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.

Likewise. I'll be at the rugby but Saturday evening is busy for me too.

Hi there,

I know I'm about to ask two really stupid questions....but I have to!.

What Launch is it?
what does BPB mean?

Cheers

CabanSail

BPB = Boards.ie Photography Book

This is the official launch of the 2009 Boards.ie Photography Yearbook. It is a collection of photographs from some of the community here. All proceeds from sales go to the Santa Strike Force charity.

You are welcome to come along.

CabanSail

I have called Devitts Pub & they will reserve a section upstairs for us at 9pm on Saturday night. It is just across the road from DCC.

artyeva

right - i've lured my OH into coming with the promise of visits to DIY shops on the way and a quick nip into ikea ;)we'll need to be leaving round 8 or so though, but hopefully i'll get to meet a few faces [am painfully shy ao be nice ]

anyone any advice on secure parking nearby?

car

For all newbeeeeees , Could someone give me directions to DCC.

Im not 100% sure if I will make it, due to my car ending up going for a swim last weekend! Have to see if my other half will come for the spin.

Also is everyone dressing up this year, like last year!

GristlyEnd

I'm coming along to say hello.

CabanSail

DCC is at 10 Lower Camden Street D2

It's directly opposite the Camden Deluxe Hotel

xia

Just a little map where Lower Camden Street is. But the club is south of Camden Pl(ace?). So don't mind the arrow too much.
And parking is safe enough around there and free on a saturday after 7 (I think).

Edit. Or am I confused now? I actually never looked at at street signs so not quite sure anymore if it's near the arrow or more south...Ah well. Coming from direction Cuffe Street the club is on the left. So if you see Devitts or Whelan's on the right you're basically there.

Covey

Most of the parking around there is pay until midnight so beware :eek:

Are you sure??? On a Tuesday it's definitely free after 7pm so I would be very surprised if you have to pay on a Saturday after 7pm. But it wouldn't harm to check the meter anyway.

ThOnda

Camden street and the closest streets are free after 7PM, but check the signs, those clamping b@st@rds are there all the time, just driving around and making money. Very dangerous spot for leaving car unattended because of the clampers.

CabanSail

I am sorry I cannot advise on Parking as I normally catch the lovely Dublin Bus into the club. When I do drive in I have private parking sorted nearby

The 16, 16a, 19, 19a, 65, 83 and 122 go right past the door if you want to leave the car at home, which would also allow some more scope for liquid refreshments.

car

Thanks 4 the directions. hopefully i should c ye all on the nite. cant wait to c the book.

When I ment dressing up, I didnt mean ur Sunday best

I was full sure I saw photos of last years launch and people were in Santa Outfits! This is what I was wondering, were ye dressing up!

Jemmy

I'm going to try make it to this for a bit.

What time will you be finishing up bcoz I might be a bit late.

rahtkennades

Hmmm..despite my best intentions, I won't be able to make it in for the opening at 7pm

I'll be available until about 6-6.30pm though, if you need some help putting stuff together? Also hoping I could pick up my book while I'm at it? (always an ulterior motive! )

CabanSail

Drop in ... we should be there.

Well if it's the DCC is all closed up I believe upstairs in Devitt's (acroos the road) is where it's retiring to.



Soooo what's needed hand wise? I'm available from anytime.

Valentia

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.

So do you actually want us there at say 5:30pm?

mloc

If melekalikimaka makes it tomorrow, I'll be impressed. I guarantee SERIOUS hangovers. Feel free to bring capture medium of choice to immortalise the moment.

CabanSail

Heading off now to Thurles, hope to be back at DCC at about 5.30ish.


See you there.

m_s_nixon

I'm not sure if we're going to have any refreshments tonight, so if anyone wants to bring a bottle of wine or something then that'd be great

I like you style! but unfortunately I'll be driving

Thought CabanSail organised wine...But not too sure about this. As I'm driving as well I won't need much anyway;)
Plan to be around the club at 5.30ish. See yous later.

Looked like we had something sorted but as it stands I don't think we've got anything, I'll bring a couple of bottles myself

sineadw

I'll grab a few too if I get time. Sent you that press release there M_S

m_s_nixon

got it Sinead, thanks!

If people have photos from the night can they stick them in this thread, only if you're happy for me to send them to the papers, also include your name in the post (or pm me)

Buzz Lightyear

I'll being in a couple of bottles myself. I'll pick up some soft drinks as well for the drivers

Buzz Lightyear

OK my wifey's idea, I'm not clever enough for that kinda thing

If we all bring in our books for fellow boardsies to sign. We'd need to organise this online to expand the idea.

How about all the santa's in a row with a queue of non-santa folk looking for autographs.

just my 2c

gandalf

Don't think there was a Facebook event set up so I did one just now.

If you are on FB maybe spread it around.

Book signing, photo signing is a good idea I think!

I'll probably head in to this, nice to meet people from here!
