Whoot

Accommodations are booked for our trip. We'll be at this place in London http://www.hotellondon.co.uk/ for a few days (thanks to the Di's for the tip). Its not fancy, but is cheap, and will serve its purpose. In Scotland, since we won't be able to stay for too long we'll base our center of operations (heh) in Edinburgh. We'll be staying here http://www.turret.clara.net/ thanks to the tip from Righinnbear (a friend of a LJ friend) which was reported by many as the best B&B they've stayed at in the UK, and was recommended by Rick Steve. We'll check in on the night of our 6th anniversary (awwww) so hopefully we'll find something special to do for dinner that night nearby (the B&B is about a mile from the downtown area).

I think we've resolved the petsitter thing (Jen, we need to have you for/take you to dinner to chat about it). Next, we'll be figuring out getting from London to Edinburgh and then the fun stuff - planning activities with all of the books you nice people have leant/bought us! :)

Anyone know of a good goth, metal or new-wave club in London that's not uber-exclusive that we'll need to know someone cool to get into? We'll have the weekend there and I'm looking forward to checking out some of the night life. :)

There are clubs where the DJs play metal. Membership not needed. This is a wonderful thing. Mich and I passed a couple walking through Soho but I can't remember their names. One of them proudly announced they were spinning Judas and Maiden.

Also try Gossips.It looks like sort of a Gothic Hobbit hole.

My suggestion is to go to Camden Town and pick up some flyers, particularly at some of the below-level record stores.

And yes, first thing you do grab a copy of What's On.
