End of the night...?

[Christoph]

This is a question for the people who travel to London to go to Bangface, or indeed anywhere else.

As we are unable to crash round our mates house in London, we are wondering whether its best to try and stay up all night and get the earliest train back (which would be an amazing achievement for us sleepyheads) or to book a hostel (which will damage our wallets somewhat). We are going, one way or another, but I just wondered what other people do in this situation, as we don't very often venture away from home and could do with some advice!

Cheers

Stay until the end and grab an early train home, its the best way as long as you dont over-do it too early on in the night

which actually for bangface, is quite difficult as its bloody good fun what what

Well that's exactly the point, if it gets to, say 3 oclock and we have had our fill we are stuck there whether we like it or not - I like having the knowledge that Ive got somewhere to go if I get too sleepy/messy

Get the first train. BF kicks out at 6am and by that time Angel Tube is just about open and you can get yourself to a station. I have a bit of a homing instinct when the sun starts to come up... anything else but my own bed simply isn't good enough!

How can you even contemplate food at a time like the end of bangface?

The first train thing's not that bad so long as you go easy on the booze. When I used to get early trains back from St Pancras I'd often not bother with the tube and just walk straight down Pentonville Road to the station, which is a good way to bring yourself back into the real world from the Inflatable Technicolour Bangland Experience. It's also fun to observe the end-of-night zombies vs beginning of day joggernutters culture clash at early o' clock. Having a clean top to change into can do wonders in terms of making you feel a bit more human and presentable, and it's a good idea to have some less mental music handy on a li'l mp3 player if required.

First train back, can lead to some interesting incidents though. On the way back from the Rephlex night I got stuck in Tring station with a massive synth I'd bought before going to the show and a rucksack. For 2 hours. On my own, feeling like death. It was truly, truly horrible

Most of the time it's all good though, find a seat, hood up, sleep until home, taxi, bed, done!

...How can you have possibly have 'had your fill' of Bang Face by 3am?! .....

Stay until the end & stop being a pussy innit
