well it's been confirmed my friends have let me odown or rather they dont like prince and really cant b assed to travel to manchester to meet a abunch of mad fans!! i'm going alone please help me need to know where to stay and how to recognise u people in the barxxx

I know the Malmaison hotel is probably the nearest. I've no idea what the prices are like, as there's all night trains from Manchester to where I live, so I've never had to stay over.

You can ring them on:-
0161 278 1000


As for recognising us, here's a link to a pic of me (for some reason I can't post it):-

Any other people attending care to post a pic to help Cammile identify us lot?

Or does anybody have anything we could use to identify our table, like a Xenophobia calendar or a Prince action figure or a big, wooden ?

To be honest with you Cammille, I've never been to a meet up before either. I've met Markk a couple of times, as we live in the same time but that's it. He's never met any other orgers either. I imagine a lot of us are in the same boat?

There is a good hotel search facility on www.theaa.com
Search by location , price etc. There are many low priced hotels in Manchester at weekends. You can get a room in the city centre for £35-£40 and it's just a drunken stroll to your bed after leaving the pub.

Personally I would recommend The Ibis

http://www.theaa.com/hotels/106844.html

This is on Portland Street , just across Piccadilly Gardens from Dry Bar.

There are plenty of Premier Lodges in Manchester in Manchester. Shouldn't have a problem finding a hotel. Which hotel is anyone else staying at. We could all try and get in the same one?

Also, Predominant came last time on his own and for some strange reason he didn't have any problems distinguishing us from everyone else.

We might be organising a meal before hand so it will make it easier for everyone. Let's see what happens.

I nearly got my head kicked in though, came very close to asking a bunch of lads if they liked If I was your Girlfriend

I had to stand around and make guesses based on how sad people looked!! I was half pissed before I heard Themellowone (I had focussed on this group as the most likely) mention Maceo and I went in for the embarrasment.

Very bizzare thing to have to do but quite painless. I had a good night, pissed off that I can't make it again I will have to leave the dancin' to Savage, you can deputise a new partner mate, I trust you.

Savage - you're a cheeky sod! "so, so" dancer am i??? Hmm!
Cammille - I'll wear my org t-shirt so you can recognise me, or shall we all be freaks and wear something purple? (I'm kidding before someone suggests that is a good idea!)
Col - looking forward to seeing you again!!!

Is Red coming?

So help me out here? Who's definitely in? altho I realise that in 3 weeks a lot can change and everyone will drop out as usual!

This is the nearest hotel. Right on the corner. Never stayed in it myself so can't comment but it is so close you could fall out of it and land in Dry bar!

I'm definately up for this. Count me in!
