hello,
so a friend an i have decided to be tremendously spontaneous and are planning on coming to london the 14th through the 30th. this way we get to see pvd at gatecrasher on the 15th, scott bond at gatecrasher on the 22nd, and tiesto at gatecrasher on the 30th. (my god, you guys must be in heaven getting to see all this good music all the time!).
so, we need suggestions...
first of all, any suggestions on cheap places to stay... i assume hostels would be cheaper, but we are looking for somewhere we can bring a suitcase to and leave it locked up in a room for the day while we are wandering about. so, do you guys know of any cheapish hostels (or maybe non cheapish ones) that have that as an option? ive never stayed at a hostel before so i dont even know if thats an option or not, period. well, and also a plus is that the hostel is in a safe area of course :)
second, club nights! we've already seen that thursdays at heaven is john digweed. any other suggestions? we have the 15th, 22nd and 30th planned for but any weeknight clubs that would be good would be appreciated! and on that note, what is the dress code like for those? i dont really own any "nice" clothes, so do i need to buy any for gatecrasher, heaven, etc? should we buy tickets ahead of time for any of the nights?
or also, any other places for us to visit.. record stores, anything. ive been to london twice, but both times were a long time ago when i wasn't really into the scene yet... so i've checked out the industrial scene there but nothing techno-related...
i cant think of any more questions but i know ill have some.. so any infomation/recommendations you guys might have, we appreciate greatly!!! thanks! ill check this thread, or my email address is egypt1an@yahoo.com |

dood if ya intend to go to crasher on all those nites then i suggest you get a hotel in sheffield because otha wise you'll be doooin a lot of travellin!crasher is about 150miles from london!i know caus i avta drive there when i go to crasher!!if you sty in sheffield then it's a reasonably short train ride to liverpool(cream) and birmingham (godskitchen)
u'l need funky street dress for tgatecrasher or nethin wild and colourful...but regardin the clubs in london the ui'l need shoes and proper formal gear!(thta all depends where you end up of course!)
hope that helps a bit! |

yea, we werent sure about accomodations in sheffield because we will have a suitcase and all. we were thinking it might be a hassle to lug that thing up there in whatever way we would get there (heh, i know im certainly not going to try to drive the opposite way im used to).. and then have to come back the next day.
we saw on the gatecrasher site that you can pay 39 pounds to get on a coach and get driven up there and back and get in with priority entry. that is definitely not small change but we thought maybe we would do that since it might be easier than bringing the suitcase up/back for one night? which do you think would be easier? |

| that is certainly pretty dear to do each wknd, a coah tho is probably the cheapest way ur gonna get up to sheffield for just the weekends!if your definatly stayin in london neway wud it not be easier to place ur baggage in a baggage holdall at airports,trainstation ctc?and take wiv you all ur essentials and precious items wiv u to crasher?there is a cloakroom which takes smaller bags.in regards to pvd on trhe 15th u mite b able 2 leave them at tu_faces house but thats not for me to say, but we're all plannin to go to the 6 hr set at crasher! |

yea, i was actually just told about leaving suitcases at a train station/airport.. i didn't even know you could do that :)
yes, it'll definitely be pricey, although this is seriously a chance of a lifetime for me. i live over in washington, and any good trance i see, i have to go up to vancouver. so far, ive only had a chance to see tiesto, sasha/digweed, and oakenfold. pvd *never* comes over to this area... hes coming in a few months but it is 21+, and i am 20. :( thats actually why this whole trip idea even came up.. it wasn't much more money to fly to london instead of just going somewhere in the states!
do you know if tickets can be bought ahead of time so we get in for sure? or does it usually sell out?
as far as your friend's house/etc... if you guys wanted to meet up somewhere and go with us to see pvd, that would be great :) i'd love to meet some other tranceaddict folk and say hi, especially since you guys are from there and know what you are doing :D we are just going to be two lost american girls who dont know where we are going.. hehe |
