    Big News: I popped into the venue there last night to sort some stuff out and it has been transformed! I think it was designed with the noc forum in mind! Everything from the music and movie posters on the walls.....down to the Bram Stoker's Dracula pinball machine!! :D This night just keeps getting better!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    Epic. if this goes well we may have anew Noc hangout spot on the cards...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,964 ✭✭✭ToniTuddle


    It sounds awesome :)

    Like will it be a case of you not being allowed in until the doors open at like 8 or something......

    Or

    Is it a regular pub and you can be in there all day on the beer if you wanted too? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,746 ✭✭✭✭Galvasean


    nothing to stop you going in early... and watching me and grames calmly and collectively finalising preparations...

    A great night apart from all the ignorant arseholes who wouldn't stop talking whilst the acts were on. Wouldn't have been as much of a problem if the venue's sound hadn't gone pop and they'd arranged a proper replacement for the lads, but what can you do? Top notch line-up though and a great show. GG to Commander Bond and Galvasean as always.
