LugRadio Live – Friday

Last Weekend I went down to Lug Radio Live in Wolverhampton.

A great weekend it was too.

I got down there about 5ish Friday, then waiting about 30min for Junior ‘s (sward) train to arrive (he missed the one he was meant to be on). As it was the first time either of us had been to Wolverhampton we took a taxi to the Quality Hotel (via the wrong one thanks to a taxi driver who miss-heard sward). We both checked in and went to unpack. I got into my room and bloody hell it was hot. I found out later they had heating problems and the heating was jammed on full which given the weather really didn’t help. The room was pretty good, especially at the cheap rate Jono from Lug Radio had secured for everyone.

Predictably we headed off the bar for a drink, and ended up drinking a fairly warm pint of Murphy’s – main due to that fact that was the only thing worth drinking, plus given the heating issues everything was generally warm. We hung around for a while and eventually bumped into a few other people who where down for lugradio. At about 8 we set off in a big group walking into Wolverhampton, through the grubby subway system a few times. We arrived at the Hogshead and had another drink, and then went out for something to eat. The eating party soon split up into 2, one lots went for a curry and the group I was in when for a Chinese all you can eat. It was pretty good and much needed – I always get very Hungary after a long journey. We went back to the party at Hogshead for another few, but after the filling Chinese and the fact I needed sleep we headed off back to the hotel – getting a bit lost on the way back. Took the wrong initial subway, ended up in the right second lot anyway, but then went up the wrong side off the exit and headed up the wrong road. We eventually got back to the hotel after realising what we had done and backtracking. Spent the next hour talking to some people outside the hotel who where here for lugradio and then headed off to bed (well into the oven).
