    Would there be interest for another forum meetup in Dublin in the near future?
    I went to a few before and they were good craic, definitely helped me come to terms with being gay. Not sure what dates people would be interested in...but if people were to comment and give an idea of when they'd be free, we'd be able to organise something?

    I'm up for one!

    I'm free most weekends.

    Someone mentioned payday is the 27th Nov., and the 28th is a Saturday? I'd love if could fit in before December hits. Lot of 12 pub carry on then. I'm sure I could pop in for two or seven on the night anyway, so go with the majority ^^

    Again I'm not fussy! Around 7.30/8 might help if people want to pop along and then get various buses/trains home if they're not staying up?

    I edited the thread title

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Sweetmans! It's the pub beside the big heineken building at the end of O'Connell brige.

    Just booked the accom now! Should be a good night!

    Edit: Unless anyone has any other ideas? A gay bar might deter people from going, but can always head to Panti/Front Lounge etc after a few?

    what time we thinking? i finish work (in town) at 6pm. I'll most likely need to go get some food if anyone wants to join and then on to the meetup

    I'm not sure what time I'll be hitting Dublin at for grub so not sure at the moment!

    Just a reminder to newbies that this is a great night out and you don't have to be an active poster (or poster at all!) to come along. Just bring some chat!

    That's a good idea alright, when I went to the first one I was nervous about going to it but when I actually started talking to a few folk I was a lot calmer...I'd be up for going somewhere after

    Sweetman's this Saturday 28th sounds great - see you there!

    Somebody please bring a BOARDS.IE sign so we know where to find you!

    (There's lots of different levels and nooks and crannies in Sweetman's and sometimes it's hard to spot Boardsies!)
