What's the deal with food? I assume they sell snacks and stuff but is there somewhere to get lunch close by?

(Leicester's a major city so I would assume so).

Leicester is notorious for having no food for sale whatsoever.

Apart from the Space Centre and a work visit to a British Gas site I've generally avoided the place!

Classy town then. Looking forward to a slap up meal there (I've lost track of what page the schedule was on so I assume we'be built in time for a spot of lunch?

The venue http://www.quadstudios.co.uk lists Quaffs Café as one of the onsite facilities. No menus listed but I bet they do sarnies etc. I'm sure they'd be glad of our custom, plus it will make it easier for Bridgehead to cut deals with the studio in future if we patronise their café en masse.

Bridgehouse

Lunch is, um, a moveable feast - get it when you can! And I do believe they have a cafe on site. 

I am concerned @octatonic may disappear into the drum shop hole and never return tho

horse

I'm bringing sandwiches. Seriously, well cobs really if I make them before setting off. I wouldn't bet on the cafe being open, but who knows. Quad isn't exactly in the middle of a shopping centre, not sure where the nearest food would be - quick nip out in the car maybe

octatonic

Ok, good to know- I will bring something along with me.

Bridgehouse

I may be persuaded to do a sandwich run.

I've put an order in with my domestic goddess for a packed lunch, just to be sure I don't waste away during the day.

Weirdly Mrs B has literally this minute just said "do you want a packed lunch tomorrow?"

Sounds like the female radar system is in transmit mode

I'm driving about 250 miles each way and I'll be there at 11:13:23 along with @ChrisMusic. ;

If there's not a space for me, I'll ram the car in the marked "Boss" space and make room.

Considering I do about 50,000 miles a year, your little pop down the shops trip should be easy peasy 

However, toucha my car, and I'll probly ignore it.

I know we're supposed to be in tune before we get on stage...so shall I strip the tuner off my board and plug it in with a separate power supply somewhere else in the room? Tuning could be a nightmare with all the noise otherwise. 

Unless anyone has a spare tuning pedal?

I'll bring a spare polytune if I remember.

Who's going to be the first to be arrested for attempting just one more run through of their solo on the M1 tomorrow morning?

I'll bring a golden dildo just for you- only if you win, mind.

Bridgehouse

I'm not coming. Fuck you all.















Only joking. Setting off now. Bit misty out, mind...

Yup, another candidate here, who incidentally should be hitting the road!  Cya all there!
