Grafton Street Friday

ekehoe

Unless my doc tomorrow says that I can't, I'll be on Grafton Street Friday morn starting around 9:30 or so. I'll stay up there til about 6p, and then that will probably be my limit (okay, maybe I'll go out with the lads for a pint (milk)).

Who shall I expect to show up? I'll be there even if no one does, but it would be a lot more fun if I had some friends out there :-).

I think i have said it in about 3 threads nows, but I will be there! You won't be alone

pete

Not sure if this has come up before - but which part of Grafton Street?

Xithus

Ill hang around for awhile.

Bard

I believe Elana was talking about the south end of Grafton Street (opposite St. Stephens Green Centre), which is a typical place for protests and religious nuts.

[Edit]: Oh... and I'll be there, by the way,... maybe not early (likely to be hung over)... but for most of the day ...and for pints (not of the milky variety) later on.

Crash&Burn

I could lock my net cafe and show up for my shift .........sounds like and plan..................humm and maybe I could sign a few auto-Graphs as well

seamus

I'll be there.......but I don't know anybody except Chief--- and I don't know how often he looks at this board. I have college til 2 (in theory) so I'll be there for the Afternoon shift

Trojan

Have you got a leaflet you will be handing out? And is it online?

Cheers,
Al.

Just curious for what time does the blackout start.

I assume it is from 12 Midnight tonight!



So see ye in dublin tomorrow!

Best regards.

oh look... it's Gladiator.

I'm there in spirit, really would love to actually be there, but I'm in Germany, sorry.

DeVore

I'm having the busiest day of my business career almost!

I'm gonna try and drop down in 5 mins (about 4:15) to see people anyway. You'll all get to laugh at me in my suit

DeV.

Trojan

Leaving work now, there in ~ 40 depending on Dart...

Al.

Hobbes

erm how long is it on for? and where's the drinking to be had?

jamiecake

whats going on?

Baz_

very half hearted there hobbes, go you sockcucker, go now!!!

Hobbes

erm some of us had to work you know. Anyway I bopped up to both ends of Grafton street and there seems to be no one there, unless some guy on an organ singing harry khrishna is part of your group.

Anyway bopped into Netshop and said hi to C+B, checked O'Neils and then got lost looking for DNC (But then I did ask directions from two other netshops )

Currently sitting in DNC now wondering WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYONE?

*ahem*

So should I be moving from pub to pub looking for people wearing all black????

MiCr0

hobbes
they were all in front the guy with the keyboard

Hobbes

What keyboard? I didn't see anyone. =/

I'm in DNC again at the moment... bring beer (and food).

LoTR fans may want to check out gameshop.

sutty

I must say, that was a p!ss poor trun-up. about 10 people in all.

Glad

I was there, i think i met sutty, and maybe hobbes, and i did meat devore, kinda just crunted at each other

Baz_

Hobbes, I think you know already that I was kidding, and if not, I was. I'm in no position to tell anybody anything not being in Ireland and all.

Glad, I'm sure Dev is a good kid in real life, but he was having a stressful day also and he was probably in the mood where people just want to have a laugh with mates, and not to psychoanylyse(sp) somebody about why they go on like a plonker on the boards, but I'm sure that if you behave yourself this time, he'll be much nicer to you at your next encounter. Also since he now knows what you look like it would be a good idea to behave yourself (tehe kidding)

Baz_

Glad

he seemed in fine mood to me, more of made strange noises at each other then grunted. you had to be there, it was funny at the time. I was trying to get afew more of my mates to come along specially the one that only dresses in black.
if i had of known no one would rent a mouse suit i would have got one myself, i know this place on baggots street


and btw its Saturday,

omg their actually protestin on the street lol hoot hoot

DeVore

Actually you seemed like a perfectly reasonable bloke, I was just up to my tonsils in people I know through the internet and have never met before.

I certainly dont have any problem with you and you seem to have toned things down here (at least Bard hasnt complained about anyone recently )

It was hella cool to meet everyone face to face on Grafton, I wish I wish I could have gone for a load of pints but I was running off to another meeting (Yesterday was about the busiest working day of my life).

Meeting up with Elana, 80p, dahamsta etc was cool even if they took pictures of me and dan handing out fliers (we started telling people "Anthrax-Free Flyer? Madam?" and NOONE would take it from us...weird eh!)

I still think Elana should name her child FRIACO. *giggle*

Seconded...thanks to all of you who showed up, esp Seamus, Corkie and naidahoc (sorry for spelling!), who kept me company most of the day. I feel like I've been run over by a truck :-).

Gawrsh, wonder why? :-) As soon as I can find my adapter, I'll put up the photo of the flyer on the eircom van :-). Maybe they were scared of the suit?

I still think Elana should name her child FRIACO. *giggle*

Depends which comes first :-). Besides, eircom probably has already trademarked the name :-).

Great time yesterday, and thanks to everyone who showed up. I think I sat down for a total of 20 minutes from 10:15 until around 6. We must have just missed Hobbes (we decided that when we ran out of flyers we'd for drinks), sorry about that!!

Emm...obviously someone who's real name is Seamus. Sorry, I arrived about 4pm(damn college), and there was just that keyboard guy there . <hopeful>Is there plans for another??</hopeful> I was all stoked up yesterday, I would even have just gone down the pub if I was that late

Lemming

Sorry I didn't show up guys. I had my college graduation ball the night before ... so you can probably imagine the state I was in on friday afternoon when I woke up

I wonder why we missed you...there were a bunch of us all in black...no big banners or anything. And Mr. Hare Krishna took our spot when we weren't looking. Oh well, everyone who was avoiding him bumped into one of us! :-)

Sorry we missed you!

And Glad, I don't think that DeVore is either...I didn't pick up an American/Canadian accent off him at all.

Good of you to think of me Fraid I was burried up to my tonsils in work a couple of hundred miles away at the time.

Perhaps you could post a photo?

K

Glad

Not bloody likely, i can just see what would be done to it.

Devore, you went to belvedere right? do you know a sports teacher up there, calls every one kid, semi bald guy? he knows me and my brother well or at leasted he did.

Dustaz

Brendan Leahy ? He used to work in St. Joseph's CBS in Fairview.

If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all - so I wont.

corkie

I just like to thank the commitee for the warm welcome they gave me in Dublin on Friday.

It was good to finally meet and put a face to people on the boards.ie

I was going to post some details about the day and about my
trip to Dublin. I had nice piece written offline but my computer froze and crashed out before I could post it.

I will rewrite it and post later.

Best regards,

Hey guys,

I guess I missed you, along with hobbes - because of work & darts etc I didn't get in until just before 6. The Hare Krisna guy was good though

Some innocent by-standers wearing black jeans and jackets must have thought I was a very strange person too

I found some all-blacks of the New Zealand variety and went to the pub instead

Sorry to miss you guys, but well done! And I really want to see that picture of the Eircom van
