    I am SO tired today (should probably have not had that last pint of ale yesterday... never mind!) , but am being held awake through sheer excitement for tomorrow.  As I've mentioned to others I'll probably be at the Queen's Arms around 6pm.  I'm travelling from Reading (work) via Camden (bed - I need to drop off my work laptop so I can work from home the next day).  I can't leave work until 4 at the earliest, so will try and be as quick as possible and should make it there for 6ish.  Although this completely depends on the number 27 bus from Paddington (I hate it, it always makes me wait 20 minutes!).  

    Anyway, sorry for all the waffling! I had a very weird dream last night, for which part of it involved me in fits of jealousy because my RAH seats were in a very strange place and I had to essentially look through a letter box type slot to see... and my view consisted only of you lot in the crowd, I couldn't even see the stage! I'm hoping this isn't a premonition!

    Thanks for the sympathy you guys, it does suck to love a foreign band doesn't it. It's my own fault for not being independently wealthy. Maybe one day:)

    Anyhoo, more important, HAVE AN EFFING GREAT TIME!!!!

    And bring us back some pictures please, of the event, and stories about who got piss drunk at the meet up :D




    LOVE tasted CRITICAL

    Is the Queens Arms gathering an official one? :-) I should be in the area around 6PM possibly half 6. Early enough to grab a pint with some peeps. I missed out on the Hammersmith Apollo one as I didn't know anyone and couldn't get in touch with anyone...  :P I am travelling from Hillingdon area... Let me know, guys. Would be nice to say hello to some 'frapp followers ^_^

    Oh and BTW:

    Anyone know what time Alison will hit the stage?
    Last time at the Albert Hall I glided smoothly from the bar, past the "no drinks beyond this point" sign, took my seat and as I took the first sip from my pint the band started up. Not a second wasted...

    Band: 7:45PM

    or so the ticket states...

    Thanks for that reminder of the times, Stuart_P.

    Yes, DuhVeed - the Queen's Arms is still the place forum members are gonna aim for. One or two as early as 4:30pm but most between 5 & 6 I believe. I reckon quite a few will go in to see the support (Mara Carlyle).

    Would be so good to have you here for this one, @A_is_A but understand very few can just jet over the pond! Am sure there will be plenty juicy details/pics on here, if that helps a bit!

    How will I know who is who? :P Like, I don't want to randomly walk into a pub and ask people if they're from the forum...

    ^ Haha. Here's a link to a photo album from the Frapp MIF gig in 2013... the 3rd and 5th pictures in particular have a lot of us in. The tags (hover over the face) are people's real names, but there is a forum/real names list on here... in the seating/accom thread. Hope that helps a bit!

    We will all be wearing horses tails of course, or a casually slanted Kepi on our heads playing with Theramins!
    Or, you could look out for this on a black jacket lapel...

    Cheers, Jack. My seat is Arena B Row 13 Seat 17. Hope to make the acquaintance of some of my fellow fans at the Queens Arms. I'll be sporting the 'Tales Of Us' tee from last November's Apollo show.
