Let's go to a gig...

Galvasean

Inspired by the recent event type threadsI saw a poster for this yesterday.

SHOCTOPUS and XEROSUN join rock n' roll forces in aid of the Special Olympics Ireland Team. We're trying to raise as much money as we possibly can to help them get to Athens, Greece this year to compete.....and we need your help!!

What do you have to do? All you have to do is show up in your legions, pay €5 at the door (all of which goes to Special Olympics Ireland, Charity Number CHY 7556) and enjoy a night of rockin' mayhem. You can also buy raffle tickets for some great prizes, and again, all money goes to Special Olympics Ireland.

There'll be drinks promotions on the night, live sets from XEROSUN (9pm) and SHOCTOPUS (10pm), after which DJ Ant (of Bruxelles notoriety) will be spinning his discs of metal until 2:30am.

So invite your friends, family, boyfriends, girlfriends, pets, enemies....whoever....and come out to support the cause.....and have a great night while you're at it

Doors are at 8:30pm and admission is €5

We hope to see you there!! \m/\m/

Proper music and inaid of a good cause.

Any takers?

BaconZombie

Sounds like a plan, but I don't know if I'll be around on the date yet.

And for other Anti FriendFace people it's on Saturday 7th May.

Who from which band do you know?

Galvasean

None actually. However, a comedian I know sent me the link (he volunteers for teh Special Olympics).

FewFew

heh heh, ah ok, just knowing the bands playing I can't imagine anyone encouraging it unless they were somehow involved :pac:

Galvasean

Probably a combination of seeing Bacon Zombie and the poster in quick succession had me think, "Didn't I get an invite to that... hey, there's an idea!"

Galvasean

So... anybody else interested?

Christian Rock, it's takin' over mannnnnn!

Galvasean

Well if they do Aeroplane by the Chili Peppers it might be worth going to (the Communion that is).

Still though, Communion over rocking out? Dayum!!!!!!!

edit: Actually it's been a long time since I partook in the catholic 'give kids money in exchange for their souls' programme, but don't Communions usually take place during the day?
Go to both?

micayla

Well mine's in Kerry so making it back in time may be a little difficult:P

Also my niece can hold a grudge and I'm technically a stand-in Godmother!

Church at 11
Meal at whatever time it's finished in some far off town. Not sure why it aint in same town as church...but anyway!
Drinks during and after the meal continuing on into the night....that's how it was for mine :pac:
What if things have changed since then
....
:eek:

........There BETTER be a feicin boozin session at this!!! I'm not going to church unless there is alcohol guaranteed at the end :mad::pac:


I'm the only friend of his Mothers that he actually likes apparently.
Plus he trusts me soo much he ate the dinner I cooked which had onions and peppers included(which he hates with a passion). He said only because it was my cooking would he eat it....not even for his own mammy has he ever even attempted to try them before.
All this after a few hours of hanging out with meh. I is finally cool.:cool: .....amongst 8 year olds at least :pac:

Surprised some more noteworthy bands didn't want to get involved, don't they realise how massive Boards.ie is?

Shiminay

Well all those bands are Boardsies (or have some Boardsie members) which is the stipulation for joining in.

Anyway, further news to entice you all out on Saturday...

It's my birthday and if you don't come, I shall close the Nocturnal Forum, site ban all of you and cry myself to sleep....

Ah yes, but I think most Irish bands have at least one person on boards. I'd have committed my own lil outfit if we weren't on hiatus. Just think it's odd that more didn't jump on the positive introwebbbbbz publicity.

Anybody coming in tonight?

The metro-guy with the cardigan over his shirt seemed like he was in with a chance until he started dancing with another girl and that offended the lady in red, rookie mistake.

Yeah, she was confident of her good looks, she certainly wasn't going to settle for someone half assing it to get a bit of action. Metro-guy lost it big time.

Galvasean

She wasn't too keen on my leather jacket... the philistine!

I think I was too honest with her, she was trying to get me to take off my jacket and hoodie and my response was "Do you know how sweaty the t-shirt underneath is going to be at this stage?!" :pac:

She didn't have a problem with the jacket, just that she couldn't fathom how you could wear it as it was roasting, quite frankly I agree, I was melting in just a t-shirt, dunno how you remained steely cool with a leather jacket on dude.

Steely cool. That's me in a nut shell. :cool:

Galvasean

Oh yeah, I actually fella sleep on my bus last night and missed my stop. The usual 1 minute walk from the bus stop to my house was replaced by a half hour one :mad:

Maguined

Ouch, I am pretty lucky that has never happened to me, but then the fear of ending up drunk in Tallaghtfornia is good at keeping drunk mags awake enough to get my stop. :cool:

Galvasean

It would have been worse only this chick i barely know woke me up. Lucky escape

Maguined

It could of been worse, you could of fallen asleep on her and drooled like a champ. Girls don't like drooling.
