    Unless my doc tomorrow says that I can't, I'll be on Grafton Street Friday morn starting around 9:30 or so. I'll stay up there til about 6p, and then that will probably be my limit (okay, maybe I'll go out with the lads for a pint (milk)).

    Who shall I expect to show up? I'll be there even if no one does, but it would be a lot more fun if I had some friends out there :-).

    Not sure if this has come up before - but which part of Grafton Street?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,155 ✭✭✭Xithus


    Ill hang around for awhile.

    I believe Elana was talking about the south end of Grafton Street (opposite St. Stephens Green Centre), which is a typical place for protests and religious nuts.

    [Edit]: Oh... and I'll be there, by the way,... maybe not early (likely to be hung over)... but for most of the day ...and for pints (not of the milky variety) later on.

    I'm having the busiest day of my business career almost!

    I'm gonna try and drop down in 5 mins (about 4:15) to see people anyway. You'll all get to laugh at me in my suit :)

  • Registered Users Posts: 248 ✭✭jamiecake


    whats going on?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭Baz_


    very half hearted there hobbes, go you sockcucker, go now!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    erm some of us had to work you know. Anyway I bopped up to both ends of Grafton street and there seems to be no one there, unless some guy on an organ singing harry khrishna is part of your group.

    Anyway bopped into Netshop and said hi to C+B, checked O'Neils and then got lost looking for DNC (But then I did ask directions from two other netshops :))

    Currently sitting in DNC now wondering WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE?

    *ahem*

    So should I be moving from pub to pub looking for people wearing all black????


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,265 ✭✭✭MiCr0

    LoTR fans may want to check out gameshop.

    I must say, that was a p!ss poor trun-up. about 10 people in all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 Glad


    I was there, i think i met sutty, and maybe hobbes, and i did meat devore, kinda just crunted at each other


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,660 ✭✭✭Baz_


    Hobbes, I think you know already that I was kidding, and if not, I was. I'm in no position to tell anybody anything not being in Ireland and all.

    Glad, I'm sure Dev is a good kid in real life, but he was having a stressful day also and he was probably in the mood where people just want to have a laugh with mates, and not to psychoanylyse(sp) somebody about why they go on like a plonker on the boards, but I'm sure that if you behave yourself this time, he'll be much nicer to you at your next encounter. Also since he now knows what you look like it would be a good idea to behave yourself (tehe kidding)

    he seemed in fine mood to me, more of made strange noises at each other then grunted. you had to be there, it was funny at the time. I was trying to get afew more of my mates to come along specially the one that only dresses in black.
    if i had of known no one would rent a mouse suit i would have got one myself, i know this place on baggots street


    and btw its Saturday,

    Actually you seemed like a perfectly reasonable bloke, I was just up to my tonsils in people I know through the internet and have never met before.

    I certainly dont have any problem with you and you seem to have toned things down here (at least Bard hasnt complained about anyone recently :) )

    It was hella cool to meet everyone face to face on Grafton, I wish I wish I could have gone for a load of pints but I was running off to another meeting :( (Yesterday was about the busiest working day of my life).

    Meeting up with Elana, 80p, dahamsta etc was cool even if they took pictures of me and dan handing out fliers (we started telling people "Anthrax-Free Flyer? Madam?" and NOONE would take it from us...weird eh!)

    I still think Elana should name her child FRIACO. *giggle*

    Seconded...thanks to all of you who showed up, esp Seamus, Corkie and naidahoc (sorry for spelling!), who kept me company most of the day. I feel like I've been run over by a truck :-).

    Gawrsh, wonder why? :-) As soon as I can find my adapter, I'll put up the photo of the flyer on the eircom van :-). Maybe they were scared of the suit?

    I still think Elana should name her child FRIACO. *giggle*

    Depends which comes first :-). Besides, eircom probably has already trademarked the name :-).

    Great time yesterday, and thanks to everyone who showed up. I think I sat down for a total of 20 minutes from 10:15 until around 6. We must have just missed Hobbes (we decided that when we ran out of flyers we'd for drinks), sorry about that!!
