Beers, Friday 2nd March?

Fysh · 2007-02-25 13:28:36

Right, it's been months since a bunch of us got together specifically with the intent on putting ourselves on the outside of a load of beer, so I think it's time the issue was addressed.

I say next Friday (2nd of March) at around 7. Not decided on the pub yet, though I'm thinking along the lines of Beale Street Blues Bar, Franciscan Well, or The Slate.

Who's in?

Go for one. Go on. Go on. You know you want to. Just one. That's all.

I'm going to Dublin the next day too, and I'm going!

(Course I'm not driving, but that's not the point!)

I'm in! I like beer!

Except that a) I don't know where the Slate is, and b) last time I wandered in for board beers, I had no idea which table was the board beerers. Rolled up newspaper? Rose in the lapel? A hint? A clue?

Ah, what the hell. It's been too long since the Loud Shirt Signal was used for identification purposes - look for the crowd of obnoxious drunks including some muppet wearing a blue hawaiian shirt, that'll be my good self.

Edited to add: Attached is a Google Earth Screenshot showing where the Slate is in relation to such fine Cork Landmarks as the Peace Park and Hillbilly's.

Sorry folks, but I can't make it this time around; I'd be the one driving

I'm also chronically busy with work, but that's not really something I want to admit to choosing over beer!

Right, I presume that people will still be in The Slate between 10 and midnight? I've to hit The Bailey (*shudder*) after work but I should be running/wobbling away from there as fast as...

I'll be there at 7 if one other person is. Heading out the door to Corcaigh in 15 mins! I hope Fysh doesn't get another advanced case of doziness.

Now, now...an afternoon snooze is a perfectly valid reason for standing you up, Adam

Jesus christ, what was I drinking? I went to the blog awards last night, had one pint and several glasses of water, and went home when it was over, still not 100% after the hangover!

As I recall you were on Erdinger, but by the time we made it to the Cruiscin you seemed to be on a bit of a jolly....how was the nerdfestival, anyway?

As I remember it, we barely made it to the Cruiscin...Adam was intent on heading in the completely opposite direction

Define "a bit of a jolly"?

Nerdy. Very weird. Most Bizarre Moment went to the two podcasters interviewing each other, but there were plenty of others. I shouldn've just bitten the bullet and gone on the tear, it would've been a hoot locked.

If I can afford to sponsor it next year I think I'll arrive locked.
