I'm off to see NIN/JA tonight at the O2
and don't have to worry about getting a train home as we have a room booked in a flea pit somewhere near Victoria tube station.

As such, can anyone recommend anywhere that's still going to be open for a few beers once the gig kicks out and we have made our way back across the city? We were thinking of hitting the Intrepid Fox as it's not far from where we're crashing but are generally open to suggestion!

Your first problem will be getting back to Victoria
I hope the Jubilee line is running. It took me close to five hours to get home after I saw Metallica.

I've never seen a more orderly and polite mass of people trying to get on the tube
as I saw after I saw Metallica at the O2. got on the second tube along and was back at my bro's in brockley in about 30 minutes.

You had a tube!?
You lucky Bastard! I had to get a fucking bus along with tens of thousands of people. I was like a bloody refugee situation, people were rocking the bus and banging on the windows.

Sounds like the buses that take you back from the Alexandra Palace
Although there's a hell of a lot less distance to travel on them

At first I read it as NINJA
and thought "Huh?"
But now I'm jealous because you're seeing two brilliant bands.

Who does JA stand for then?

(Bazongaloid, Wed 15 Jul 2009, 10:36, Reply)

I'm assuming it's Jane's Addiction
I should look really. It could be John Alford...

That's the one!
Just a shame I'm going to be seated about 1/2 a mile away from the stage. Still, at least I'm there.

The o2 is surprising in that even seated near the back
you still feel pretty close to the stage.

Yep indeed.
