Limerick Boardies Meetup

panda100

So following on from a suggestion before Christmas, I decided to go ahead and start planning for our very own Limerick forum Meetup. I checked and its been 2013 since the last Limerick Boardies Beers :eek: For shame people.

It will be a nice opportunity for us all to put faces to names, meet, mingle and have a bit of fun! I'll get one of the mods to do a poll with possible dates. In the meantime any suggestions for a good spot. I was thinking The Blind Pig or Red Hen?

Clareman

I'll put up the poll when you have some options

Saturday 30th January

Hmmm not sure about free booze but we certainly should be able to wrangle a free Baddass Burrito for the Birthday Boy considering the amount of publicity this forum has given her over the years

Great stuff guys. Shall we say 8pm The Blind Pig on Friday so? I've had a few pm's from people too so there should be a bit of a gang feel free to pm me if you want.

Could one of the mods change the title of thread with date and time please?

Looking forward to meeting you all. Watch out limerick here come the Internet geeks!

I think I am too much of a misanthrope to partake in such an event.

How will you identify each other? How many will be there covertly and not identify themselves? :O!

Panda has identified herself as a woman, so there's that. And I reckon she has black hair and white skin, or vice versa, and she may be chewing a bamboo stalk.

If we all look like our usernames that would be awesome! I hope FobleasNuck shows up. As much as I would love to look like a big, grissly, black and white bear I probably look more like my avatar than I do my username.

Misanthrope's are more than welcome. I've been at a couple of boards meet ups on other forums throughout the years and always enjoyed them. It's a nice way to meet people you would never normally meet. Feel free to pm me if ya want to swap digits so you know where to find us

We had a boards meet up in the Old Quarter awhile back. Got a couple of free rounds from the manager there. He was a boardie. Goodnight by all.

Here's hoping the barman in The Blind Pig is a boardie!

I might drop in but it will be around 9pm. How will I recognise everyone? Do we have a secret handshake?

I'll stick up here where we are and you can pm if you can't find us I do like the idea of a secret handshake though that may become mandatory as the night goes on.

myshirt

Let's keep the process democratic, put up another poll. Awkward hug or lame coolguy handshake.

We are sitting at the back downstairs!near the toilets and in front of the mirrors

Clareman

How's the evening going then?

mynameis905

Thanks to everyone for showing up and to panda100 for organising the inaugural meeting of misanthropes anonymous a nice boards beers and a very cool evening

Saturday 30th January

Smallish turnout in the end but it's all about quality not quantity! The boardies are a lovely bunch and I thoroughly enjoyed my evening with you all must do it at some stage again

Swiper the fox

Fair play to anyone who went along, I was never likely to turn up myself as I've quite a big family and weekends are for that(says he on the laptop at 2pm:o) but I was following with interest to see how many would drop out coming closer to the event, the relative anonymity of Boards must be tough to break. However it also probably means there'll be a virtual love in among certain posters now who will be very slow to cause offense (intentional or otherwise:p) to each other.
Anyway, hope it was indeed a great night, any scandal??:pac:
