Not sure about pubs for afters near the venue, plus they'll all be quite crowded on a Saturday, but if people fancy a natter I'd recommend we get a (frequent) metro train from Exhibition Centre back into town. 'Box' is a good place, will be open late and has a proper music theme (plus free Tunnocks' teacakes at the bar!) - it's walkable from the Hydro, though it takes 20 minutes, but either Glasgow Central or Queen Street puts you in reach of nearly everywhere.
Deeply excited for this. I hope they play Lipgloss and Party Hard and Tina and Grown Ups and everything else.

Kinda wish I'd chosen this instead of Dublin as you're likely to get more Pulp (no support it seems, while there is in Dublin) plus Scottish and Irish crowds are the best, let's be honest.
Enjoy, though! I remember the first time I met you after Bridlington, you were still in open-mouthed shock at seeing Pulp for the first time.
Cannot believe that we got all of those songs. Also, they started with three new ones and the crowd LOVED it.
Slow Jam, Grown Ups, and Tina were the three I really wanted, and we got them!
Seconds, Acrylic Afternoons, The Fear, OU, HELP THE AGED... That's more like it!
Such an excitable, happy gig that when Mis-Shapes slotted seamlessly into the second set it really felt like it was capturing a moment once again. Everyone seemed to be in high spirits, with Mark and Jarvis improvising choreography for his solo. It was riotous.
Also, you may have noticed that there was a new line added to the start of the spoken word bit in Got to Have Love: "Don't drum on the barricades." It certainly sounded like that's what he said, and that may have been because of me. Sorry, Jarvis. Thank you for booping my finger during Acrylic Afternoons though. I'm literally never washing it again.
