I think that's taken care of, Pete. Not by me I hasten to add.
As I know so many people who are attending this shoot, I had been thinking about starting a roll call, however, as Murray has got the ball rolling already, let's go.
I hope others will come forward but the list so far is:
Murray
Kenny
Mike (BansheeUK)
Pete (The Cabby)
Sandy P (samjp4)
Ian + 3 (Ian916)
David (Currymandavid)
Phil (Wooders) & Kathryn (Mrs W)
Keith, Jamie & Andrew Pipe
I'm intrigued to know who else is coming from overseas and like David, I'm really looking forward to meeting up and putting faces to Forum names. 
It would be good to try to get there early so that we can meet up and chat before the serious business starts, which we all know is going to be absolutely awesome. 
A few of us are booked into the Mercure Parkside House on the east side of MK. Anyone else staying over?

Rest assured the Icons will be there too Phil.
Also booked into the Mercure (after speaking to Maggie - who you can also add to the list). Looked at the Travelodge, but the Mercure has a bar (open until 2am I believe) so there will be plenty of time for those staying there to catch up afterwards.
Looks like they have rooms left if anyone else is interested - I got a discounted rate through booking.com

Maggie has graciously offered to put up with me for this little long-weekend jaunt, but I very much appreciate the offer. The last time I saw these guys was courtesy of Phil and your very magical cab. I still can't believe I am doing this, but since Martin gave me a heads-up about this quite a while ago I had been contemplating it. When the stars aligned on the dates I decided I just couldn't pass this one up. After seeing them last year I knew this would be too special of a night to let something like a 3000 mile plane ride stand in the way. You should see the looks on my friends faces when I tell them I am going to London for a long weekend. Besides, Mr Meerkat misses Mini-Rat and his other buddies. Can't wait!

Now what did you have to go and say that for Ian? Telling me about a cheap hotel deal and using the words "bar open until 2am" caught my attention so I went and booked myself a room too (I'm easily led). No driving home for me now. Gonna be a fun evening.

Re: Virgil and the Accelerators
Let's see, 2am comes out to 9pm eastern - sounds good to me.
And Pete - is the washboard for you or the little one, and do you want spoons with that?
I believe Michael L. is coming that night as well.

This is going to be one hell of a night. Been listening in on the lads reworking and rehearsing some tracks, sounding mighty fine. Got one of the best sound engineers, top lighting company and a 10 camera crew. A lot of this fell into place by uncanny coincidences, which just adds to the positive vibe we have a about it. So far we have had tickets go out to the USA, Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Italy and all of the UK!!!! I might have a small amount of tickets to offer shortly, so if you know anyone who missed out, let me know.
WOW! Great to hear, Martin, Virgil & Guys. But arrrrhhh, and sorry (I cry, cry, cry), I don't think I can make it and I am grumbly about it.
But best of times about it, do it like it is already done! ..and don't overdo it (balanced against overdue , such as not to underdo ) it either. Good Luck! Sandy, enjoy (everyone else & band too)!!!

Re: Virgil and the Accelerators
I think I'll be sadder missing this than I will be about not coming to London in March. I will be comforted knowing so many of you will be there and I'll have a DVD in the future. Very exciting for all Cathy

Re: Virgil and the Accelerators
Recently saw these guys for the first time in Derby at the end of last month, damn awesome gig, besides playing from their
cracking debut album they had a great jam with Ron Sayer jr and finished of with a blistering version of 'Are You Experienced'!!!
Hope to catch them supporting Tracer at the Cockpit late September :-)

Re: Virgil and the Accelerators
Sounds like this Mercure Hotel/motel is a gathering place for most folk - would this be a good suggestion as a meeting place for folk to nurse a pre-show sherry before going on to help the lads raise the roof or are there other suggestions? I know Martin is trying to organise a bar at the venue.
