    Fantastic. So a pub around there somewhere would be ideal so :)

    Maybe Hogans on Georges St? It's close by and pretty decent. Most of the pubs in Temple Bar itself are awful!

    Other suggestion is The Mezz which is about 20 seconds away from the restaurant. Grand place, often has live ska/ funk.

    How does the whole dinner thing work? (sounds a bit of a spanner question but I missed the last one). Like we meet at the pub before for a drink or two, then off to the restaurant. Do we then go on to another pub afterwards or just stay at the restaurant until closing then go our seperate way?

    Just go with the flow really. We met up beforehand last year which was nice to have everyone going in together and relaxed after a drink before sitting down, but it's up to the individual really. The beauty of a dinner is you can just walk in and tell them at the door which party you're with and they'll lead you to the table. You can avoid the whole hoping you walk up to the right people in the pub thing. :)

    As for leaving and going somewhere after, I guess we'll just leave and move on when everyone is bored of sitting in the restaurant. No time pressures or anything (other than being on time for dinner we get cranky when we're hungry :pac: ) would just be handy to have drinks venues chosen in case anyone wants to join up afterwards for a drink.

    I have provisionally booked a table of 15, probably looking at getting the table for 8ish? Can anyone who is on the above list and definitely can't go let me know sometime before Friday the 18th, or anyone who would like to go and isn't on my list let me know as well. A group of 20 - 25 would be awesome. :)

    I was sooooo nervous going to my first (and only, so far) TLL meet-up.
    Within about five minutes I was baffled as to why in the name of God I had been nervous in the first place! :o
    (especially because the first person I met was RQ and she turned out to be a splendid person altogether.)

    Ah I'd love to go to this but I just do not have the guts to put myself out there at such a big meet up. I'm out for this, but would definitely like to go to a smaller one later in the year.

    Fair play for setting it up!

    To be honest. I would be surprised(and delighted) if we got half the list there. People get too nervous, something comes up, by the time it comes up sometimes people just can't be assed, people don't have the money by the times it comes up.

    With the dinner you'll only be sitting around a couple of people anyway. I was in a heap the first time I went to strange people from the internet, had a beer trusted into my hand about 10 seconds later and all was well.

    Think about it. I can guarantee you'll be wondering what the hell you were worried about. :)

    Hey ladies - is the plan for dinner then drinks or drinks then dinner? Just asking in case anyone (including me) wants to do drinks only - will ye be moving on from the restaurant? I know when you have had a nice dinner with drinks it can get very cosy and hard to move :D

    I will probably be working that Saturday and finished about 7, so if anyone nervous who doesn't like the thought of walking into a big room of strangers wants to meet for a pre-dinner drink, I'd be up for that. :)
