Rock & Metal Forum Beers - July 3rd - Fibbers Rock Bar

Malice

Okay then folks, we've chosen a city (Dublin) and we've chosen a venue (The New Fibbers) now we need to choose a date. For simplicity I'm going to assume that a weekend will suit the most people. Going with this suggestion I'm putting down the next four weekends. As before, please vote on what weekend suits and let us see if we can get this thing nailed down.

I'm going home to Galway next weekend but other than that my schedule is pretty clear.

Angron

Heading to a friends 18th next weekend, other than that I have a pretty open calender

I'd rather avoid this weekend too. Fridays aren't great for me cos I'm usually at a match, and could be awkward.

any weekend except the 25th/26th is fine by me. Cant make saturdays though, Thursday or friday nights would suit perfectly.

Twilightning

July 16/17

I put down July 2/3, July 9/10 and other. Upon further thinking I didn't put down 16/17 because I thought I'd be in Scotland but I actually won't be, it's a few days after. So yeah! Any of the times suggested in July is grand for me. A few dates in and around the start and end of August could work too but I doubt that'll get much response. July sounds the best bet.

Thread stickied. It appears I forgot to do that yesterday.

Are we any closer to deciding on a date? Next weekend seems to be the most popular but we need to decide whether Friday or Saturday suits (or we could do both nights )

Can those of you who haven't responded on this thread please confirm whether you can make it on Saturday or not. I've attended Galway Boards Beers in the past where 20+ posters have said they'll come and then 4 turn up so let's not have that happen this time!
Also feel free to bring non-Boardsies along. Show them that meeting a group of strangers off the Internet isn't as scary as the media would have you believe .

There's a World Cup game on at 7:30pm so I intend to be in the pub watching it. Does anyone know how busy the pub will be at that hour? Is it worth ringing ahead and getting a table or two reserved?

I very much doubt they will be showing the football in fibbers tbh

And I doubt also that they reserve tables! However they are normally never all taken before 7 or 8 anyway

I'll be in there this evening to meet a couple of mates before the Slash gig. I'll throw an eye around the place for a tv as Spain v Portugal is on tonight,want to catch a bit of it before the gig.

Never noticed a tv but i was never looking for one before.:)

There's free wi-fi :P

There's no tv's that I have ever seen (I always sit opposite the bar beside the jukebox and pool table, there may be one the other side of the bar though)

No tv in Fibbers unfortunately,despite a "view setanta sports here" sticker on the door.:D

Streaming over free wifi seems the way to go if you want the football.

Anyone know a decent cheap hostel I could grab for the night? Otherwise it's gonna be hell getting back to Longford.

Righto, I reckon I'll try and catch the first half of the match somewhere else and then head in to meet you lot so I'll be in there around 8:30. Does anyone have a particular area of the pub in mind to meet up in (don't say the gents)?

I don't fancy having to go around to various groups of people asking them if they're from the Internet so some sort of prior arrangement would be good .

Now if it wasn't a pub, that's probably the sort of thing the police would be looking out for :P I've never been in there before, so I have no idea where anything is. Also, my friend was saying it's 21's, but I'm 18, would there be any hassle in me getting in?

Max Power1

theres a bunch of seats at the end in a kin of segmented area near the pool table, walk in, past the bar on the right, fag machine and jukebox on your left.

Depending on how many are planning on going, that could be a good place to go. They may be taken by 8.30 though.

I doubt it once we're there early enough but sure if there is any hassle we can always explain who we are and how important it is for the pub to be nice to us.

Well then, Mr. named after a hairdryer setting, your job is to get in there nice and early and make sure it's ours!

I'm gonna head up on an early enough train, give me time to meander around the city, find where Fibbers is and so on.

Balls. I can't head to this now, a friend of mine switched the weekend of his 18th to fit another who's off to America on Monday, so I'm going to that.. Hopefully I can head to the next one if we have one.

That's a pity. I'm sure we will arrange another one in a few months.

I forgot to mention earlier and it's probably a bit late now but if any Cork city-based Boardsies are reading this and fancy a lift up and back, PM me and we can arrange a lift. You'll have to organise your own accommodation for the night but that shouldn't be too difficult.

Ah yes, the old "If it's any good I'll stay but if it's not at least I have an excuse to leave" trick :pac:

Max Power is minding our seats from about 5:30 onwards . I doubt I will be in that early but we'll see.

Ah, well speaking of "tricks" - looks like im playing the "get there earliest so it doesnt matter if its good or not, I'll be buckled so it WILL be good from my perspective"!:p
