Thank you Dave.

I'm staying in the Ibis on Portland Street. Is the MEN far from here? Is it walking distance etc...

Cheers

Didn't you get a map when you booked? We did.

**Fri Dec 16, 2005 2:26 pm**

Alas I didn't, although I have an Ibis location book but the map is small without much detail. Me and my mate + wives are staying there. Just wondered how far it was to the Venue...

Looking at our map, it is quite a walk. The girl at Manchester Tourist Information told me it would only take about 15 or 20 minutes to get there.

See you all tomorrow :lol:

Turn right out of front door and up Princess Street for c. 200 yrds. Stop 01- O' Sheas. From O' Sheas carry on up Princess Street to jcn. with Portland Street; turn right and try the Castle and Circus Tavrn ( a piece of old manchester). Turn right out of the pub door and right again back onto Princess Street; proceed 500yrds to Albert Square & sample some german hot wine ! From square carry on up John Dalton St; cross Deansgate & turn 1st right down the alley to Mulligans!

Back onto Deansgate and five min walk to MEN !

Went into Waxys at the appointed hour but could not see a celtic tops for all the DropKick shirts. Did you all find each other?

Perhaps next year?

Did you go back after the gig? I had to retire after chasing after the roving beer sellers all night!

After a long journey and an exhausting day of Christmas Shopping I fell asleep in my hotel room. Woke up late so I had to run directly to the MEN-Arena.

We were late. 6.15 ish. No trouble getting the lad in, but big trouble actually getting a drink due to queue at the bar. My patience failed and we went to the MEN where I'd've happily paid the £3.50 for a can of black stuff several times over.

Niall and I found each other. My partner and I got to Waxy's at 3.50 and Niall was in at 4.10. I left him at the back of the arena with his mates and went to the front. Sorry Niall.

So I guess nobody met up then?
