Glasgow GTG January 2011

Just so we don't clog up other threads

Limey, were you thinking of Cossachok?
It look amazing.

I would just have gone to Yo! Sushi again

Well, I get 30% off for being a member and I know I like it so why not.

But I'm always up for a new experience.

Be-Bop, if you read this before I PM you, you are included on the invite list. As are any other Dwellars who are likely to be in the area of course.

Absolutely, Cossachok is owned by friends of mine and the food is fabulous! In fact we should eat there on the Sunday night and enjoy the live music!
I'm in for two nights at the Alamo as well, dearie!

OMG - ajjiika, lobio, chakhokhbili, kutuzov cake aaaaaaarhghghghghhhhhh

Right. Have booked a ticket for the matinee (Sun 9th 2pm) Row D!

Am now awaiting a response from the Alamo regarding room booking.

Sundae · 02-05-2010, 04:45 AM

WHOOOOP! WHOOOOP!
Is Limey coming to the matinee too? Are you going for a single in the Alamo?

The menu in Cossachok looks fantastic.
I'm already drooling and I have 11 months to go.

Sundae · 02-05-2010, 06:53 AM

My ticket just arrived

Now is the time to let slip to Mum that it's a Cellar occasion...

DanaC · 02-05-2010, 06:59 AM

i believe Limey is in for the matinee too

I just booked a room at the Alamo for two nights!

They were slightly confused, as they'd already booked a single room for those two nights and thought I was that person :P I explained that'd be my friend lol

I ended up booking a standard double room; because they only have two singles and one of them is already booked. Figured that'd probably be Limey: didn't want you left with a double if you wanted a single.

Also means at least one of us has a bigger room to congregate in if we wish

You can always blame me SG. Tell your Mum that I am making a surprise visit from the US and took the last cinema ticket! That way, I can blame you next time I get out of dragging my mom on a girls night out! LOL

Woot!

I requested mine for pickup at the venue

Sundae, have you actually booked your room at the alamo yet? If you want me to book it on my card and pay me when we get to Glasgow I can do that?

limey · 02-05-2010, 07:30 AM

Um ... I'm all booked and ready to go. The Alamo won't know what's hit 'em!

Sundae · 02-05-2010, 07:43 AM

I'm already booked in at the Alamo - I'm the one with the single. They have my prepay credit card number, but it's only held in case of cancellation, so I didn't bother to tell them that it never has any money on it - what they don't know won't hurt them

After all, I have no intention of cancelling and I'll pay cash when I get there.

I showed Mum the ticket, it seemed the easiest way.
I'd told her I would be booking for Glasgow when we got back from Cardiff, and we've been back nearly two weeks now. She didn't seem upset - she implied that she had decided not to come - maybe she really did or maybe she just thinks she did, we certainly didn't discuss it. Anyway I told her about meeting you two and she was genuinely excited for me. I dangled the idea that of course she could still choose to come at a later date, but I'm pretty sure she won't. She said, "Of course I would have come if it had been Edinburgh. But at least I know you won't be on your own now."

All seems to have worked out amicably. Good - I really didn't want to hurt her feelings... but I really wasn't keen on a repeat! Anyway, I can't imagine she'll want to do the overnight coach, and that's certainly the cheapest option for me. £25 return!

limey · 02-05-2010, 07:51 AM

And we fully expect some updates too!!

skysidhe · 02-05-2010, 08:08 AM

I am happy happy happy for you all!...oh and a little wistful but mostly happy

Sundae · 02-05-2010, 08:09 AM

I didn't blame you this time, Juju. I'm holding that offer for future use!

Oh yes, lots of updates and pics and general frivolity are to be expected. Let's just hope there isn't a huge Cellar-war with the three of us in opposing camps in the mean time!

Sky - get saving and come too!

skysidhe · 02-05-2010, 08:14 AM

If I were free and unfettered I would!
