Beastie Board meeting London!

[Taco Zip]

To the lucky few, let's meet up in London! Maybe we can have diner before the show together?
Also wondering what hotel you guys stay.

[laura]

Absolutely!
We'll have great time..

[Kid Presentable]

Enjoy, London peeps. I’d love to know what sort of meals you all had (not joking).

Probably a 5-piece chicken dinner.

[Uru-Nitro]

So good!

btw, I don't know guys if you ordered a book too. I did, and I have to pick it the day of the event. The store is between Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market.

I've been in London few times and didn't find the food as poor as people use to say... and I'm from the land of the Mediterranean Diet :D

[b-grrrlie]

I can't find my passport so didn't buy a ticket either :(. Would've loved to come over, got enough flight points for free travel...

[laura]

So sad b-grrrlie :(
Anyway we've time enough to make this weekend special!

[CaptainSpock]

Please if anyone has a ticket I am desperate! Anyone think a second date is possible?

If they were to announce a second date they probably would have done that already. Also. looking at the venue agenda (day before and after are booked already) I don't think it will happen.

Hope you'll find your ticket!

[Taco Zip]

Booked my hotel in the Covent Garden area. I'll arrive in london Friady and leave Saturday.

[laura]

I didnt book the hotel/flight yet,
some of my friends and I might spend the whole weekend in london

[camo]

I tried to get me and Padster tickets but they sold out immediately. So gutted.

I know na§tee will be there.

Enjoy!

[brooklyndust]

I was waiting to get my Irish passport before planing a trip to Europe this winter and am toying with the idea of going to London for this tour, but can't obviously the tickets are sold out. (really wish the fans had more notice about the book tour, to plan accordingly, oh well)

If anyone has an extra ticket at fair price pm me.

[timmie]

I'm only down the road really from the venue and I cannot get tickets :( :( #gutted

:(
But hang around just in case....
You can still meet fans, maybe get a glimpse of the guys, get a ticket from a tout...

When Kate Bush played Hammersmith the other year there was tickets at the door just about every night as there's always people dropping out because illnesses or bad travels (but her gigs were at a bigger venue...).
Just don't loose hope. (y)

[laura]

There's a second date! Be ready!
29 Nov - O2 Forum Kentish Town
Beastie Boys Book Live & Direct featuring a conversation between MIKE D and Ad-Rock.

01 Dec - Waterstones Piccadilly
Beastie Boys Book Signing
http://smarturl.it/BBB_Waterstones

02Dec Brunch with me :rolleyes:

[queenautumn]

I'm so excited about the second date, but gutted by the fact that I might not get tickets again. Is anyone out there willing to help me out to get tickets? I will have to get out of work to get there now, and train tickets will cost more, but I'll do it. I'd appreciate any help from those who may already have tickets, and are faster with their fingers to help me out at 10 am Friday.

[timmie]

bagged me a ticket for meeting Mike and Adam and signing of book!!

See you there!!

[fonky pizza]

Is there a beastie boys event in London that is not sold out yet? What's the date? Where can i get tickets?
Thanks :)

[laura]

I dunno pizza girl, all events went soldout in minutes. Keep looking if there will be some extra tickets available (as it happened for Brooklyn event).
If you get the chance to come over London it will be great to see you :)

[b-grrrlie]

So you even need tickets for the book signing event? :confused:

[laura]

Yep. You buy a ticket and then you have a book to get signed.

[Eoin MCL]

Just booked my flight from Ireland to London! Thanks to Taco Zip
I have a ticket to the show on the 30th! I will also be at the signing. Hoping to meet some of you at one or both events! Hyped!

[fonky pizza]

No more tickets. Come to europe! :cool:

[laura]

So, is anyone joining on Friday?!

[Uru-Nitro]

I'm attending from Spain... still don't know my schedule, but it would be so nice meeting you all prior to the event!

btw I have one question: I've purchased a Beastie Boys Book (book Only - Collection) via seetickets, and I'm supposed to pick it up from the Rough Trade East store... but I don't have any kind of receipt or ticket (besides the entry tickets or the email confirmation order)
do you think I can get the book just by giving my name?

anyone on the same situation? only me? :D

[beastiegirl]

So is anyone going to Kentish Forum on Thursday and wants to meet up before? I'm travelling down from Manchester and going on my tod.

[Taco Zip]

I'll be in London Friday around 14:00h. If anyone wants to meet up, let me know!
PM me your phone number and I'll set up an whatsapp group.

I'll be there with the gf. We will be in London around late lunchtime for a quick bit of sightseeing here and there, then probably go for a drink somewhere near the theatre. What time are you hitting London?

[fonky pizza]

Unfortunately not. I didn't manage to find tickets on time and organise my trip.
But I am happy with my book! I had it for my birthday!

Have fun yoy guys remember meeting most of you in Milan for the paegent tour! :o

I'm going both nights now as manage to snag a ticket for Friday too. I'll probably meet up with my friend Thursday afternoon and probably grab some food with her, then head over to one of the pubs in Kentish Town for 6.30-7.00ish.

[peterclamp]

Nice, both nights! Well we'll be wearing Beastie Boys tops if that helps ha. Look for a tall bloke with a very short girl :)

[peterclamp]

We're on our way! No idea how to post links to photos, but here's one on my Instagram if it works!?

Is the merchandising worth it? Im on the line outside and its crowded. I dont know if take a look at the expo or just go for the good seats

[M|X|Y]

looking forward to stories(y)

[Taco Zip]

ok, here's my weekend recap!
After arriving at Heathrow and taking the train to London town, I met up with Jerome and drank a few beers. Then Laura joined us, and we found a place to have diner together. We took an uber to the venue, and the line was already around the corner! Lucky us, we found Eoin and Haero from the board halfway down the line and joined in. 4 board members down the line already!
When the venue opened the doors, things went quite fast.
Too bad the exposition did not make it to London. We all looked forward on seeing that stuff.
After some waiting we were able to enter the arena. The place where the show was was a really old building in some kind of roman theatre setting. We sat somewhere halfway up and met more board people (Uru Nitro was there!). The place was packed.
The show itself was really great. Funny stories, emotional moments, I really enjoyed watching it. I did not read the whole book yet so some of the stories were new to me. The fish eye pic series from the Paul's Boutique era was awesome!
After the show we had a beer in the venue's lounge, and all of the sudden Mix Master Mike showed up for some pics, which was a surprise. Very friendly guy.

Next day I got up early to get in line for the book signing. I was at the bookstore around 10. There were 2 people there already (I met Paul Sid who is a really nice guy) but the queue got longer pretty fast. Haero (Andrea) joined me after a short while and during waiting we talked a bit about music and stuff. Eventually we were able to enter the building and were taken downstairs into the queue.
The signing itself went really fast. We shook hands and I thanked the boys for the inspiration and the music. I had some other things in mind to ask, but time was limited and I had to make way for the next in line already. Unfortunately it wasn't possible for the boys to write down my name in the book, but I can imagine that writing 1.000 autographs is a bit much work already. They were very friendly though, especialliy Adam who was very responsive to what I was saying.
After the signing Haero and I had lunch and (more) beers. After lunch we joined Laura and Eoin in the queue who were at the very end of it.
We had some coffee afterwards, and then I rushed back to the airport because I had to play at a gig myself in Holland.
In short, one great weekend!

[camo]

Me and the Padster went on the Thursday, it was the first time I'd ever met anyone from the board, but fortunately I found him to be a lovely chap and an exceedingly considerate lover.

The gig was great, but £120 for a hoody? Nah, bruv.
