Entry: Going to a gig in Camden? - A1080695
Author: Kate - U33022

This is just a quick guide for getting round Camden to gigs.
I know for experience that a lot of these places are impossible to find.

What are your intentions for this one Kate? Are you thinking about getting it edited, or would you be looking to send it somewhere like The Post or the Underguide? Either way, we could sure do with an entry like this on h2g2

I'm not sure, I've only just started again under the 'new' system (well, new to me, anyway).
Where do you think would be best?

It could easily go either way.

If you want to put it into Peer Review you'll have to take out all first person references and opinions.

If you want to keep it as a personalised entry then it will have to go towards The Post, Agg/Gag, or the Underguide.

I've just edited it a bit.
Do you reckon it could go in for peer review now?

Not quite yet, but I reckon it's getting close

I'll have to leave it until tomorrow to go into more detail though - it's getting late, Family Guy's on tv, and Mrs Gosho is giving me a rather look

alright.
thanks very much for being so patient with me!

Ok.

Firstly, you'll probably be asked to rename the entry - something like 'Hard to find venues in Camden, London, UK'. It sounds a bit wieldy and boring, but that's the way the Eds like edited entry titles.

Have you tried using GuideML yet? It would really benefit this entry, and it's not difficult to learn - hell... I did It's not absolutely necessary as long as an entry is quite nicely laid, and yours is

If you do learn to use GuideML, you can include links to other edited Guide entries (edited entries can only link to other edited entries), and links to outside sites, like this one which I found in an edited entry about Camden Market http://www.theworldsend.co.uk/pubs/worldsend/worldsendmap.htm

If you also write more of an intro to your entry - describing Camden a bit more, you could also include a link to the Camden Market entry A786404

I could have sworn there was also an entry about Camden tube station in PR, but apparently it's not in there

Escelators is spelt escalators.

Perhaps you could give a brief description of each venue - what kind of music, what the clientele are like, what you might expect at chucking out time...

Is this all of the venues in Camden? Are there any others you could include to make it more comprehensive (but not too long - I know there are quite a few ).

How's that to be going on with?

I meant 'quite nicely laid *out*' of course

Thanks ever so much, I will have a go and get back to you.

I've had a go with GuideML and adding a bit more detail about the atmosphere and soforth.

I've only written aout venues I know. The only significant one I can think of that I've not listed is Dingwalls and I'll be going there in a week or so, so I'll be able to update that then.

what do you think?

Wow, you really got the hang of that It looks superb

What about the Jazz Cafe? Is that still in Camden?

yeah, it is. i mentioned that you pass it on the way to the dublin castle, but i've never been and i don't know anything about it really.

So you did

I reckon this is pretty much ready for PR if you don't have any other venues to add If you do want to add the Jazz Cafe, there's bound to to be someone in Peer Review who knows about it.

You'll have to take it out of this forum before you can submit it to PR, and when you fill in the submission box, add a link to this conversation so that people commenting in PR can see how the entry has progressed.

I don't know if you've put anything into PR before - if not, be warned - the criticism there can be somewhat harsh, but only because we want the best to get into the Edited Guide

See you there

I should have checked your PS - you've been here a good while Much longer than me. You must have been one of the first to sign up

To remove the entry from the Writing Workshop, click on the Writing Workshop link at the top of this conversation, locate the entry in the list (it should be at or close to the top, having just been posted to), and click on either the 'x' or the word 'remove' (depending on which skin you use) next to it.

The 'Submit Entry' button should reappear on the entry itself (it might happen straight away or take a few hours), then you just go through the same process of submission as when you put it here, but choose Peer Review from the dropdown menu.

The link should look like this:
