun. I think this one has had more titles than your average government department :D

Ah, a tough choice indeed Cookie, but I'd say it's better to be looking for a job while you have a job. Better than nothing, literally.

What are you listening to now?
If anybody hasn't got the latest Flaming Lips album, The Terror, yet then they should think about doing so. A better acid-fried Kraut trip you'll be pressed to find this year. If you have already then you'll be as surprised as me wit…

Well, it's been changed plenty of times already! :) Maybe they should set it to "juanbjork's thread of randomness". :-\"

Are we permitted to modify thread titles to protect Opening Posters reputation/sanity? I think leaving it says a lot more about them than changing it. You'd hope they decide to change it themselves....

although i do wish it was less... low-contrast, i would have liked for the blacks to have been more black and less grey. my one personal little nitpick. oh well I know what you mean - I like a nice dramatic high contrast with my b&w too. I t…

I think juanbjork is either drunk, high or has banged their head. I doubt even they know what their own thread was any more :D

Watching it a third time, I get the odd impression that the Naked Trio represents children, or at least uninhibited innocence? They engage in pillow fights, leave the stairs cluttered like children normally would, play with toy planes--pretty much j…

Goldfrapp in unexpected places..........
Just popped next door to see if they'll take my wheelie bin in on Wednesday night as I'll be....ahem.....elsewhere. We got talking and she asked where I'll be. Explained about MIF and mentioned Goldfrapp, to which she said: "Oh,…

There's also some folks going for the first time on the second night so crowd will be different again. Also, hearing it for a second time will change how the Thursday gig feels. Bound to be good either way.

kinda wish i had a balcony ticket now for the 2nd night after seeing the setup. Actually, that would have made sense over the two nights - first night down in the crowd and second night up in the gods. Maybe there will be Frappers there who may w…

I'm rationing myself (always better not to hear singles too much before you hear the album so you don't unbalance the flow of it) but the more I do play it then the more I hear the differences in it's musical genetics from its obvious…

Yeah, looking at the stage height (compared with the people on stage as scale guides) I think that distance is a requirement or the first couple of rows would have seen next to nothing! :D Closeness = Good Being Able To Actually See Things = Bette…
