Are you a stripper?
Well among those who will attend, those who won't be careful with drinking alcohol not too much, might end stripping at some time lol!
I know that wasn't funny.
Surely if you're coming you'll be looking at tickets by now pops? It's a month away and if you leave it too much longer flight prices will jump. Same with you Juliette.

Odder bar is pretty close to the station, plays a real eclectic mix of music from indie, to Dubstep, tp hip hop. And during the day it's at a level everyone can still chat and have a beer. Does bacon butties too
Courtyard is a bit of a distance away from picadily, but it has 2 pool tables and flat screens with all sorts of football on and cheap beer. And a bouncer with the fastest Nice guy to MONSTAH gear change in the world when it comes to people acting up.
Font bar always has a good atmosphere, gets busy and if anyones inclined does good price cocktails. The amstel on tap does it for me.
As for clubs, 42's is a pretty grubby little basement club but good price drinks, and the music is a decent mix of indie/hip hop the students love it. 5th avenue is similar, and has a pub right next to it called the garrat that has a top atmosphere but gets rammed.
factory has a real mix, 3 rooms, indie rock & roll, funk/soul/motown, and a techno/house room. I've been but i'll be honest i was smashed, barely remember the place.....same with Venue which i once had a good night in. So im told.
One central has a good saturday night, but probably only i'd be interested with it being dubstep/rnb/hip hop/dnb
Thanks for the info Tek. Erm... Odder sounds like a fair place to start after that we can head somewhere for food.. perhaps if we can locate a Wetherspoons as they're usually excellent for drink prices and do a more than reasonable range of food, not to mention they generally have outstanding premises to sit in. All else fails it's Manchester. There are take-aways (cheesy chips = win).

Poke Mark (Heaven Seeker) to see if he's going
ps: I should know in the next few days whether I can make it. If I can, what's the plan so far? ie: arriving, departing for train tickets...and potential accommodation?

Yes I will have a look at tickets for planes, probably going to go with Ryan Air, not expensive...and no strikes (afaik). As for hotel/whatever, well...I guess before anything I will have to mark places where I should look for that lol.

Had a decent look at coach tickets and me and Dan should be arriving 3.30 at Manchester coach station. We need to be somewhere not too far from the Courtyard that Tek talked about because my Aunt is dropping off the keys to her house where me and dan are staying and she works 3mins from the Courtyard.
Booking the tickets tomorrow.
Cant help you with accommodation Repli but we are planning to meet at/around the train station at/ around 3pm.
Should we have an msn group convo about this at some point? Finalize details, exchange numbers blah blah.

Yes sounds like a good idea. PMs exchange wouldn't be sufficient imo.

It was not free to get, nor is it free to keep.. but as long as I meet the conditions, yes, it does.

i got odder bar mixed up with somewhere else, it's in the northern quarter. I'm now trying to remember where the place near the station is
But odder is a good spot to go to though even if it is a bit of a walk. Metro bus should go near it.
