Thanks all for the kind words and wishes.
The Pilot Inn? Is that the place to be before the show? I'll look it up, I'd love to meet as many characters from here as possible. (How do you guys recognize each other??)

It turned out to be "easy" for YOU! Nice video. Congrats again.

To find the people at the pub, you could wear the gorilla suit and hold up a cardboard sign the says, "IORR", and they'll find you! Have fun!

Funny riverrat! However, after many hours of chasing me around from site to site during our shoot, I don't think my wife will be very happy seeing my gorilla suit in public ever again. I might just stick with the cardboard iorr sign :-)

By smell.

Come out of North Greenwich station, turn right and walk away from the 02 in the opposite direction. Pilot Inn is about 800 metres away on the other side of a little park. Easy enough to find if you're sober.

Hello & good morning all.
Loving London! Arrived yesterday morning with my wife.
We caught Bobby Womack last night at The Forum (he wrote the Stones' first UK #1 "It's all over now", no?). Really good soulful show, but his voice got tired around mid-set where he kind of let the 3 back vox take over. He apologized for his voice at the end of the show - really sweet.

Of course, we hung around all the Stones stuff at Carnaby during the day.
(Tried posting pictures here but it's not working)

I found out yesterday that a meet & greet is not part of my winning package. I really wanted to shake their hands and thank them.
I'll just have to scream my thank you's from the pit (I assume that's where they'll put us)

Tonight we're gonna catch Alanis Morrisette at the O2 (my wife's idea)
It'll be strange being in the same room where the Stones will be the next day.

Fantastic, bustabutton! When they tweeted the winning photo, I laughed out loud and said yeah, that guy deserves to win. And it's also great that the prize went to one of us on IORR. Enjoy!!

Hey bustabutton,

Sounds like you are doing up the trip in style!
Keep having fun and do everything!

Alanis will be great, she rocks!
You'll be thanking your wife for that one.

I know there is a place called Shepherd's Inn. Surely they must serve a decent Shepherd's pie! But maybe a Londoner should help you with this. Maybe they serve a Shepherd's pie at the Pilot Inn?

Just got my tickets. Man, they're in section 409!! Way up in the rafters!
Not being ungrateful, but I did expect something a bit closer to the stage.
Happy to be there, happy to be anywhere (in there)
I'll have a drink for each of their 50 years, God bless 'em.
I'm off to The Pilot...
