Metarie Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Ok, so off to see them on the 13th and having trouble finding hotels and maybe a place to go afterwards. Anyone have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 See them and come back. Problem solved! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted December 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 we shall, but inbetween there will be drinking and much merriment, hence the need for somewhere to sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 Aye, what the hell is everybody doing in Dunfermline these days?Either way, I found this place: Pitbauchlie House Hotel, Dunfermline | LateRooms. which looked pretty good. Laterooms'll show you some places and depending on how many folk you're going with it'll show you prices and that (plus, it's only about a half hour's walk from the venue).Alternatively, (and this is what me and my friends are doing) is getting bus to Glasgow, bus to Dunfermline, seeing gig, getting 11:20pm night bus back to Glasgow, staying there and then getting bus back here. Mainly because getting to Dunfermline by train is a task and a half and we can stay in Glasgow for free. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metarie Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 ah, we're driving you see. Although going to Glasgow would have been a good plan. Is there actually anywhere to go after the gig in Dunfermline? I think it could turn into an early night which would be quite disappointing.

I think it could turn into an early night which would be quite disappointing.I went through to a gig in Dunfermline on a Tuesday and there was nothing opened. The only thing we found was the pub that we had dinner in!Although, you just never know what gem of a place you might find! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Does anyone know if there's a late night (say 11pm onwards) train/bus service to Dundee (or Aberdeen, preferably!) running? I've had a scan about but can't really find anything.If I can't find a way of getting to Dundee/Aberdeen that night I'll have a ticket for sale...

The Pitbauchlie is a swish establishment, don't know how much they'd skin you for a room though. As for post-gig drinking, try Monty's on Guildhall Street. A friendly bunch. Or why not try Legends on Halbeath Road... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scotrail website isn't very clear and as far as I can see there's only 1 train that goes to Dunfermline and that's from Edinburgh. But that can't be right.

Last train from Glasgow's nae that late either, megabus back from Glasgow's around the same time too. Only thing I could think of would be getting a lift?Pitlauchie, for a three-people room was about 70 last week, which isn't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullmouse Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Try looking at train times through Inverkeithing, and just get a taxi down there instead. Shouldn't cost you too much, but Dunfermline train station is pointless - You'll catch all the trains from Edinburgh to Aberdeen via Inverkeithing.As for things to do in Dunfermline in the evening, you could try standing outside the local chip shop or throw some bricks through windows. At least, when I went to school there that's all anyone seemed to do at night. Lovely place.EDIT - Actually, just checked with Trainline.com and the latest train to Aberdeen via Inverkeithing is 9:47pm. Useless, I guess.

Elizabeth Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Doors are 7pm, my guess is two supports with 30/45min sets each so Biffy on about 9? Can't be sure though, 'cause I've got no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metarie Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I didn't like them Every song they played ripped off a riff or beat from another band and they had no stage presence what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I love Sucioperro. I quite liked their set too; their new stuff's sounding pretty decent. I don't think anybody got my shout for Virginia though. The only thing I didn't like about the gig was the three neds in front of us who were, quite blatantly, only there to be dickheads. However, they moved further into the middle during Biffy's set so all was well.Fucking 27, though. YAS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
