I would suspect that more than anything I would be hungry... so my first priority would be to try and find a vegan meal in the land that brought us haggis and blood pudding ! And I would assume it would be a good idea to get to SECC at least an hour before showtime in order to claim a spot at the very front of the stage! That is, assuming that security is as lax as it has been everywhere else!

So which hotel are you staying at? I'll be at Menzie's- over by the M8 motorway and near the banks of the River Clyde...

I'd advise a little more than an hour if you can manage it. I'm staying at a hostel in the city centre. I think I know the hotel you're at and if I'm right then it's not too far from the venue.

Here is a myspace link for mono, a vegan restaurant in Glasgow city centre. It's meant to be very good, or so Ive heard anyway. http://www.myspace.com/monoglasgow

There's also a place called Stereo on Renfield Lane, which is just off Renfield Street in the city centre too.

If you are eating somewhere in the centre then transport to the venue will be no problem. Taxi or train from Central Station.

By the way... You can get vegan Haggis, it's just made with meal and spices instead of meat. As for the sheeps stomach part, it's actually quite rare to get one wrapped in that these days!

I checked out Stereo... it sounds pretty neat, although I have to wonder what vegan haggis could possibly taste like. Buddah willing, I plan to walk to SECC from the hotel- no rain in the forecast... yet! Stereo looks like a pretty short walk too... Oct. 22, get here now!

Veggie haggis is fine. It all depends on the quality of the meal that is used. Known as skirlie, it can be horribly dry if not prepared well but if done right it can be delicious. I rarely have it though, on the few ocassions I have haggis it has meat in it.

The Gallery Bistro, as part of SECC, is worth a look for food, pre-gig.
