Poptimist Birthday Drinkies

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

HOORAY! It's poptimists first birthday drinks!

HOORAY! Top indie band Shimura Curves are playing Upstairs At The Garage tonight!

The qn is, can these two Hooray!s peacefully co-exist, i.e. are enough people planning on going to see the Muries that it would be worth having the drinks in Islington, or should we go somewhere less Northern and fans of the Shimmies can pop in and then move on?

I have chosen NOT to express this dilemma in poll form, but if you were planning on coming out and having a poptimist drink tonight then let me know in the comments box where you'd like it and I'll make a decision after lunch.

(Also I've realised I know zero about pubs in that bit of Islington.)

The Compton Arms is very small though, isn't it?

I would prefer:

a) something in the very near vicinity of H&I station
b) NOT THE BIG DOG'S COCK.

My suggestion is the Hope and Anchor:
