Anyone seen anything about tickets on sale yet? Or is it a turn up on the night job? Come to think of it, do we actually know for sure where it is and all that?

Going to see the Pet Shop Boys beforehand in Hammersmith, then grab a taxi to Clapham. Probably going to find a hotel somewhere near Waterloo, as definitely won't be able to get public transport back home at that time on a Bank Holiday Monday morning!
It's a "get in at 8.55 and drink water til 11.00" job by the sound of it - twelve notes? Party at my old flat afterwards, I've still got the keys ;)
How about just a party at your old flat from the get go!
You'd probably play better tunes as well!

Is there a spare bit of floor space at your old flat, Tim? Would be a lot cheaper than the 100 notes a hotel will set me back in Waterloo...
Not entirely sure the current tenants will welcome any of us there, but as it will be 4am and we'll be pissed, they may not have any choice 
No idea who lives there now, it's probably changed hands several times in the last three years, maybe even locks too. May be best to just take something with sleep-denying qualities and sit it out until the greasy spoons open at 6am. Should only be a couple of hours.

Good question - haven't decided as yet...!

Well, if we can make our way to Barbican, there's a 24 hour American diner there - Tinseltown?
The Wimbledon one would have been a lot closer, but typically it's the one that isn't 24/7 :(
Could be up for this one! Got a Rufus wainright gig at my work then over there afterwards. So will be there about 11pm. Is it the usaul suspects. Good to see you all again. Greg

Quite like that- suttle but to the point

Qualidee. You used to always find me in there of a Saturday morn'.
Something to do with its close proximity to the Gallery me thinks?
Popular with taxi drivers too, which is always a good sign.
Having said that the tea/cawfee are shite. Best treat yourself to a milk-shake, they never go wrong with them!

Yes, the chocolate bar milk shakes are fantastic - a blended choc bar (Mars, being my favourite), mixed with ice cream and shake - perfect way to get the energy levels back up after an all-night club, awaiting the first tube/train home! 
The best place to go after Fabric - many a night spent there...
I was thinking of going to this but if I went it would mean I have to go down to London on the Saturday, come home on the Monday and then I'm back down there (on my way to New York 
)on Wednesday.....
Probably not the best idea then!
Just spent all day traipsing round 'Arrods (I could spend all day in their food bar - it's a foodyphile's delight in there, really it is! Buffalo mozzarella to just die for! (And just how gay does that sound?)).
Can't believe I've got to throw on some slap and get all the way back Darn Sarf. 
EDIT: Just rolled in so thought I'd post a quick review. First impressions were that I thought Hooky would totally BOMB in this venue. Defo NOT his crowd at all. Way too Clapham (Clarm!) and none of those in attendance probably knew who the fcuk he was anyways.
Opened with the Vikings theme (fair play!) and then played that dance track that goes Hac-i-enda over and over. Lots of dance stuff for most of the night and nish geetars, bar a bit of Killers and Libertines. Only real song that bombed was JD's Disorder. Totally cleared the dancefloor that one. And he has a nasty habit of fading out both his Chems' tracks (Out of Control, and Galvanize) way too early leaving most punters totally perplexed.
Good to hear a blast of Just Jack though!
Special mentions to Warren (stood at the bar for an hour on his tod before me, Gem and Leggy bowled in) and also to Greg who stood outside in the driving rain (despite our best efforts with the doormen to get him in) all on his own 'til they let him pass! Hooky must've been on for 1.5hrs before he got through the doors at close on 1am (and the first thing GG did upon arriving was to bowl straight over to Hooky to say Hello!)
Oh, and if anyone's interested: Hooky confirmed to Leggy that he is now defo EX New Order. 
Hooky and the WhiteHouse were both better than I'd expected.
Even getting blown out didn't put a downer on a good night.
Her loss
Felt guilty leaving Greg on his own :\ohwell: Was up since 6am and had to be in work today. Sorry, fella. I owe you a beer.
Uncle Liam wrote: So Greg should be getting that sometime around christmas then!
He'll get it before I buy you another one
