Meet-up in Oslo after the concert?

How about a meet-up in Oslo after the concert?

Maybe in the Radisson Blu (SAS) Plaza Hotel directly across the street.
http://www.radissonblu.com/hotels/norway/oslo

Its restaurant closes at 11 pm. But its bars are open longer:

Galway Bay
17:00 - 02:30

34 SkyBar
17:00 - 01:30

Or maybe someone with local knowledge has a better suggestion. - I suppose the bars in the Radisson Blu are rather expensive.

That is a great idea. I'm up for it, lest I during the concert find myself committing to Dance a young woman to the end of love (and back) that evening. :)

Well, you certainly come with high hopes. - Good luck.

Sounds good to me - have never been to Oslo before so somewhere near the venue is perfect.

sounds good--maybe the bar will supply some mermaids for us to dance with 'til closing time.

Always hope for the best, that way you can get utterly crushed and go on to make great art!

Or something, cheers anyhow!

I guess the hotel bar is expensive. A cheaper alternative is Cafe Fiasco, close to the hotel:

Perhaps I'll see some of you guys there?

Will anyone else be there, too?

Well good! After the gig, then? I might be caught up in the merchstand queue for a while.

I'll be the good looking fella in the hat and trench coat and suit. Gotta have the right gear on for Lenny, you know ;-)

Hey folks!

Pity we never met. I was there but I had no idea who might be from the forum, and I got to talking to some other folks and hung out with them. I was right by the bar though, dancing and having fun! :D The bright bar staff had put on a string of Cohen songs so everyone there were having a good time.

Awesome concert, except for the crowd not joining in for Hallelujah. Also he didn't play Avalanche :(
