July Happy Fun Time Meet-up Thread

LenaClaire

Who is up for a meet up in July? I am thinking either Friday the 8th or Saturday the 9th.

Needler

Ah sure the 8th is underrated as a day with 7 and 9 usually stealing all its glory so might as well go with that. Besides life must be hard with two odd numbers beside you

miss_shadow

8th is good! always liked the number 9 though.

Look what you've gone and done, making me log in to boards at work. :eek: Take a look out the window, it's a lovely evening. Nothing like a cold beer on a night like this. Packing can wait till tomorrow!

I'll pop in for a couple on my way home.

Yes, beer helps you pack better! You can bring your packing list and we can audit it for you. You will actually be saving time

How did ye get on?

LenaClaire

There was a Mexican band and free sombreros. It was fun! I am very hungover

I woke up at around 6 for the baby and took some painkillers and a gallon of water, sorted my hangover out.

There was a jaguar parked outside the house when we got back, cue a very drunk me on jaguar photos.

Thee mexican night was quite good, i was impressed. zeppelins bar was a bit hazy though, I can remember being outside and someone taking a photo of me

No, you were trying to guess where he was from by his accent and no you never smoked the cigarette. He smoked it himself.

You have a terrible sense of direction when drunk. :P

I never felt too great at 7am either, we had another shot in Fred's which consisted of Jaeger, Absinthe and red Aftershock.

LenaClaire

I think Mudokon is the only one of us that clearly remembers Fred's. I didn't even remember doing shots there until just now reading that we did.

Oh lord

Last orders! (for a July meetup)

deRanged wrote: »

just a suggestion - a few of us talked before about heading to the Abbot's Ale house for a relaxed tasting session some evening. Basically land in and try a few of the varied bottled beers they have there.
I wonder would people be interested in that?

What do people say to doing the above on Friday or Saturday of next weekend? I guess Sunday is viable too, given the bank holiday.

Might not be a bad idea maybe a few people will be away seeing as it's the BH weekend.

You're just making excuses after what we said about the Abbot Ale house the last time. :pac:

Ha, ha, maybe that too! But Im hoping to go away with a certain boardsie. Arguing at the mo about it, hard work I tells ya. Say Ill only go way for two nights so may make a night with ye, coz I loves ye;)

FTGFOP

There's a Steve Reich festival on next weekend too I just found out.

Ha ha, assume you'll be going the Fri/Sat nights if you go. Might see you on the Sunday then if you're around. You coming to Easy Star All Stars?

FTGFOP wrote: »

Sounds a bit intellectual. Killing brain cells with beer was more what I was intending for the BH weekend.

FTGFOP

I'm a fan of the guy, so I feel like I have to take in some part of the festival. That doesn't preclude drinks in Abbot's, though!

The ideas behind his music are relatively intellectual, but the music itself is very accessible. Music for 18 Musicians goes down easy That's being performed on Saturday, thinking about going to it.

Anyway sounds like you're up for Abbot's in theory, Mudokon. When suits you? Sunday's fine by me.

What date is that again? If it is the 7th I don't think I can make it now. Might be going away for a few days..

Sunday will work for me too.

Had never heard of Steve Reich, music sounded okay. Don't think I'd sit through a whole concert though.

Yep it's the 7th. You're mad for the weekends away.

LenaClaire

Okay - Sunday at Abbot's it is then! What time are people thinking?

I also need to remember to get a superstars ticket after payday

Not sure about Friday, what time are you heading up there? How are you getting there? Got your text but they are making me work for my money today.

Third time's the charm - forgot it was bank holiday Monday, Sunday sounds good.
