My band, Dumber Than The Average Bear, are supporting Hijak Oscar of Channel 4 unsigned band competition fame at The Hub in Exeter.

It will be an awesome night of funky blues rock.

Tickets can be had for £4 from www.ticketweb.com

I'll be the one with a beard and a gold guitar ;-)

Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in

Yay one I can come to.

An idea I had.

Seeing that several of us are in and around London, and that I'll probably be getting a train from London, do you think we should arrange to meet on the same train and have a mini train-bash where we pick up West-Country people along the way?

Did a bit of research on train times. From Paddington, it's 2 hours and from Waterloo, it's 3½ hours. Normally, the shorter journey would be the best choice, but if I'm sharing the train with my fellow b3tans, I'd want the train-journey to be as long as possible.

In fact, if the train becomes stuck in the middle of nowhere forever, we could start our own tribe of b3tans and live off the nature that the West-Country has to offer and build our own eco-village.

what a marvellous plan. In fact, we could hire some sort of horse and carriage contraption and extend our journey into one of several days. Aah, I can see it now, the wind in our hair, pieces of straw in the corner of our mouths, pitchforks at the ready in case of rowdy locals (i.e. Vipros - being Cornish, I'm not sure about these Devonshire folk).

Mr Spak, I'm thinking of travelling down on Saturday and coming back on Sunday so that I only have to pay to stay for one night. As for which train, I'll probably go with the cheaper option, but if you're coming back after breakfast on Sunday, perhaps we could travel back on the same one? Just let me know when it's time to book tickets.

I've bought my gig ticket! Yay!

cost of train + somewhere to sleep...

OK. I've organised a train bash on the train coming back the following Sunday (27th). My plans for getting there are still up in the air but anyone else is welcome to organise a train bash for the outbound train.

But hopefully I'll be there.

Just thinking about what time I'm going to get there on Saturday - any chance, if we're all around in the afternoon, we can meet for a drink with you, Vipros?

EDIT: Nevermind - Vipros has refused to leave his house (must be something to with Kaol). I'm just gonna get there at about 2pm then.
