If there's not much opposition we may do a whole who's who during the sign in at 11. Well it's that or badges

Wish I had a badge maker

I can also bring a guitar, though I don't know all that many songs. So someone else may need to play it!
I'll bring some shakers or a tambourine or something too. I know loads of songs on those

we could bring chords to songs we want to play......

sheesh

Hello my name is stickers and a felt tipped pen work.

though it will lend itself to joke names.:D
i.e. - "Hello my name is Indigo Montoya"

Cool, remind me on sat to give them to you. Havn't a clue who you are.

Hello my name is one of the following:
Jay
J.D.
Jeremy
Hey You!
Move! You are in my shot.
Can somebody roll that drunk guy out of the fire?:eek:

DeVore

Names and I are not best friends. I will spend all day repeatedly asking you what your names are. I apologise in advance. My name is Tom Murphy which is generally about the most standard irish name after Patrick Murphy I respond to DeV too, so feel free to call me that if you like


We have a user name Seamus who isnt called Seamus and Gerry who isnt called Gerry. Thats just messing with my head in all fairness.

DeV.

Slidinginfinity

I'm the same names slip off my teflon brain, while faces stick around longer than I want (sometimes).

Tallon

Well i'm the eccentric guy with toys and hilarity who will always be making jokes no matter how bad they are and calling you all by your username... I dont care if you have real names, count yourself lucky I won't be calling you's 'OP'

DeVore

I'll be the one right-clicking on your forehead and looking for the "Edit User" option....

DeV.

I'll be the guy with an arsenal of gear !!! (I assume gear will be reasonably safe in the car ???...or I may have to limit what I bring)

Paddy's the name

is there any river or moat around the castle ? (might bring underwater camera housing - if there is)

oh...does anyone know where I would rent a HC lens for hasselblad apart from ISS ? bought a H1 recently and theres no lens with it - doubt Ebay would deliver fast enough and I'm not paying full price for a hasselblad lens !!...will check Conns in the morning - rented a lens there last weekend - forgot to bring it back - will bring it in to them in the morning....oh, dont anyone buy the 100mm L Macro lens ...its crap !! (or maybe it was my fault)

Sebzy

Yep gear should be fine in the car but keep it covered or in the boot. AFAIK there has been no theft in the car park ever but there was some lads who stole a jenny 2 years ago.

No river or moat sorry but might be able to sort you out with a bathtub of stinky water and a few earth worms.

will leave the underwater stuff at home ..... kinda looking forward to it, but im not prepared at all.

sNarah

Tallon is a real name?? How so?/
Mine's easy, Sarah, but sNarah works equally well. Or you can call me what my Irish friends call me: Euro/Belgie/Dutchie/or whatever *funny* alternative they come up with.

I do come with one warning: Apparently I sounds suspiciously Irish for a Non-Irish person and it's slightly scary, so I'm told. Other than that, I'll be the one swooshing around with all sorts of funny camera's (read: toys).

Really starting to look forward to this now - I'm like a little kiddo waiting for the IcecreamVanMan to pass by!!

I can play the piano a little but it wont fit in my bag

DeV.

There is piano in the castle ;-)

DeVore

That was freaky Thonda, I thought my eyes were broken!!

That piano looks well playable, but I'm not much good anyway so it will hardly matter. I'm gonna shoot it all the same!

DeV.

the_syco

Just back from Hellfest. T'was epic. Will post up photo's that I took with a mates camera sometime

And like the last 4 times I met you, I'll know your face, but not your name...

=-=

I'll be the tall guy with a shaved head, a bit of a beard, and glasses.

RoryW

I have to pull out due to a family matter. Sorry for late notice.

Seb, if I owe any money send me a PM with how to pay etc

RoryW

kjt

Awh bugger, I'm afraid I have to pull out guys. I was really looking forward to this and meeting everyone again but something has crept up.

Sebzy

Sorry to hear that Rory and kjt but thanks for letting me know.

Buzz Lightyear

I gotta pull out as well I'm afraid. Something has come up at the last minute that I wasn't planning on.

I hope you all have a great weekend.

theboat

I'm going to have to pull out too, unfortunately.
Sorry for the late notice Sebzy.
Have a great weekend everyone. I look forward to seeing some great shots from the trip.

Sebzy

Something for you all to watch

Sebzy

Oh not good with all these cancellations 11 in total so far.

Well the good news is I still have 38 people planning on going.

pixbyjohn

Enjoy the weekend everyone, looks like its going to be super with the amount of friendly people participating.,

sNarah

Does anyone have a spare roll of 120 medium format B&W that I could borrow/buy of you? Some pinholes are in order me thinks!

Jemmy

I'm scared and excited all at once :D

Might be someone in town tomorrow could pick you up some, hmmm I haven't decided if I'm going in myself yet but PM me your number and if I am I'll let you know and I can pop over to Gunnes

Well, I'm planning on getting some tomorrow for use with my new toy:



So I can give you a roll as I'll probably buy a pack anyway.

I'll be the really tall guy looking at his camera in bewilderment...

Slidinginfinity

DutchGuy what is that?

Ah yummie! I think we can speak in the same language as well if your name is anything to go by?

I was holding a Lubitel earlier today in a friends house and tried to steal it but it didn't work - that would have been great though, Lubitel and Charleville

sNarah

Oh and I had hoped my new toy had arrived before the weekend, but wont happen by the looks of it


and was trying to steal this one :rolleyes:

Fajitas!

I should have a roll of 120 to spare, most likely some BW.

sNarah

Good stuff, thanks Jemmy, Walter & Al. I'll refund you for it!

Al - since you're here, you're the man to ask. Pinhole and colour, doenst work does it? And pinhole + 35mm? I would think so?

DutchGuy

Slidinginfinity wrote: »

It's a Moskva 5 - got it a few days ago of adverts, dangerous site....

And sNarah - we can indeed speak the same language, my username is indeed as obvious and unimaginative as it seems

BTW that Univex camera looks brilliant!

sNarah

It comes with 36p instruction manual which starts like this:

Man I'm really starting to look forward to tonorrow now!!!!

Tallon

What with most of us being Irish, Is anybody drinking at this?

If you are, and since there is a lot of us, Might I suggest picking up this?

SeanyMc22 wrote: »

At Superquinn 2 crates of either Budweiser, Carlsberg, Heineken or Miller for 30bob.
330mls bottles great offer for the knockout stages of the World Cup!

If you want I can get it and people can just throw a few euro into it?

Slidinginfinity

Tallon, I went shopping for the weekend today: http://twitpic.com/1zk1pn

Fajitas!

Don't forget that there's a Tesco's/Lidl in Tullamore - save yourself some backaches bringing down all your food and hooch. There's usually a shopping trip before the night sets in

Al - since you're here, you're the man to ask. Pinhole and colour, doenst work does it? And pinhole + 35mm? I would think so?

Pinhole and colour *can* work, but some film goes a bit funny with colour casts, other fim is a complete pain in the arse to scan and you'll end up converting it to BW, so you may aswell shoot with a nice BW film in the first place.

Sebzy

Ok I'm off down to the castle now in about an hour. I have a bit of setup to do and don't want to rush around in the morning.

See you all down there at 11

Slidinginfinity

Thanks for organizing all this once again.

pullandbang

Enjoy the weekend folks. I'm sick as the proverbial pig that I can't make it :mad:

snorlax

Have to head back up to Dublin saturday evening due to unforseen circumstances. If this isnt allowed please let me know so another person can use my place , thanks.

Yep that's fine

the_syco

If you have a freezer box, putting your cans into it, and covering them with ice, keeps them nice and chilled It's nice if it's warm outside.

sheesh

DeVore
