Beers? BEERS! TUESDAY 24TH MAY!

Twee.

So, it was suggested that it's about time this forum had a beers! For those of you unfamiliar with the term, it's when people of the forum have a night out, and well, have beers. Everyone is invited, no matter how big or little your interaction with the forum is. Bring your mates, come alone, it's all good. We can arrange to meet up before if you don't want to wander into a venue by yourself.


Here's my suggestion. Tuesday 24th May at The Workman's Club, Wellington Quay, Dublin 2. They are having their monthly Vintage Dress Dance. It starts at 8pm and goes on until midnight. It's €5 entry, or €4 if you come dressed up in your vintage Mad Men inspired gear! They even do old style cocktails like Tom Collins and Manhattan. There will be 50s and 60s music to dance the night away to!

I know it's a Tuesday, could be awkward for some, but it ends at 12 so it's not so bad. We can always continue the night on if we wanted

So, let's see the interest and get this going. If we confrirm it happening, I'll sticky.

Check out their website.

Here's a snap from a past dress dance

I've not got mad menish inspired clothes but I have a nice little dress and heels I could wear! I'd love to meet up with some of the F&A gang!

degausserxo

I won't be in the country, boo! Dammit, would've loved to go.

Asphyxia

Huh! I hate not living closer! All the way down in the South East I'm afraid!

Dolbert

I'll go! Love the sound of this

OldGoat

I may just crawl out of the woodwork for this.
Now, whats a mad men?:o

tomissex

I'd love a night out but I work on Tuesday nights so not this time

Novella

That's the day after my birthday! I'm toying with the idea of going on holiday with my friends on the Monday so I'm not sure if I'll be around. If I am, I'll go though.

Popular TV series set in the 60's about the Madison Avenue marketing/PR company big wigs. Not a huge fan of it personally but the suits in it are great!

Couldn't attend anything on a weekday, work, work, work. Themed nights wouldn't be my thing either. Nevertheless, I think it's a great idea for the forum so best of luck with it!

Acoshla

Oooh, I so totally want to go to this, and Tuesday almost suits me perfectly because I work mainly Wed-Sat (don't do anything strenuous on a Wed ), hmmm I really want to go but would either have to stay in a hotel etc or drive 2 hours home at midnight....I'll have a think and see what I can do, really would love to go!

Pepe LeFrits

I laughed when I saw the thread (a fashion beers - think of the shaping that'd be going on!) but this actually sounds like fun... and I just so happen to be wearing a grey suit with a skinny navy tie today. It must be a sign.

reallyrose

I could potter along for a few hours. Oddly, a week night suits me more cuz I need my weekends for thesising.

Now folks.
It's just the fashion and appearance forum. On a themed clothing night.
No pressure on your clothing choice.
*runs to shops* :P


I have a Mad-Menish dress I could wear. Any excuse to wear my new red heels to be honest.

Twee.

Oooh glad to see interest in this! Good few maybes in there!

I know the day is very awkward and by all means this won't be the only beers we ever have, just thought it was a cool fashiony theme to run with. There's always time in the future for a Saturday night session.

Weeknights suit me better too, Reallyrose. I work in venues/nightclubs so Monday and Tuesday tend to be my nights off!

There's also a band playing on the night, if that's an added enticement for anyone And the band wear little matching outfits. Link to their music.

Acoshla

Ok my plans for the following weekend have been cancelled so I am totally on for this, I can either get the citylink home at 2.15 (gross), drive up and drive home at midnight or stay the night somewhere, will check out prices and see which is the least awful option! Can I wear a rockabilly dress??

Pepe LeFrits

I live in the Blanch and would likely get a taxi home, if that's any use to anyone.

Ooh yay! Well let's see. If you drive up, you can't have a few cocktails :pac: Bus at 2.15 could work if people are up for continuing the party on afterwards. If you wanted to stay over on the super cheaps, the Barnacles Hostel is about a one minute walk from the venue, and they have beds in female only shared dorms for €17.50! I'm sure you'd get a good deal in a hotel either, with it being a Tuesday night.

I'm in Palmerstown and would gladly share a taxi home with anyone heading our that way. The Clarion Hotel at Liffey Valley is near me, they're doing rooms for €59.

reallyrose

I'm actually all excited for this now! I haven't been out in aaaages.
And because it is on a week night, I won't have to feel like so much of a social reject for not drinking!

*Plans make-up choices*

So who is coming? Twee, Spadina, me *attempts to remember the rest of the thread*

My boyfriend might come too, any excuse to dress up nice There's a bus at 23.59 so might get that to go home, will be home by 2.30ish, which is better than 4.30 if I got the later bus!

Pepe LeFrits

Maybe sticky the thread?

Twee.

Thread has been stuck! I got Old Goaty to put it up in the Burlesque and Cabaret forum, so we may get a few heads from there! I figured they'd be interested in this too

Oh gosh I don't know what to wear! Well I have an awesome hat. Outfit will be built around the hat!

Well anyone who's definitely coming needs to state now or over the weekend so we can get an idea of who to expect.

Does everyone know where the venue is? I can PM my number and meet people if needs be, or if someone doesn't want to walk in by themselves.

reallyrose

Meeeeee!

I'll be there at 8

I figure I'll just hang about looking uncomfortable til I see someone I might recognise from pictures on various forums.

Larianne

Hoping to make an appearance :pac: at this. I'll send ya a PM Twee.

Oh, just realised its Mad Men sorta wear... off to the net to see what they wear and hope I have something similar!! Arrrgghh pressure!

Twee.

You don't have to dress up! But you save a euro on entry if you do

squeakyduck

Can I go non mad men then? Ill come in for a few then I've to go to a leaving party of a friend!

Twee.

Yes of course! Come down and have a cocktail and enjoy the band! They are awesome!

Pepe LeFrits

I'll be there. Looking forward to it.

Twee.

Excellent! If anyone needs directions or wants to meet up before, throw me a PM.

I've a non-Boards mate coming possibly too, so that's one more!

Acoshla

Pepe LeFrits

So is this just going to be me, twee and reallyrose? :pac:

Guess I better give a description so you'll recognise me: I'll be in a grey suit with a skinny red tie. Aiming for 8pm as it's an early one.

Dolbert

Have you stepped outside today? Such a hat would last approximately 0.000000023 seconds before it was off exploring roof-tops.

Twee.

Yeah, there will be lots of elastic and hair pins!
