After hours house party: cover charge and open late. Would you go?

xzanti · 22-11-2005 10:44AM

Id go to that... Sounds great, used to go the White Horse on a Saturday morning after a night out, havent been in ages, great atmosphere.. Like being out in the club all over again.. They'd have the curtains closed and a DJ playing.. Great craic altogether.. Opened from 7am to 12pm..

Slattery's used to be good too, is that still going??

In concept its a good idea but there have been flaws pointed out by other posters.
Unless you made it a somewhat members only thing and the only way you could become a member was by being brought by a member a few times and showing good behaviour.
The €10 cover charge would be fine, personally wouldn't have a problem paying that. Keeping the scumbags out would be quite simple (if you used the member thing),a quick rule that said any member who brings scumbags with them won't be returning would probably stop them thinking about it.

Though, usually after a club or something I head into Moda for some wine and food...it'd be hard to beat that.

boards free gaff sounds great count me in.

xzanti · 22-11-2005 11:26AM

rb ie....

What if everyone had to come with a badge with their boards name on it??? No badge no entry???

Dyr · 22-11-2005 11:43AM

How would mods cope with such a house?

"OMFG she's talking about xmas pressies!! right no talking from you for 10 minutes"

"I said NO talking from you!! You're banned now!!"

*cue mod huff*

ferdi · 22-11-2005 11:53AM

yeah, they're powerless in real life! no mod would show up, they'd hate not being able to ban at will!

No 'cause that doesn't prove their character.
If say at first a few people who the owner knew were given "memberships",then they could bring along a few people who after behaving themselves, showing respect for the owner and property etc would get a "membership" themselves. Then in turn they could introduce new people, should those new people behave themselves, they get a "membership". And it goes on and on and you'd have a load of "members" who you knew were well behaved and you could trust not to make a mess of the place.

Oh and whoevers commenting about the mods, meet nesf in real life, you'd be surprised how nice a guy he is.

Charging a cover charge and having no vetting (friends only etc) is asking for trouble....
Insurance is just one thing that springs to mind... if anything goes wrong.... you are screwed.

Dyr · 22-11-2005 12:18PM

Obviously one is commenting on the stereotype of mods, not all people who dress like mod's behave like that, I know some and they're decent people etc. Or maybe Im just racist against mods. Or Modist (modest? me?)

Yeah insurance if it is people that are not mates. I remember years back (after a few too many smokes) coming up with an idea of renting a small flat in town. This was 10years back when it wasnt so expensive. Get a small room for €100 a week. 10 of you pay €10 a week for the rent. We were brewing beer at the time so the flat would double up as a brewery (again 10 years back when the cheapest can was €1.27 but you could brew pints for pennies, now brew kits cost about 4 times more and beer is cheaper). The idea was that we would hit the flat after the pubs, the €10 rent would be offset by the cheap booze and the fact you could crash there rather than get a taxi home.
The flat would have just a stereo and a few old chairs, nothing much to get broken, who cares what it looks like when you are sober!

Organise a bus out to Dollymount strand. Include alcohol with the bus ticket. Not fantastic during the winter, but it could be superb during the summer months, especially if you can get some music equipment organised.

I'm sure an Garda would clamp down on you eventually, but it would be class while it lasted....

Doesnt something like that happen out in Brittas Bay during the summer??.. Never gone but sounds great...

nesf · 22-11-2005 03:14PM

Mods are people too

Think our gang was accused of starting that a few summers ago. We were down at Brittas about 9am, only people on the beach and some guy went mad at us.

After Hours party is a great idea but like so much other things in life it could very easily get ruined by a minority. Pity tho, really would be cool. :cool:

they'd have to whip out the oul mod stick for such situations

Dyr · 22-11-2005 11:43PM

aha, capital idea, i have a number of similar sticks myself. It could all be settled in a gentlemanly manner in the garden.
(note to OP: boards house will need a garden or else light fittings might be broken during stick duels)

:v: < don't mind bambi folks, he's full of it

silence pakthing!! :mad:

OLDYELLAR · 22-11-2005 11:52PM

Na I wouldnt pay to go to a house party , next thing ya`ll be looking for 2euro to leave me jacket on the seat .
Can I be the person in the loo spraying people with lynx etc and getting a euro per spray?

amazingemmet · 22-11-2005 11:55PM

About three years ago there was such a house you speak of. some lads rented a place just off scr and had no furniture in it and had three levels of music. you had to be in the know to find out where it was. No cover charge, they payed the rent for the place by selling pills and blow etc. Was running for about two months before the neighbours complained enough to get the lads evicted. Never any hassle with scum etc.

Hello,

I'd like your opinions on this!

We all know having to go home at 3am sucks. Sometimes the night is just getting started and all you want to do is keep drinking... (etc etc.)

If there was a large house/apartment in the City Centre which opened at 1 AM, had a cover charge to get in (€10 - includes 3 cans of beer?) and was full of decent non-scumbag people, would you go?

It would stay open until 7 AM.

There is a DJ.

(I don't even know if this is legal.)

Opinions??

Great idea as a matter of fact i used to go on occasions to a house like this (except you didn't get beer) in my raving days many years ago,the flat/house was in Dorset Street and went on all nite with a DJ playing some topp tunes (it was more or less a rave),had some mad and messy

nites there,if what your saying here is true put me down definitely:D

Slutmonkey57b · 23-11-2005 01:19AM

Get a job in a pub for a couple of weekends. That'll soon put you off the idea.

fischerspooner · 23-11-2005 07:19PM

I can't believe there are people saying "don't you need a licence to sell beer?" "What if someone is hurt??" etc. etc. These must be the type of people who get into politics and try and nanny us all...
I think it's a great idea, are you gonna get it rolling or what? Dublin is such an awful place for parties, or maybe I just know the wrong people, so having somewhere besides a stupid bar/club to go to would be great.

Agreed. Also i think you know the wrong people as everytime i've gone clubbing theres either been an after party/session going on.

After hours house party: cover charge and open late. Would you go?
