Craic agus ol agus ceol agus more drink.

There will be a fancy-dress party in the downstairs at The Ginger Man on Fenian Street on Saturday the 29th of October, eight-til-late.

Tickets €10 at the door or in Adonis (the piercing place in Miss Fantasia's, go into Miss Fantasia's and then down to the back).

All welcome (Pagan or not, it's a party not a religious event). The room for the party has its own toilets, so you can change into fancy-dress there if you don't want to travel dressed.

Sounds good, will see if a few mates are interested and if so will sort out tickets :P

Suaimhneach · 07-09-2005 8:43pm

I'll try get peoples to come along too

Now to get a dress in time!

Talliesin · 09-09-2005 1:50pm

Oh, any proceeds will go into the Féile Draíochta kitty. Such funds will help ensure another excellent Féile Draíochta next year, and eventually build up to a trust that can be used to purchase and run a burial site for the Pagan community.

Suaimhneach · 09-09-2005 11:36pm

Really?

Talliesin · 10-09-2005 12:08pm

Yeah, but that's some time (a few years at least) down the line, in the mean time keeping Féile Draíochta in funds will help ensure great Féile Draíochtas.

When the burial site does become a reality it will be great for the community to have somewhere to bury our departed and the site will also serve as a ritual space for people of different traditions with the community.

The focus for now though is fancy-dress and partying!

I hope to attend this with my Partner and Daughter.

If people are interested I can do a short talk on it on the night.

Well your daughter has to come. I've got her selling tickets.

Most likely a chat with the more interested over a pint would be more appropriate, though the Lunar Samhain thing is certainly something I've been meaning to look into, having come across it but not researched properly, so I'll be sitting around the table for that one.

There's a practical limit on how many we can fit into the room. I very much doubt we'll reach capacity, so I wouldn't worry about it though. It would be great if we did though!

How late depends on whether we sell enough tickets in advance to pay for a late license! So please buy some if you know you'll be coming. You'll be able to get them at the Dublin Moots (Second Thursday of the Month, The Teachers' Club, 7:30pm) €8 if you get one in September, €10 if you get one in October or at the door.

Merry Meet Talliesin,
I'm very interested in your Samhain party, how can I get tickets for myself and a few pals ? Is the moot you're talking about "An Fainne?" Halloween this year is within the cycle of the balsamic moon, or dark moon, the phase right before the new moon, The weekend of October 29 and 30 is perfect for public Spiritual networking, although this Halloween might'nt have the same wild energy as last year's which fell on a full moon. BB.

And the date gets nearer!

Everything still going to plan?

Many tickets sold?

MrVestek · 04-10-2005 10:36am

Hey Tell, any chance I could see you some time during the week to get a ticket or two off of you? If not where would I go to get some?

Hi,
it may take more than one pint - see you on the night

Suaimhneach · 04-10-2005 11:14pm

Achillies, I can meet you in town at some stage and give you tickets if you want. Mysteria if you could make it for the same day that'd be great!

How does this weekend sound?

MrVestek · 05-10-2005 10:29am

Sure Jes cheers that'd be great, just need to find people interested in going with me first tho. I know that a few other friends from Kildare will be there on the night but I dont wanna go in all on my own like a sadcase :P. I'll let you know, I'm sure I still have your number somewhere.

Talliesin · 10-10-2005 5:16pm

Phew!

Well, I'm a busy sort of late, but yes the party plans are progressing nicely.

We've enough confirmed numbers that we'll be looking to get a late license, though I haven't yet got it confirmed that we'll actually have it. The numbers are a good mix of Pagans and non-Pagans too, enough of each that it'll have a community event feel to the Pagans, but the non-Pagans won't feel like they're complete outsiders either.

\o/

Suaimhneach · 10-10-2005 10:24pm

Yeah, and I've just sold four tickets, granted it was to my dad.

Achilles, text me when it suits you to meet up. I am in town Friday day and saturday day and night

MrVestek · 11-10-2005 11:33am

I might be meeting up with a friend of mine on Thursday for him to get me some tickets, and I'm working Friday and Saturday. I'll have to see which fans out Jess but I have your number so I'll let you know.

MrVestek · 13-10-2005 9:38am

Hey Jesjes, would it be possible to meet you in town tomorrow (Friday) at about 1 or 1:30? I'll need 3 tickets methinks. Anybody else who confirms that they're coming with me afterwards will have to pay at the door.

Talliesin · 13-10-2005 7:02pm

Glen in Adonis (the piercing place in Miss Fantasia, go into Miss Fantasia and then go down to the back of the shop) has tickets for sale.

Suaimhneach · 14-10-2005 12:30am

Yeah, I am in work and have break 1-2. I'll pm you my new number now.

hairyheretic · 14-10-2005 10:00am

Will there be tickets on the door for any last minute types, or do you need to get them in advance?

Talliesin · 14-10-2005 12:15pm

There should be plenty of tickets at the door.

I would ask anyone who could do so to get them in advance though, since that means our expenses are covered as they arrive without having to borrow from my own limited funds (we've the late-license paid for and shall be arranging that soon, still some food to pay for though).

MrVestek · 16-10-2005 6:37pm

There's gonna be food?! OMFG, and I was just there for the drink and the fancy dress and whatnot. OMFG i'm even more there than I already was. Cheers for the tickets Jess :P

Suaimhneach · 16-10-2005 8:58pm

Like the sig Talliesin

Np Achilles.

Full Moon tomorrow on Tara, I'll try sell some there

ok Cool is there plenty of tickits & excuse my Spelling I sux at it

MrVestek · 23-10-2005 7:34pm

I must admit tho after meeting Jess I was expecting something a bit more flashy than green raffle tickets for the tickets. Heh, still can't wait for the party, have already switched days in work for it :P

Suaimhneach · 24-10-2005 12:08pm

Minimal cost for tickets means they can put money towards the late bar...

think about it!!

Some people might come from the Full Moon on Tara, it was mentioned, most want tix on the door option tho.

And for that matter, minimal funds is the only reason I'm bothering to have advance sales at all, having a few tickets sold now means I don't have to delve into my own pockets (which are not terribly deep at the moment).
