August Comic Jam!

the Shades

After some discussion with ztoical in another thread I've been left organising the next Comic Jam, so this is what I've decided. Objectors be damned!

We're heading back to The Duke pub on Duke St, Dublin since it worked out pretty well last time. Should start around 8 - 8:30, and in true ztoical tradition I'll be bringing along any comics and items of interest I come across between now and then. Your job is to bring pens, papers whatever you want to draw with or talk about. Oh and you need to decide is the 4th August ok? Thumb pointed out it was the bank holiday weekend so if it doesn't suit we can do the 18th?

As usual all are welcome!! Whether you intend to draw or simply want to talk comics and enjoy the alcohol loving atmosphere you'll meet a reasonably friendly bunch and see many a picture of flying penises (I'm trusting you with this Kyle!)

The last couple of jams were pretty successful if anyone can actually remember them, so come along and see it as training for 24 Hour Comic Day. You know the bar is nearer this year so time to brush up on those drinking and drawing skills!

Either weekend suits me, lets hear what others say.

I DARE them to try and have it the same day as my so far unsuccessful comic jam! I guess thumb agreed to come so at least I won't be sitting there like a total loser. How do you do it ztoical?

being stubborn and thick headed helps!

I'll be there so it won't be just you and miss ninja. So is it the weekend of the 4th or the 18th?

Tree

the fourth would suit me best, any bbq that might go ahead weather permitting would be on the sunday.

the Shades

It's now officially the 4th Damn anyone who tries to argue adn you have a whole extra day of weekend to recover!

the Shades

When: August 4th from 8pm
Where: The Duke pub, Duke St., Dublin (probably upstairs)
Why: Because you love it!

Ok so far I think I've roped in some newbies for the Jam and John Hendrix has agreed to put in a notice about with the weekly shipping list from the 3rd place. So yay! Free advertising. Thanks John!

Be there or miss out on boozy naughtiness... All we need now is a table of Americans.

Tree

noooooooooo no more amreicanas, cliodhna is not allowed to buy them shots either'

ztoical

Shades pour vous


And tree cliodhna didn't buy the shots, Shades did, cliodhna just forced them to drink them

the Shades

It was a co-consipracy on the shots, team effort etc. The only annoying thing was the Americans ran away after and didn't continue to party! Light weights

Cant make this weekend I'm afraid, I'm being forced on pain of pain to go drinking for my flatmate's birthday. I'm afraid you'll simply need to make up the excuses for inserting penii into the comics without me.

On the plus side, this reduces the likelihood of your group featuring any horrendous shirts and bad haircuts by about 4000%...

sleep space for teh tree would be handy too if noone objects

the Shades

Not sure how things will be with the moving... although a trip out to Sutton would be easy enough so I'm sure sleep space would be possible We always sort something out lol
