Xmas beers, TONIGHT 8pm in Capitol Lounge

My name is URL

The venue has been sorted, and tables have been preliminarily reserved for us.

If we get enough people in by 8,30PM we'll get 2 complimentary bottles of Champagne from the management of Capitol

So it will kick off at 8PM and the bubbly will be provided on a first come first served basis.

The dress code is smart/casual and it's important that boardsies are sober upon arrival at the location.

It should be a great night..

So, will you be attending?

WindSock

No

I can't guarantee I'll adhere to those terms. I have a tradition of turning up to these things unsober.
What's the deal with the singing songs bit? Are all the songs organised?

shivvyban

Can I possibly come to the beers? (even though I'm practically just a lurker?)

I'm washing my hair that night

Well once they don't breathalyze people it'll probably be ok =p

don't think any songs have been organized yet... improv FTW!

I hope they play Winds of Change...

A big thanks to the General Manager and Staff at the Capitol Lounge on this one.

As you can imagine the run up to Christmas is a very period time for them yet they still managed to squeeze us in.

All Cocktails are €5 before midnight, and Mojitos are €5 all night…

I always stumble on Jingle Bells. I think we need to take the carols bit more seriously. Get the numbers, have rehearsals and organise baritones/sopranos etc. Then when we have got our gang we can go to that bearded tosspot on the Vodafone ad and headbutt him one by one.

D'oh!

I made a bloody mess of that post...

No

If anyone has any questions regarding the Capitol Bar door policy etc. drop me a PM.

The bouncers are known to be on the strict side, but they are fair.


Thanks.

I'll be there. What's a mojito? Whatever. I'll have it.

I'll be drunk (x1400)*

but not before we go in.

Two bottles of champange? Pretty poor offering.

Better than two bottles of warm piss with a hair floating in it to be fair.

Doing the 12 pubs of Christmas that night, so unsure if i'll make it. I definitely wouldn't be turning up sober.

PCPhoto

No

will mark it in my Diary - unsure at the moment if I can make it - will know closer to the time.

OldGoat

Depending on my bouncebackishness and recoverabilityability from the previous nights collection of events (including tGC Beers) I may or may not show my face for the free bubbly. Thats as much of a committment as I'm capable of making so far in advance.
Oh damn me and my hectic social life.

If were meeting up to sing a few I can bring my guitar along and I'm sure there are a few other boardsies who can bring guitars,bongos etc......

Bonito

No

will capitol mind it for you?

Im comin but i need someone to hold my handy as i havent been on a night out in dublin yet

If I practice real hard I may just be up to playing Jingle Bells on the Ukulele I bought last week.

Jesus Wept

Some of them are probably doing that thing whereby they put 'Yes' but don't turn up... :-/

The Master

No

The chords for jingle bells are

C , F , G7 , D7

Simple

I've also been chatting to some posters that put down "no" but they will be there.

minidazzler

No

I know there should also be a couple more who haven't voted that should (better) be there.

Kiera

Maybe

If I go..... BE NICE!!!!

G-Money

Where is the definitely maybe option?

I'm definitely threatening to make an appearance at this. If I do, I will be entering the Capitol in a Batman style entrance, through the ceiling.

However I could quite possibly also talk myself out of going by then.

entropi

Hoping i can make it, we'll see on Sat i guess...:)

If you really want something mental try half tequila, half vodka shots.

So we have interest in beers in the capitol lounge,:D Awesome!



Will we be carolling outside St Stephens Green for the Santa Strike Force Fund before hand????

I have no bother organising lyric sheets and music sheets for those who want to attend.................

But there's no way I'm turning up with all that gear only to meet you all an hour later and you couldn't be bothered turning up for the carol singing cause you went on the piss instead?

opinions guys?
