British Release of Guitar Hero 3!

It's probably blasphemy for me to be a yank making this topic, but I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a get-together in London for the release of Guitar Hero 3?

I'm going to be in London sending my parents off to the airport on Saturday, the 24th of November (day after release) and I was wondering if any of you guys would be up for a get-together.

I cannot host this as I don't live in London, lol, but if anyone is willing to volunteer their place for a meet up on that day I'd be all for it. I don't have money for a hotel for the night, so I'm guessing it would just last all day and we'd leave in the evening (well, I would anyway, I'm sure the rest of you will play into the wee hours of the morning).

Any takers? I'd like for at least 5 people to sign up before I change my train ticket.

Those attending:
GuitarHailz
thecaptainof
Mikeybaby
b08smith

I'd be up for it, but i doubt my parents would let me attend, because of internet risks etc. But what airport will you be at? It might be relatively me. Although i probably couldn't host either, considering how small my house is.

What console would you be planning to buy gh3 on? i mean, would you be providing the gamr to play? If we can get a decision on platform before hand, people may be able to bring custom discs etc along, or customized controllers...

Count me in, not based in London though and don't currently have a house (working on that one, come on mortgage approval!) but I'll drive up to meet some fellow UK SH members.

Should have a 360 copy of the game and possibly 2 controllers (Could easily bring the console too if needed.)

Be nice to get my arse kicked by some good players.

Awesome! If any of you have other UK buddies that play, bring them along. Still no official host of this, but it sounds like the 360 version would make the most sense to play on.

I'll try to PM the people that were interested in the WSVG get-together and see if they're interested in this one.

To be honest I don't know why I'm considering my housemates in this - they'll be fine as long as the place doesn't get destroyed... and anyway, they'll probably join us if there's booze going on. I still have a couple of concerns about offering to host though:

Like I said around the planning of the WSVG meetup, the communal area in the place I'm living this year is about half the size of the one we had last year. Any more than about ten people (including the four of us that live here) and it can be a bit crowded. It's doable, just don't expect to be sitting down.

As it happens, one of my housemates is very unlikely to be around by then so that's one less body... hm.

Also, where we are is a bit out of the way, off the beaten track y'might say. It only takes half an hour to get into central London on the train but still that might involve extra planning for people in terms of getting home and stuff.

...so yeah. This isn't to say that I absolutely won't host it, just that there are limits to what I can do, really.

Got directed to this thread by GuitarHailz (should really check this section more often...), and I'm probably gonna be up for this. If I'm correct, this is in the same week as the Mono concert on the 20th, so this'll be the 2nd time I go into London that week (and possibly the 2nd time I meet thecaptainof, too)...if I'm right in thinking that the 24th is a saturday, I'm more than game as I'm not working.

Add me to the list, I reckon. Thanks to thecaptainof for offering to host (provisionally) too!
