Alt/Indie beers, does it ever happen?

Stompbox

Pretty self-explanatory really, I wouldn't mind a creamy Guinness accompanied by musical ****e-talk!

rcaz

That'd be a Beers I could get behind.

Id be up for it!

Would be nice to talk to people about music without them going "you like WHAT?"

MidnightQueen

I would definetly be up for that.

Is it not too mainstream for you?

karaokeman

I'll be up for this if it goes ahead.

:pac:

Stompbox

I suppose if you add your thanks to my initial post so we could have an idea of numbers. Suggestions for date/location, people?

Anseo on Camden Street.

Nice quiet place for the alternative/indie folk to discuss all things music.

Maybe 23rd January?

Not sure many people would be up for pints on a Monday?

Bernard Shaw, good for chats but maybe a bit out of the way?

Twisted Pepper, good for chats before 10 or so. Then we can all get yokes :pac:

Porterhouse, on a Wednesday (I think?) they don't have music all the way up and all their homebrews are €4 a pint. Hop Head ftw :cool:

Stompbox

All good suggestions to me lads, exams are over on the 20th so as long as we clear that date I'm onboard. The Bernard Shaw is a good spot.

4Sheets

Good Idea..but why exclude the other music forum..get a big crowd..
or ye could always come along to this event

I'd be up for it. As long as we don't discuss Oasis or The King of Limbs

I'd imagine there will be Oasis/Radiohead talk at some point but if there is you can always change it to a band you like.

Or Bernard Shaw that also suits me too.

I actually have exams ending on the 19th myself so thats fine with me too.

Stompbox

So what's the story with this guys? Seems like we have a good few keen on it. What night of the week would suit people best? We can sort it out from there I suppose.

rcaz

Well you're free on the 20th, what about that night?

No can do, I'm afraid! We're hosting a house party what with the exams finishing so I wouldn't be able to make it to a pub.

I am free that night but I might be going out with my friends from college that night.

Anytime soon after would be fine.

There's a party in Stompbox's gaff, we'll stall there, I'll get the crew :pac:


How about the 21st? I'm free from work at latest 10, I can be anywhere in town by 10:30.

Stompbox

The 21st is good for me. Venue? I remember I was in some Alt/Indie music bar down by Tara St. Station a while ago. Veeery cheap pints also.

Handy, I've heard of somewhere good around there but I forget the name. Post it up when you remember?

Birneybau

If I'm not mistaken, Stompbox is referring to O'Reilly's below Tara St. station, was €3:20 a pint. Not 100% it still is, no reason it aint though.

damselnat

I'd be up for it, don't get paid till the 24th though so maybe if you have another one sometime I shall have to call in!

Stompbox

Well, I guess we could leave it until the following end so we have better numbers!

And Birneybau, yes it's O'Reilly's that I was on about. €3.20 pints is a sweet deal, can't recall what the music was like though!

smokedeels

They play Rock/Metal music in the mold of Fibbers on Saturdays. I'm not sure if that's always the case.

karaokeman

So whats the story how many people are actually going to this?

So far only myself and El Pron have thanked the initial post.

Stompbox

I think people seem up for it but they're not thanking the post. How about we decide on a time, date and venue, lock the thread and then create a new one with the details in the title?

Sounds good, just hope that will have everything sorted.

rcaz

So are we pushing it back a week?

KnowYourEnemy

Yaooowl!

karaokeman

I should probably be able to make it any night this week except friday.

Stompbox any chance of an update?

AnonoBoy

Just so you guys know - I will be stalking you at this event.

KnowYourEnemy

Will there be hot indie chicks?

Stompbox

How about we hit up Anseo this Saturday?

karaokeman

Thats cool, I'll do my best to make the trip up.

Saturday nights are actually best for me because I live out in Leixlip and the nitelink buses only go that night and friday nights.

Friday nights don't suit me as I have work that day but saturday's perfect.

rcaz

Hate to be that guy, but I'll have to bail. My best mate got a 21st birthday organised for him at the last minute for this Saturday. I can't not be at that

Stompbox

Ugh, I've also been informed that a 21st that I thought was on this Friday is actually this Saturday.

Let's plump for the Saturday of next week as it's far enough in the future for people to hopefully not have other commitments. Everyone good with Anseo_

Stompbox

This sorta fell by the wayside, let's make it happen again!

Maybe we should make it happen in the afternoon sometime or earlier than 10pm anyway.

Think long commutes could be a huge factor for people not being able to make it.

Okay, this has to happen soon or else it ain't ever gonna happen.

I was in the Porterhouse on Nassau Street last week and I noticed that they run a Music Quiz every Tuesday night. Think the prize was fifty blips and some free beer.
