Pin striped suit possibly. I can't remember the Michael Jackson video, but they wore 30's era suits commonly seen on gangsters during that period. They suit women very well actually

Sounds like fun... Hmmm... costumes... I tend to go with Zorro as my old reliable. Lots of swashbuckling and the like!

I know usually the queeer beers are in a non gay bar esp as sometimes people who are not out go to them but this is fancy dress, so get a good out fit and you will be grand.

electrobi · 14-09-2010 6:54am

Fancy dress would be a good icebreaker I feel and as it's not at Halloween there might be more people free to go.

Kanoe · 14-09-2010 2:00pm

I'm thinking of being in Dublin that weekend anyway even if it's not selected so if anyone is popping along there let me know and I can stick my head in and say hullo.

AssaultedPeanut · 14-09-2010 9:24pm

Not gonna be in Dublin that weekend *sob*

Annasopra · 29-09-2010 7:09am

This is on this Saturday - do you not think it would be a better idea to organise an event just for boardsies?

It was just a suggestion, if people want to do something else then thats cool.

Sounds good, gonna be up in Dublin this weekend anyway! (And no money for the Debs thats on!) Thaedydal it says members and their friends, don't know if that means open to the public does it? Would be interested in going for a lil bit anyway, though would have to find a costume! Its on a bit early for halloween tho isn't it?

Would be up for another boards meetup too, will make sure to dress more casually next time though hehe!

:D

I know I'm not really a regular poster or anything, but thought I'd add my two cents. I think these sort of meets can be particularly useful for people who don't know many gay people and are perhaps intimidated by the scene. So I think you'd lose several potential attendees by sticking with the Pantibar event. You'll be getting a good group of LGBT people together no matter where you go, so there's no need to restrict yourself to gay venues. Jeepers, it would be nice to go somewhere else for a change. What about Sweeney's? I've personally never been, but it seems to have a good buzz...

L.Jenkins · 30-09-2010 11:04pm

Well if it's a case of heading to Dublin for the night, anyone got a place to stay because I know noone living there now.

A lemon, Thaedydal wasn't suggesting an either/or she was just letting people know about the event on this weekend in case they wanted to go.

Cool - didn't mean to sound like I was criticizing anyone. Hadn't read the first page of this thread, probably should have!

Did this ever happen? I was at the Ryder Cup at the time, but now back in Ireland with a blasted kidney infection.

Agreed. I need a night and I'm in dublin next month for miscellanious appointments. Night out anyone? Galway would be nice too!

brandodub · 10-10-2010 4:10am

Hi I've never been to a meet up from here before but would be interested?? did I miss the last one ??

I organised the last one - would anyone like to volunteer to organise one for October or November?

the thing in Pantibar never happened, again I'll ask would anyone like to volunteer to organise one for October or November? - If you do, please please start a new thread with a poll for dates (give people option to choose more than one date - we had the last few in Pantibar, Market bar and dakota but ask for suggestions

I would organise it, but this blasted kideny infection is keeping me away from the pub and nightlife in DUblin at the moment. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Alright, I'll make a few suggestions. The only thing is, I don't know if people would be interested in going to a gay bar or ordinary pub or club. On saying that, I know of no gay bars so suggestions would be needed and then the option of which town or city people in general can get to is another issue.

Well if we're talking about Dublin, gay bars are absolutely horrible. Some gay nights for example RIP which takes place monthly in the Button Factory, are a good alternative.

Annasopra · 10-10-2010 9:27pm

I've put a poll for dates

Keep on coming with suggestions for venue

umdanone · 11-10-2010 1:21am

Il be in Dublin on the 25th of November for a gig. Im only a new poster here but id stay on for another night if there was a night out planned for the 26th.

Funny, I would have said the opposite.

You don't like the alt nights? Maybe I just hate Dublin's gay bars because A) I hate the music they play weekends, chart and diva tunes just isn't my bag

The toilets remind me of being 16 in fibbers.
The Dragon is OK but it's too small, I like moving and not being squashed when I'm out, idk.

Can't please everyone. But finding somewhere we can all meet and have a good time is what it's all about and I think people here are 50/50 on the gay bar scene.

Annasopra · 12-10-2010 12:41am

anyone else want to vote in the poll or suggest a venue?

I really really don't! Don't care for Dragon either

I don't go out very often nor do I listen to music so chart stuff is fine for me and I've just always found the George to be more relaxed and fun than other places.

Nope, the amount of voters on a poll does not correlate to the amount of people who will turn up and also 5 more people have just voted - however some of the now 12 are not regular posters here

I just voted, I'm not a regular poster but I do read the forums.

electrobi · 15-10-2010 1:41am

Short notice but is anyone going to RIP in the Button Factory...tonight(friday)!!?

livlondon · 15-10-2010 12:32pm

I should be over the weekends I polled for (20th and 26th). Want to put some names to faces.

Annasopra · 18-10-2010 11:58pm
