Arcade and Retro forum beers! (AKA the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks)

MrVestek

I didn't realise that some of you guys would be heading to Kaizokucon too.

Really want to meet Yohnny Young Bosch.

Anybody up for meeting up when down there for a few beers etc?

but I was talking about it like twice at least. I'll be there and would be up for kinda beers. If everyone (waveform, Mr vestek and Dinorex are going afaik) goes on the Friday we can make a team for the pub quiz, I assume there's one, always is.

I'm hoping fingers crossed I can work up some time before then and with enough notice maybe won't be as cranky.
I'm staying across the road with one of the girls, my tickets preordered too, it ends tomorrow afaik.

CiDeRmAn

I can talk to She Who Must Be Obeyed and maybe move it to Saturday the 8th, how does that sound for everyone?
Come on Mryddin, you know it makes sense!

I'd say it would be worth pm'ing the Facebook admin asking if there's a table quiz.

If there isn't then you'd be putting the idea in their heads and they might organize one!

Moar info about tickets...





I'm full of excitement tonight thinking about that weekend!

Must shleep now damnit!

8th would be out for me as my daughter has a Cubs night that day


7th fits perfect for myself but if it goes later (on fridays) then i can be sure that we will be there.

CiDeRmAn

How about the 21st of March?
I know it's a Fri again.

Nope but it might suit others sure

This time I think if I'm hosting it'll have to be a Friday, Saturday this month is just too awkward

Thanks for reminding me. Wasn't sure I wanted to go for the full weekend and I remember how boring last year's Dublin Comic-Con was.

Feck it, just bought the weekend pass. It's cheap enough anyway.

Now to find a hostel or something as I don't have the cash for a hotel. :-)

I really hope I get to do the meet and greet with Johnny Young Bosch when he's there. Really really hope he lets me take his photo.

Well if there are any questions about animé then I'll have no idea. I'm not much of an animé fan... I'm more going for the sci fi aspect of things.

CiDeRmAn

So, we'll move ahead with the Friday night 7th of March.

I asked, the quiz is on the Friday, I'm no good at sci fi at all but I'm okay on some anime.

On the weekend pass, you might find some good panels, I hope Jim does his msn of action or wrestling panel they were hilarious

So are we set for the 7th or 21st Either would be grand but if the parts for my new pc arrive on friday i may just be tempted to send my Daughter on her own

So in Animal farm terms

7th March good 21st March Better

CiDeRmAn

The 7th is it, the best I can do right now, I'm on leave so I won't have to get up for work the following morning, which I usually wind up doing q

CiDeRmAn

Can I get an idea who is coming along?
So I can hide the valuables, and lock the drink away from Atavan!

I'd be up for it so long as I can get a lift. That and here's hoping the missus is out of hospital by then.

Sparks43

Myself and better quarter shall be in attendance if a lift is available.

Means i have to miss a friends 40th but this is more important (For my daughter)

I'll miss Animal Crossing with her <\3 say sorry for me

CosmicSmash

I'm not going to be around that weekend, will have to make the next one:(

CiDeRmAn

Actually, I might knock this on the head and try again in a few weeks, when it suits more folk.
Sorry about that.
Like to make it available to as many as possible and they don't come around as often as they used to.
What you lot think?

It's your beers so suit yourself, whatever you think is best.
Maybe May? I'll be over my KPP concert (29th of April), there'll be no more conventions until July and Retr0 will be over the wedding. I've a communion at some stage of May though.

CiDeRmAn

I'm sure there might be a house warming between now and then.
And I'm happy to host one in April, dates dates everyone!

Atavan-Halen

Not the 8th! But other than that I'm down.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

April? I'm planning to go to Experience Japan on the 13th so hoping to be in Dublin around then.
27th I'll be in London for Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. Afaik that's all I have on.

CiDeRmAn

Cool, I'll post a date closer to the.. well, date!

DinoRex

Is the 21st or 22nd of March any use to people?

I'm happy to host then.

CiDeRmAn

Sounds good, count me in

Seeing the 21st was one of the dates you were looking at.

So maybe the 22nd will work for people.

Want to give my Turbografx a work out.

CiDeRmAn

I'm going to leave it until April or so, give some time to sort out the pig pen the gamesroom has become!

Retr0gamer

22nd wouldn't be good for me. I've my brother's mini-stag to go on because I nobody will go to his main stag (I told the job****e booking abroad was stupid :rolleyes: ).

MrVestek

22nd is fine for me.

CiDeRmAn

I'd be happiest with the 21st tbh, night out with Mrs Ciderman on the 22nd

Be honest... you're just trying to avoid me. :_-(

CiDeRmAn

No, no just prefer life with happy wifey to life with unhappy bringer of pain and suffering, who also happens to be my wifey.

I'm busy both days unfortunately

Atavan-Halen

I can't do the 22nd but 21st should be ok.
