Cunningly arranged for the day I get paid! We shall be starting off in the Howard, and then at about 8pm moving onto a pub crawl into Sheffield itself to whatever club looks likely. Heck, even the Corporation. So what are you waiting for?
Directions: dead centre of Sheffield, right across from the train station. Piece of piss to get to.
More details to come as we get closer to the time. People that can provide crash space please GAZ me and I shall put the details on here.
::UPDATE::
I can provide crash space for up to 9 people, so gaz me if you need some!
1/ bearpookie Unfortunately dropped out
2/ Woodside Industries
3/ Non-b3tan by the name of Ian
4/ Sea Tramp
5/ The Doctor
6/ Ttssattsr
7/
8/
9/
::Second update::
MadadamUK has three spaces, but it's BYO sleeping bag.
Currently the only criterion for crash space is first come, first served.
The Howard [map]

I have lived in Chesterfield for 9 years, and have never been out in Sheffield for the night.
However I now live in Bristol, but i would like to come

If it happens to coincide with a Peekaboo burlesque night, then "Might" gets escalated to an "Almost Certainly".

I know there is a Spearmint Rhino just down the road... however I fear this may be a little downmarket for your tastes. Incidentally I shall be dragging a fella who is very much into English longbow along and also makes his own, should you want to meet him.

We often go as a group of students on the tuesday night as it is student night and free entry, along with cheaper dances, cheap beers too, so is all good! A good third of the people in there on average are female customers btw
( , Fri 4 Jan 2008, 21:23, Reply)
Downmarket my eye! I love Spearmint Rhino... the only trouble is my wallet doesn't these days. Bit different to Burlesque, mind you!
I'm keen to turn up, strip club or no - we'll just have to see how bad my finances are in a week or so.

And if they are, drag SeaTramp with you, would you?

Yay, a sheffield bash, I'll be thar!
I live at some halls about 3mins walk down the road from the howard/train station, i could provide a living room space for maybe 3 or so people to crash if wished, althoguh not got tons of warmingy-duvet type stuff.
EDIT:: I now have a spare bedroom, so it won't all be just floor space, means i can maybe provide another 2 extra spaces! (Big spaces - don't want cramped people)(5 spaces altogether)
( , Fri 4 Jan 2008, 21:22, Reply)
I'm at the Anvil, its about 4mins walk from the howard. Past leadmill/sainsburys and across those two roads, then its a few hundred yards up a road. Brand new this year too!
You do realise the Howard serves an absolutely awful pint don't you? The globe just up the way is far better, i hope we end up visiting the devvy cat and corp too :-p
( , Sat 5 Jan 2008, 0:12, Reply)
Is just a starting point for wherever we end up. I fully intend to be in Corp at the end of the night :)
( , Sun 6 Jan 2008, 3:45, Reply)
I've have a few in there, it wasn't bad.

Excellent little pub, not sure if it's still undergoing a refurb though.
( , Fri 11 Jan 2008, 11:39, Reply)
as a naive, shy fresher and got hassled by the locals for drinking lager
never went back... too scary
( , Wed 13 Feb 2008, 20:07, Reply)
Yorkshire people can be like that. You'll be fine with a bunch of us! We can celebrate my quarter century and lay a couple of demons to rest at the same time.
( , Wed 13 Feb 2008, 23:16, Reply)
Oh buggery bollocks. Well, we can always check on the way, the Old Monk is ok-ish.
( , Tue 19 Feb 2008, 16:16, Reply)
Is the Frog and Parrot still going?
Last time I went out in Sheffield, bloody hell, 20 years ago.
And some crash space would be appreciated, I'm coming over from the land of Mancs.
Yeeeeeeeeeh.

I avoid the place like the plague though, full of southern students. And Gilgamesh... stop stalking me!
( , Fri 11 Jan 2008, 11:41, Reply)
Has some good music on some evenings, has a couple of good beers on tap, kinda little and not always full of southern students, sometimes i am in there and i'm a midlander with scouse mates
( , Fri 18 Jan 2008, 23:38, Reply)
But it is a little out of the way.
( , Sat 19 Jan 2008, 12:12, Reply)
whether we do or not, wherever is fine by me, but its not really anywhere out of the way if we are indeed going to corp, its less than 30 seconds walk from there.
( , Mon 21 Jan 2008, 3:27, Reply)
cos it was the first pub I met my mate in when I went through for a gig, (Billy Bragg, and the Sid Presley experience 20 odd years ago, fyi).
They used to have a parrot which called time!
It's a real ale boozer, at least it used to be when part of the Firkin thing, but as I drink wine and lager, I'm not fussy.
In separate glasses obviously.
( , Mon 21 Jan 2008, 16:17, Reply)
Unless munneh tells me no. Won't know 'til nearer the time, though. Put me down for one of those deep pits in yr basement, though.
Can provide own lotion.
(although if going to a 'club' is compulsory, you can fuck right off)
( , Mon 14 Jan 2008, 22:17, Reply)
tis a heavy metal/indie/rock club, none of that pesky normal dancey stuffs!
( , Fri 18 Jan 2008, 23:39, Reply)
Hopefully around this time so I'll pop along if I'm around.
( , Tue 22 Jan 2008, 11:52, Reply)
Parrott and Woodside don't exactly count themselves as best buddies.

People as important and popular as him don't deign to attend such plebeian events as b3ta bashes.
( , Wed 23 Jan 2008, 22:34, Reply)
are we knowing whom is whom? Are you going to sit in the corner with something written on your forehead or something? And what time are we looking at? Maybe a mobile number of someone to be gaz'd to others incase they turn up late or something and want to know what pub we're in...
( , Fri 25 Jan 2008, 20:22, Reply)
I had stupidly gotten it into my head that this was somehow today! I'm not very good at thinking of stuf fplanned miles away on dates further on - I'm a student! Planning - what planning!
( , Sat 26 Jan 2008, 14:02, Reply)
I can drink you all under the table I suppose. I'll be on the table drinking, of course - there's more room there.
( , Tue 5 Feb 2008, 19:50, Reply)
I'll chat with him about it asap. Until then could I bagsy a place on your floor?
( , Wed 6 Feb 2008, 9:13, Reply)
Being in there as an away supporter at a Blades match was a fun experience.
Alas, I'm not around so can't come - but will keep an eye out for another!

Never been on a b3ta bash before.
How will I recognise folks?

Failing that we usually occupy the sofas next to the bar.

More the merrier. Rebel's may have gone, but the Wapontake lives on in the form of the Casbah!

and I promise to offend everyone unintentionally.
( , Sat 16 Feb 2008, 21:22, Reply)
Only kidding, don't panic yourselves.
Can't be bothered with catching 3 trains or whatever it is, even to see such a distinguished crew.
( , Sun 17 Feb 2008, 17:58, Reply)
It's not so bad... just the one train, direct from Liverpool Lime Street or Warrington Central, whichever is closest.
( , Sun 17 Feb 2008, 19:01, Reply)
Which means 3 trains and 2 waits. Anyway l couldn't walk to Liverpool or Warrington.
( , Sun 17 Feb 2008, 20:56, Reply)
You can get a train from there to Manc, IIRC, and then from there, to Sheffield. So, not so bad. Or is my memory fubar?
( , Sun 17 Feb 2008, 23:42, Reply)
Pity, I fancied a night on the piss in God's own country.
Have a good night :)

Sheffield Wednesday are playing Cardiff that day and there is a long history of trouble between Sheffield teams and Cardiff.
The police do shut The Howard from time to time if they think there is going to be trouble in the area.

and sit back and watch whilst a bunch of lonely nerds get hospitalised by group of thugs.
( , Tue 19 Feb 2008, 18:28, Reply)
Oh, and whatever happened to your old viewpoint - namely: "I really really really wish I could have come to this, but I was too scared?"
Did you suddenly abandon it because it became unfashionable on /talk?
Go back to wanking over the kids at your nursery, you abominable waste of flesh.
( , Tue 19 Feb 2008, 19:37, Reply)
Oh well, no worries, plenty of other pubs about if it does get closed. We can always stick a note on the door!
( , Tue 19 Feb 2008, 19:20, Reply)
as is The Rutland further along Paternoster.

Depending on whether or not I can get hold of a ticket for Megadeth
