New Years eve for over 18's

Heyes

Right saw a thread for under 18's....

Well what about the rest of us... is there anything good really going on in Dublin on Saturday, or will we all be resorting to last minute dive into the pub....

Any ideas anyone ???

Suppose, sure that would be the same for anywhere... Dublin is crying out for a place that you can go to more than a handful of times.

Hey that sounds pretty cool!! Any more info? Is it all welcome? Never been to Hoath Head, is it dodgy?

House party somewhere. Bring Jagermeister and some other stuff, and then pass out. Excellent.

Fajitas!

Headin' back down to Waterford, going to the Forum... If it's anything like last year, the New Years Ball will be class!

Anyone else from Waterford about actually?

Binomate

Just another one of the 365 nights in a year for me. :v:

Scraggs

party in einsturzendes hse...bring jagermeister and some other stuff

Creamy Goodness

house party/home, i ain't got money to be splashing about to go anywhere.

Rb

Was sick last New Years eve, so will hopefully make up for it this year.
As to what I'm doing, I don't know yet

Repli

Maybe spirit but I heard it's like €35 this year.. probably just end up in the pod!

Either go out here in Blanch or head down the country. Wouldnt risk town, collective bouncer wankerism at any decent spot could make it a wasted trip, on NYE they can afford to be choosy as fcuk, especially against under 21s. Id nearly rather sit at home than be forced into Redz, Tramcos etc etc (correction- i actually would rather sit at home, on my own, during a power cut, crying to myself, on NYE than go to Tramcos). Probably giving town a go Thursday night so.

I wouldnt pay 35 euro into Spirit if I needed a life saving kidney transplant in the place. Its grand enough, but its just about/barely worth the usual 20, let alone 35.

What are you on about lol, if the bouncers refuse you in 1 club in town, you can just try 1 of the other 100 clubs in the area. If the ****ers on the door in Heaven refuse you, you're screwed.

Trip Hazard

Well i'll be watching the fire works going off at the Harbour bridge!!!!!!!!
Oh did I mention i'm in Sydney this new years, Waa Hoo!!!!

Sleepy

New Year's Ball in the Galway Radisson. Quite looking forward to it actually, haven't donned the ol' tux since college!

Firesuite

I'm undecided between going out in town or a house party. Doesn't sound like there's too much positive stuff being said about clubs in town.. anyone had a _good_ experience of a night out in town on new year's or is that too much to ask?

Hundred me bollix, the amt of clubs in Dublin seems to have actually declined. Fact is theres an awful lot of them you wouldnt actually want to go to (such as the aforementioned). I say alot of town is working on the pre- bought ticket system this year, id say its booked out already.

the_menace

I'm getting out of this crap country and going to Liverpool. Much cheaper and better than Dublin and I got my return flight for 60 Europes.

Back to deise for me.. probably the forum -> drunk -> renew old enemy acquaintances outside ze local chipper by pissing on their girlfriend by accident again-> bish bash bosh -> ding dang do -> ride a foul drooling slobbering hound -> lose a tooth -> and wake up in the certain knowledge thats its a new year and last nite never existed. ahhh fatty fkin lewis and the lewis twins ahhh.

LadyJ

pcwares

LadyJ

cormie

Where's the party? Some how I think it would be quite fun to go to a party full of complete strangers:D

pcwares

well cormie the waterford expats in dublin have built a stage and dj booth and have invited a load of trad bands + a couple of good djs (dance)

location : tbposted for new years eve...all are welcome - i may head back for that one. SHould be a ripper

dress code : crusty to professional to fancy dress.
entry fee : bag of alcohol

cormie

trad as in "hup ya boya jigs and reels" ?? I love it:) A mix of trad and dance, good stuff. But I don't drink so can't get in:(

Chinafoot

party in my sister's place most likely.

chump

don't got to town (dublin) if can help it...

any new years there is always a bit dud, and town is frighteningly empty...
(there last year)

this year, down the bog, probably we'll end up in some old-mans pub

Give them the wrong address, drink so much you have imaginary friends and stick on some funky 70's music.

Put on goldfrapp ooh la la-everytime she says la...take a drink.
Find more songs with extremely repetitve lyrics...It's fun
Play the cereal box game. Basically you put a cereal box on the floor and have to pick it up only using your teeth. Make it smaller as each roud progresses. Makes for some very amusing trip ups.
When yis all get proper drunk dance to cheesey music. AKA Billy Idol or something equally funny and have a dance off. Priceless. :rolleyes:

Setun

Honestly, a party doesn't exist until Madness is played. I promise you, the place will be a cartoon ball of arms and legs, with the shouting and the singing and the laughing and the jumping.

Any tips on taking over a house to House Party in?

Arrive at the door with a bottle of something strong. Give it to the person who opened the door for you...they'll run off to drink it and you can saunter in...if anyone asks who you are, point to a random group of people and point out no one in particular.
Note..this probably won't work. It's just an idea.

whiskeyman

Headin in the Dublin city centre tonight.
Anyone know what time is best to head in?

Would like to get a bit of a pub crawl in before settling down in somewhere thats decent (or feels decent by the state we'll be in....).
Am thinking heading in for 8 (prob 9 by the time the gf gets ready).
Sound alright?
