Boards Beers Cork 4

nesf

Just want to get the ball rolling on this one. A few non-cork people have expressed interest in joining us, possibly.


First Saturday in July suit people?

dudara

I was wondering when adam would surface from the muddy fields of Glastonbury to start this thread as usual!

Would Friday be better?

I'm thinking that people would find Saturday easier if they were travelling down for it.

D-Generate

As in this Saturday?

dudara

I'd personally prefer Friday, I really dislike town on Saturday nights. Eughhh!

Also, it's traditionally been Friday, hasn't it?

/btw: Those foreigners travelling to the true capital will have to adopt our customs

Still though, whatever the majority decides

No it'd be Saturday week at the earliest.

Hmm, I'm just throwing out ideas here btw. I'm happy with Fridays, just might make it tough on ppl travelling is all.

rymus

Hmmmm saturday. better than getting home on friday evening and being too bloody tired to take on a marathon drinking session. (no.. I'm not old but I am getting there).

I suppose if there was going to be volumes travelling down for it it'd make sense to have it on a Saturday. Aren't all the jackeen beers on a saturday anyway? We have to conform..

Nukem

Leaving for NY on Thursday so il miss this one too
I'll make cork beers 5 i hope. Unless a random twist of fate happens again.

Sure have a vote.

rymus

ahh but that'd be democracy. What we need is a dictator.. some handsome chap or chapette that can grow a devilish goatee and pass down authoritive communique to the minions via a loudspeaker or series of same.

dudara

a devilish goatee and loudspeaker you say...

/reaches for black marker.

rymus

curse you and your dudararaish doodlement! Nothing but genuine hair shall suffice. To that end I suggest you begin a harsh course of hormones post haste!

If its on Friday (1st) I'd have to head off at around 7.30 (maybe strech it till 8) as there are goodbye drinks for a friend from work. For that reason I'd prefer Saturday because I'd hate to leave when the nights just getting started.

nesf

I was envisioning it happening on Friday the 8th or Saturday the 9th. To give ppl time to get time off etc.

I will however be out for a pint or two on Friday the first anyways. No idea where yet, but if anyone wants to meet up just text me or if you don't have my number, pm me and I'll give it to you.

A poll could work....

Anyone got venues to propose? I liked the Well the last time. The beer garden rocked

rymus

in line with the communist regime, I say the Well or be damned!

It was an initiative test. Nesf wins the prize; or rather he won the prize last time. Boom Boom!

I was going to hold off posting until Monday and hope people wouldn't notice. I can't do this Saturday anyway as I have a house party to go to, and I wouldn't be mad about tomorrow as it's too short notice and my system needs another few days to recover.

It's traditionally been Friday at 5pm to trick people into coming straight from work, so their inhibitions disappear nice and early. This has met with mixed success, in that the aim is achieved, but I'm usually so locked by then all the uninhibited stuff flies right over my head. As usual.

My vote would be for next Friday at 5pm in the Well, let the foreigners take a half day and toddle in a bit later when we'll be tipsy enough to make the introductions a pleasurable affair.

I can accomodate three people in my gaff btw. As long as they're from Cork. And female. And single. And willing. And able.

The weekend of the 8th/9th July is out for me, as I am taking me wee sister to oxegen for the Satuday.

Ah well.

Dizzyblabla

the 9th, I might just make it, I've the Irish Youth Choir all week, but as far as I know the concert in Kilkenny is at 1pm, and I've to go home early from the afters party anyway cause I'm going to Milan on Sunday morning, but I could show my face!!

nesf

Eh, on consideration...

We're small enough and closely knit enough to just randomly appear in a bar if others were wanting to come down for a pint or such.

Friday the 8th it is then.

Well sounds good too.


*doffs cap to the redoubtable master*

JohnK

Gets my vote of approval

dahamsta

Nesf, I hope some of those people coming from outside the Republic are single females. We're starting to run low here.

adam

rymus

Dizzyblabla

Aaahhh... I'm missing it again!!! I'll be in Waterford - BB5 better be the best one EVER!!!

How about just getting to know the ones that are here?

Have you been to a Boards Beer? There ain't that many females to start with and those that attend are pretty much all spoken for.

simu

Well, ya never know what might happen...

No, but I only registered this week. Which means I don't know anyone online here much, not to mind IRW (but there are folks on here I could swear I know, or know friends of friends; Cork's small enough for that!). Not mad keen on RW before know ppl well anyway (cf thread started by me elsewhere).

Well to be fair, there aren't that many men either. There's quite a high female to male ratio at them.

There's an amazingly easy way to fix that situation. Now if only I could remember what the solution is...

dahamsta

BTW, if ye're serious about making BBC5 in August a mainstream Boards Beer, now's the time to start organising it. At the very least someone, uh, popular and, uh, eager* will need to start a thread in System > Events to get the juices flowing. Maybe push it as The First Big Boards Beer Outside Dublin or something.

We'll also need to figure out a venue that'll work for both possibilities: i.e. tons of people showing up, or just the usual half dozen. The Well - most places in fact - won't work because they start packing up at <8pm on a Saturday (it'll have to be on a Saturday) and people won't be able to filter into a group. The Tower would be perfect, but of course if it rains we'd be screwed.

We'd also need people to take charge of creating threads about travelling to and from Cork, where to stay, etc. Be nice if we could organise a few bits and bobs for the craic too, wee competitions or a gathering in Fitzgerald's Park on Sunday, things like that.

Probably not both at the same time...

rymus

I'll do it!

LOL. True, so true

Fast_Mover

dahamsta

I think we agreed on next Friday the 8th for BBC4. Dunno about BBC5, but I'd suggest mid-month.

adam

rymus

so is it definately tomorrow then?

if so.. "curses" (exclaimed in a cartoon character fashion). Heading to Waterford tomorrow evening for some tall ships action. If it's saturday, I'll see ye saturday

nesf

I've pencilled it in for tomorrow on my hectic social calander.

Won't be out till 8ish. Will want to get home after work and chill for a bit.

JohnK

I'm free both nights so I'm easy

dahamsta

Well, cheap...

I wasn't going to go, but if it's only going to be the two of ye I'd feel guilty!

Yeah, saturday night would be fine for me. Didn't have anything planned for it.

dimerocks

JohnK

So, whats the plan then? Is it tonight or tomorrow night?

dahamsta

I'm not really in the mood today, truth be told, and I have the youngfella tomorrow so that's out.

adam

nesf
