Hi all -

Haven't heard much from this list recently, but here's a question: how many of us are going to Dean's London shows in December? I'm going to the one on the Friday and was wondering if anyone was interested in meeting up beforehand for a drink. I'm sick of not being able to gush to anyone about how much I love Galaxie 500/Luna/Dean & Britta for fear of boring people to tears! (I'm a 20 yr old university student so the people I speak to rarely know what I'm on about).

Let me know if you're interested! (Could potentially make a Facebook event for this if there's enough people on board).

Best
Shabby

I'll be going (to both nights) and would be happy to meet up with anyone who wants to meet up wtih me - as long as they're aware that I'm rubbish at actually talking to people, and to expect long, uncomfortable silences! Also Shabby, old enough to be your dad!

Not sure of any decent drinking emporia (is that a word) around there - but we have plenty of time to do some research!

Hoping to drag my son along on the Friday - he saw Dean & Britta at Truck a couple of years ago, and a soundcheck in London, but he's long overdue another show!

Since it looks like there might not be shows elsewhere in Europe, I will most probably make it, at least to one of the London shows !

The BA flight between Bordeaux and London is pretty good value :-)  

I'll go to the Thursday show in London.  Looking forward to it

Aww - and I was all ready to be much more sociable than last time Franck - where we barely got a chance to talk before I shot off!

Re: drink emporia -- there is a place called the Betjeman Arms inside St. Pancras station which is pretty nice (and not as expensive as a lot of other places in that area)... unless people have other recommendations?

I am coming to the Friday gig and will be around for a drink before. Betjeman Arms sounds fine!

Sounds good to me too, never thought of looking for pubs in a station!

Funnily enough watched an old British film (Simon and Laura (1955)) a couple of days ago where a couple of characters went for a drink at a bar in St Pancras station - it cost 9/- for two whiskies - which the Internet tells me is equivalent to £10!!

Shall those of us going on Thursday try the same pub? I assume the £10 is the inflation-adjusted price. If only they really did still cost 45p.

I'm going both nights and will be glad to pop in for a pre-show bottle of pop!

Hi all - I'll be at the Betjeman Arms at 6.30 on Friday night. I'll keep my bright red and orange winter hat on so I'm easy to spot. See you all there!

And I'll be there tonight around the same time. I look like Benedict Cumberbatch and my hat is a brown fedora.

I'm hoping to get there tonight for about 7 depending on trains and buses.

Set times I believe:

Papercuts 8:30
Dean 9:30

I'll have my son with me on Friday so mightn't get to the pub for too long. But will try and get there for seven or so. Also want a good spot in the church!

OK, not sure if I'll make it to the pub before the show tonight, probably not likely to be in the area until half seven so will probably go straight to church.

Please do hunt me down and say hello at the gig.

It was really nice chatting to Paul, Robert, Alex and Richard last night and boring then with my half baked London history knowledge.

Argh, I've overrun horribly on my uni work and haven't left yet, so I think I'm just going to go straight to the church. Sorry to back out so late! Look out for me at the gig: I have short curly hair, a light blue sweater and a dark blue coat. And purple glasses. So excited for the show!

Anyone had a first spot of Wonderful Christmastime yet?

Don’t think I have this year, so far :-)

plenty...my six year old daughter and I heard it in the car and she said Daddy it's our favorite song.
 
Still waiting for Dean cover version.

Heard it in the Brunswick centre (London) emanating directly from a large Christmas tree.. very surreal!

I've heard it too. But at least so many times now that it is starting to sound just like any other holiday muzak.

Sadly, no SHAWC this season......  and no Little Drummer Boy by Bing & Bowie yet, as well.

The video is a bit crappy, and the player takes an age to get going (for me) but - this exists...

... which of course means I'm listening to it right now!

Anyway... next year will be AHFoW 20th anniversary - so maybe I should get a Kickstarter going to get Luna reformed to record it for a single - how awesome would that be.

Of course I'm probably too lazy!
