    I'm gonna wear buttoned cotton shirt & dark blue smartish jacket and dark jeans, and have a mask, which i can wear/remove as seems fitting... like we did at Bat for Lashes in Oct. I was surprised that people (even inc Stephanie) wore their masks walking from pub to venue! Love the gloves idea, but I've not seen any yet that would work, for me. But yeah, id say not to worry too much & just enjoy the frapperaderie. (ok, poor made-up word, but you can hopefully get the gist) :)

    Er ladies n gents its gonna be 29 degrees so the gloves can f off. I usually wear b+w anyway so I can manage that. Im sure ebay can send me a cheap mask.

    Manchester is stupidly pricy for hotels. I mean its oop north! Try the uni if the students av broken up by then. Cant remember its name but it had a conference place in it too. It's nr the academy venue where all the uni bits r.

    I paid £29 for my place at the Mitre. Loads of us are staying there. Do they not have any availability?

    I know it's a bit off an obvious one but try laterooms.com as this it's a good way to find places even if you then look them up and book directly!

    Bit-in-bold... that's a good thing to do. I use Laterooms to advertise my guesthouse, and they charge the proprietor a 20% commission! So ringing directly saves the B&B money, and they may even give you an extra discount. :)

    would of booked a room back then myself  but both shows were sold-out.....


    anyways i got offered 2 tickets (1 for each night) this wednesday night but finding somewhere to stay for a reasonable price is proving very hard, that's why i asked if anyone know's what time the gig ends so i can catch the last train home (23:38/11:38pm) then come back the next day for the second show, train fare from stoke-on-trent to manchester return is about £15
