Otis Driftwood

Well.

Bottle_of_Smoke

will only be in dublin 21st-28th dec

will go if its around then

Otis Driftwood

You know the drill folks lets have some suggestions for dates and venues.

My own preference would be a Saturday night however I could probably swing a Friday as Ive worked up some time in lieu so would be able to get a half day.

Galvasean

No point in me suggesting any dates because I'm always think I'm free but then get dragged to some stupid friend's stoopid birthday or have to end up having to work a night shoot.

Nevertheless, I have a good feeling this time...

P.C.

I am going to assume that is a statement, and not a question.

Very early on the decider this time? Can it be somewhere with decent entertainment? perhaps a comedy club? we should hook up with TLL :P

Good chance I'll be working every god given hour but will watch this thread. Always nice to go to boards meets

you are correct Sir.Im also going to suggest your idea that any attendees carry something that identifies them as being Boardsies.

OldGoat

A bowler hat, a rolled up umbrella and a copy of the Times opened to the crossword page?

THere is an annual Boards Christmas comedy gig to raise money for the Santa Strike Force charity. I'm helping organise it this year. FWIW, tLL came to teh last one.
Although, I think a more general drinks/meet n' greet would be better for tGC, because comedians get crazy when people talk duringthe show.
No reason why we can't go to both though! :cool:

P.C.

I think a poll to pick a date is needed.

Venue is fairly easy to decide.

Dord

Saturday 18th December would be a good one I think. It's just a week before christmas. Quite some time away but it'll give time to get a group and location together.

Bottle_of_Smoke

How about the 21st of December? I think weekends will be really really packed anywhere.

That said the 21st will be likely busy too. You could have it the week before but then I won't be able to make it....

Otis Driftwood

Poll now added.Ive allowed the multi vote option as obviously this time of year there are various parties and what not on so at least people arent tied to one date in particular.Poll will close 2 weeks from today so get voting folks.

P.C.

I am just in talks at the moment.

Will vote when the talks are over.*









* I will be at the beers, the talks are about wether I go alone or not.

Otis Driftwood

Atari beeruar being in the lead does not bode well.Dagnabit.

OldGoat

Had to go Atari on this one. Drinking amongst the mobs of the City any weekend in December is no pleasure.

Midweek minibeers anyone?

the_syco

After the 7th is usually a good for me, since the 7th is usually payday for me

Thequestion is: does anyone know any quite "old men" pubs where we can have a laugh, and not get blasted by loud music? The wee pub on O'Connell street near the Savoy can be good sometimes.

Gillo

Voted for 17th, figure a Friday won't be as busy. I see where you are coming from Syco, but how about the likes of Messers it's not normally to loud and has a bit more atmosphere than an old man pub.

Aye. Can be good sometimes: have met up with people there on occasion. It's also central enough. The station below Tara Street train station has a nice smoking area, and is sometimes dead on a Friday. Think it's called the Sub Lounge.

Yeah O'Reillys/Sub Lounge is a nice little spot, also smokers love it because the train tracks completely cover the smoking area so you never get wet, location is convenient for all as well.

Galvasean

Sub Lounge is nice (cheap pints too), however we at the Nocturnal Forum once reserved a spot there and they conveniently 'forgot' it when we turned up (nothing to do with the fact that the place was jammers).
