Instead of going to a pub/restaurant for food on Saturday we are going to have a picnic in St Stephens Green. All are very welcome to come along. Let's hope the weather is kind to us.

So bring your nummy nibbles and do feel free to share ! I can't cook a stitch myself so shouldnt say much!

DougL

OK, here's a potentially ridiculous question. Does anyone know how many vertical railings are allocated to each space? Yes, I am anal enough to work out my hanging plan ahead of time...I don't want to get up any earlier than I have to!

GristlyEnd

This will give you an idea. You might be able to count the railings from the top

kjt

So what's the story with the picnic Darren, one for all, or all for one?

Make/buy our own grub or shall we try bring extra?

GristlyEnd

Bring enough for yourself and if you feel like sharing bring some extra

SinisterDexter

What time do we go home/finish the PP?
What time does the Green stay open until?


I think I will be heading to the bottom of Grafton Street to The Porterhouse for food and beer if anybody wants to join us.

SinisterDexter

Found it:

Gardens Close: According to daylight hours


Still no beer though

Arciphel

Getting close to "squeaky bum time" now, how are everyone's preparations going?

GristlyEnd

Terrible

Arciphel

How come Darren, anything any of us can help with?:)

For once I don't think I will be starting mounting at 10pm Friday night.

Got my prints sorted, frames and two days left to mount.... Hmmm probably will be mounting Friday night at 10 then :eek:

I wanna go, I wanna go

Morning!


Had one of my junkie neighbours hollering in to me at 6am, my car was next to this tow truck set on fire(not the blue one!), luckily it escaped any damage!, yer man who owned this truck also had his SUV burned out, too obvious for an insurance job? Cops stayed til both shells were taken away.

dave66

Em, AR, did you mean to post that to the Random thread or the PP2010 thread, good shot though!

You said it!

I think I'm fairly sorted print wise. Have 13 Mounted prints, 1 Framed triptych and 1 framed print. Aside from that I have about 8-9 unmounted prints I may bring along.

Have my string, pegs, blutack. Some fairly basic biz cards. I *think* I ready, but boy are the nerves kicking in for this first timer.

Arciphel

I have a ton of mounted prints from two years of camera club, and a load more I have printed up in the last few weeks. I'm gonna have a broken back lugging them all down on Saturday! Looking forward to meeting everyone and putting faces to names for once...

SinisterDexter

Just finished mounting, will get the bags on Sat Morn.

Now to write a list of what I need to bring on Sat......

I decided not to go with bags because of the reflections. I hope I don't live to regret that decision...

Well, I trust the forecast from the Weather forum's resident forecaster, M.T. Cranium, a little more than Met Eireann. It looks like it could be a quite windy on Saturday, but we should be sheltered on the East side of the Green. Bring lots of clamps to hold things down!

In his own words:

SATURDAY ... partly cloudy, slight risk of showers in the north, breezy (W to NW 20-30 mph at times) with lows 5-8 C and highs 15-17 C.

SUNDAY ... sunny with cloudy intervals, a very cool start (lows 2-6 C in rural areas), highs 17-19 C, light NW winds.

I tried the bags before and ended up with condensation on the prints as soon as the sun came out.

All prints done and mounted, thanks to Steve, (www.360-dpi.com)

Now to collect last few bits and pieces tonight and should be sorted for the morning.. Hope it stays dry now at least.

zerohamster

Unfortunately I have to pull out, Ive been sick the past week and my organizational skill have been sorely lacking due to intense headaches. To top it off my PC is being rather unhelpful with frequent crashes and the need for a new hard drive :S

I was looking forward to doing this and displaying my work publicly but Ill have to wait till next time and I hope that you all get good weather

Sorry for dropping out and I hope someone can last minute take my space and enjoy it all.

zerohamster

also to mention that it would be nice if a forum regular got my place if they had time to prepare

shepthedog

So whats everyones must have essentials for bringing tomorrow? Making my lists of things not to forget, chairs, cable ties, mesh etc..

Arciphel

Yeah, i've got the fold-up stool and a few cable ties, some twine and a few clamps and clothes pegs, will that do? Should I bring a porta-potty too?

GristlyEnd

Best of luck to everybody tomorrow. Hoping you are all prepared and not burning the midnight oil (like me).

kittykrazy

Hi all, sorry to do this at the last minute but due to surprise circumstances, I have to drop out. I'm hoping that you can spread out a bit or find a way so that my space doesn't go to waste.

Good luck and hopefully I'll be able to come and have a look.

DougL

Well, I finally have everything ready. I hope.

I'm bringing:

- A camera (of course)
- Prints
- Plastic sheet for rain protection
- Chair
- Clamps
- Cable-ties
- Boards to hang prints from
- Blu-tack
- Velcro
- Leatherman tool
- Hooks
- Tape measure
...and a hammer

See you all in the morning. I can't wait!

How're we fixed weather wise Sagastipean?

The consensus is that we might get a shower or two tomorrow, with a temp of 17-18 degrees, but it should be mostly dry. There is cloud forecast for the north and sunny breaks for the south, so there's some chance of sun. Sunday is looking much better, with only the slight risk of a shower in the north, and more sunshine.

I'm fairly optimistic it will be better than that. Probably a bit like today. In any case, we can't complain given the weather we've had for the last two months. It could be much worse!

Onto tomorrow for another day and hopefully will sell a print!

bren2002

Dropped by today, I thought there were noticeably less exhibitors this year.

Thought there was the usual mix of the poor, the good and the really excellent.

As ever, it made me want to do it next year. I've never got around to organising myself though.

What's the general feedback?

DougL

It was a fantastic weekend. Great weather, great people, and I sold a few prints. It was great to meet everyone!

dave66

Ok, my feedback as a first timer was, that was effing great. Great people, good laugh, can hardly wait till next year!

Did I mention, great people? Because they were.

Well done to all who took part, glad the weather was kind to you all.

artyeva

great weekend altogether, really well organised [thanks darreng, kjt et al] wasn't at all what i was expecting - more fun actually and well worth the journey. 'twas great to put faces to user names and meet a few more of ye. didn't make it for the beers afterwards, we went for food and then the sunstroke kinda set in

well actually my head now looks more this colour : :mad: !

EyeBlinks

Great weekend and thanks for the great company all. Great to meet all the "old folk" and many of the new too. Terrific to see Valentia there in all his glory, he would have been so proud.

All I have to show is a snap of the Artist formerly known as Humberklog and his Da.

Thanks all again, great weekend. T.

Was great seeing the old gang yesterday. Well done to all those who took part. Super display

stcstc

i really enjoyed it

knackered now though

was good to see so many old and new faces and meet people from the virtual world again

pullandbang

Brilliant weekend apart from my new camera committing suicide!
The thing I didn't like was there were too many people walking by.
I was taking a photo of my display when out of nowhere this lot walked into the frame - ruined the whole shot!
