[BPB] Launch Night Sat 28th DCC, Dublin

m_s_nixon

Thanks to Cabansail the launch party will be held in Dublin Camera Club on saturday 28th November, so who's coming?

some volunteers will be required for setting up before hand and cleaning up afterwards, please put your name down if you can help out

humberklog

I'll give any hand needed. Driving, lifting, shifting or cleaning.

You'll find me there. Wouldn't / Couldn't miss this.

And sure I can pop in early and help with the booze setup

Quick question to add to this

There is a dublin / cork photography walk being proposed. Boards have some involvement through our community manager Darragh. There is a poll running on the thread below as to when it should happen.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055733718

The question is whether people feel the launch and the photowalk both should happen on the one day or would it take from the focus / feel good of the day?

(And as one who has the publication in his greedy little hands let me tell you lovely people that when you see this publication you will be soooooo pleased. It is stunningly beautiful imho.)

It's just that i'd hate for us to rush the launch as an "in and out" 10 minute launch session. And in fairness if boards are putting some effort into organising the photowalk, I'd hope we wouldn't all be in the nice warm surrounds of the Dublin Camera Club while Darragh looks at his watch, taps the toes impatiently, and proclaims "damn you photography forums users.... there will be hell to pay!!!" - I may be a little over dramatic in the latter

So, what do ye think?

What time are both events supposed to take place?

I'm fully aiming to be there. If I'm not horrifically hung over from graduation the night before. I'll give whatever help I can.

Can't wait to see the book!

melekalikimaka

will be there with bells on.

m_s_nixon

DCC closes at 5pm so it'll be sometime after that, probably 6/7pm

What time would you be home?

We could keep a Lemonade for you.

KarmaGarda

Living in London makes it a tad difficult for me! I can toast some whiskey to the launch that night if you want?

pullandbang

Yep. I intend to be there.

You, Pete, and Al have the London launch at a destination unknown (sounds posh anyhow)????? yeah???? It would be nice to say we launched it officially in more than one country.

(we all want to see the after event pictures too )

AnCatDubh

feic. that's all i'm saying.

Kintarō Hattori

I'll be there and give me a shout if anything needs doing. I'm well used to doing the cooking/cleaning/washing in our house.................. wait a minute.

Well, if one is organised I'll do my best to be there. I warn you, I know nothing of this lark. Me and event organising don't really mix well .

Hearvee

Afraid the 28th is probably the one day I can't make it!
Any chance ye can leave one of the unclaimed books in DCC so I can collect it on the following Saturday or a Tuesday night?

rameire

me myself and the wifeen should be there.
(thats 2 of us)

xia

I'll be there and can / am willing to help.
BTW. wouldn't it be helpful to have the poll public i.e. with names?

Fionn

unfortunately I can't be there, however I do hope everyone has a great evening and wish the launch every success it deserves, well done to everyone who contributed.

Valentia

Looking forward to it!!

trishw78

I'll be there.

Nisio

Booo will have to miss it; have to be down the country that weekend

trooney

I'll hopefully be joining in too...

gandalf

I plan on being there with the missus

.Longshanks.

I should make it too

mloc

Hopefully I shall be able to be in attendance.

Pigwidgeon

Damn, I'll be flying back from London that night so won't be able to make it.
Hope you all have a great night though.

Chorcai

Ok so do I have to order a book or will there be some for sale there on the evening/night ?

If ya need a hand give me a PM.

m_s_nixon

he requested that boardsies buy them online, as far as i know he wants to try and sell them to members of the public

Sleepy

Will try and make it in but it's not looking likely.

Just got my copies in the mail today, some great shots (and mine )

dnme

anyone from Galway around?

If I could get one or two to go, I'd happily drive

Sorted.

CabanSail

We have some help offered by;

humberklog
Buzz Lightyear
Kintarō Hattori
xia
Chorcai

Any more to assist?

We will need a few to help set things up, hang photos, get the wine sorted etc. So we will need to start soon after the Gallery closes, say about 5.30pm

At the end we need to put the exhibition back up, return the room to the way it was when we arrived, clean up any mess, get rid of rubbish & wash the glasses.

faceman

I will be along too.

Chorcai

superflyninja

i am not fully sure yet! if im not though who do i contact to arrange pickup of my copy?

artyeva

i've said yes in the poll but that depends on whether i can pursuade the OH or one of my mates to accompany me on a drive from mayo all the way up to dub and down again later that nite....which, while highy unlikely, i do have a week to work on 'em...

I'm in the same situation. I'll be out of the country that weekend, but would like (somehow) to arrange to get my copies of the book.

Why not find a place to stay & make a weekend of it?

Trying to get a house finished so we can move into it before we're too old to climb the stairs [which incidentally haven't arrived yet, even though the stairs man said they'd be here on tuesday. does this look like freakin' tuesday????]

and then there's €€€€ ...or rather the lack of it, stairs are damn expensive

nilhg

I've just realised that this launch is on the same day as the IPF distinctions sitting in Thurles, which makes it unlikely I'll make the launch.


Unless maybe I'm celebrating......

If I don't make it, my daughter is in Trinity and would collect the book in the City Centre if somebody could hang on to it for me.

I hope to get to both. Just have to leave Thurles in time to get back to DCC at 5.30ish.
