Anyone here heading to the main boards beer on the 12th?

snorlax

i'm thinking of going but i'v never been to a main one before. i'm just wondering if anyone has ever gone to one and if so what are they like?

regi

I'll be going, anyway.

They tend to be big, very big. We've had easily over 100 people at some.

It gets a little cliquey - groups form up, so wandering over to people and saying 'Hi, I'm <blah>' is a good way to meet a whole bunch of new people.

Its always very good natured, rather drunk and fun.

Agent Smith

i'll be going, so at least you'll know one person

John

I might go depending on funds

snorlax

ah no ill be bringing my sister, possibly seb and mark along (hopefully). i see that the venue has changed to the White Horse, i hope it's a decent bar!

Crash

I'll be there. havent made it to one in a year or two, so might as well

DrIndy

on call that night...... hmm, may be able to swap with difficulty......

Jonny Arson

Where is this beerage taking place?

regi

The White Horse is on the quays opposite that Den of Sin, Liberty Hall.

Its a nice pub, but it was getting a bit small really.

snorlax

well looks like a few people i know are going now so should be good fun:), does it have a dancefloor?!

regi

Nah, fraid not. Its just a late pub.

I think the last time we were there, and people wanted to boogie-woogie, we went up to Fireworks.

snorlax

oh dear god not Fireworks ......

Nietzschean

its closed now anyway...well afaik

John

Just remembered I'll be going to see The Dirty Three that night so I'll be a no-show.

ClareBear

I might go. I don't know yet. Have 2 other things to show my face at that night but hopefully I'll make an appearance for a while. Been to one before....think it was just one anyway. Twas alright. Just suss out the people you won't get along with early on, stick with the people that seem like fun and you'll get on grand. Helps if you know at least one other person though.

rsynnott

I'm considering going; I've only been to the Queer Beers so far; not the main one. However, I'm a coward, so may not.

snorlax

just getting ready for this. im considering only wearing jeans and runners, dunno though is the white horse fancy?

rsynnott

It would, I'm sure, do no harm to wear something on top

I'm not going; too busy.

masteroftherealm

Dam I totally forgot bout it. Was wondering why the crowd outside smoking looked so familiar!! I was sitting across the road waiting for my bus warwalking on my PDA going hmmmm they look familiar ... weird.

Crash

my head really hurts.

Right there with you. there was a most excellent party in clare's place in goldsmith hall, i did those funnely things with cider where it goes straight down into your stomach. well i did two or three of those, alongside an ill-advised mixture of beer, cider, vodka, bacardi and coke in one big cup.
much shenanigans later i'm at home with a sore, sore head and a dry mouth. i cant go to bed or ill get the spins. curses.

i will regret this tomorrow.

snorlax

i bumped into Serenity and everything, good night!it was very hot and crowded up there though.
