    Seeing as discussion of this is kind of lost in the general thread, I thought I'd put up another one for it.

    My girlfriend has college this evening after work, so it looks like I'll be heading on my lonesome :(

    Is anyone else going? Fancy meeting up beforehand and going as a group? Save me from being the loner in the corner!

    I'm going on my lonesome as well so wouldn't mind meeting up beforehand as well. No drink for me since the car is the only way home.

    Awh that's a shame :(

    It's weird that they're playing in Ireland. If there's even a slim chance you can go you should try to drag yourself out as I wouldn't imagine they'll be playing here again any time soon. (I'd say this tour is just because of the whole Scott Pilgrim thing)

    Retr0 was saying that their NES has a ps1 LCD connected up to it. Worth going just to see that! :D

    Unfortunatly on a Wednesday night I'm always tied up looking after my son cos my missus goes out which is fine by me cos that means I can play xbox and drink myself into oblivion:D

    Hey I am going aswell on my own, would be delighted to meet up with some fellow boardsies. Name a place and a time to meet up and I am there!

    Bring him to Anamanaguchi! :pac:

    Just stick on a fake tache and give him some random facts to learn about 8 bit games. If questioned about his age he can then throw out loads of obscure references to old videogames. Kids today don't know about about games pre ps3/xbox 360. It's the perfect plan :D

    Good thinking but his mother would kill me just imaging bringing a 3 year old along to 8 bit mania. come to think of it he'd love it.
    Just listening to them on Myspace now and I'm totally loving it I can't believe I've spent so much time without knowing of these rad dudes...yea I said rad dudes;)

    Would be there with bells on if I could.

    I'll just listen to Dawn Metropolis and cry instead.

    They have a gameboy hooked up to a PS1 LCD screen as well. It's all controlled by a laptop and some bank of dials and swiches. It's pretty cool. They could have played a recording but instead they have the actual gameboy and NES pumping out the music. They were dead sound as well, signed Sera's 8-bit heart hair pin she made and were drinking with the crowd in the pub afterwards.

    Yay!!!

    Wanna meet me and Retr0 beforehand somewhere?

    Just saves me going on a man-date with him. I don't want to make Sera jealous :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    Slanderous lies!

    That plan might actually work.... would mean I wouldn't have to make up some ridiculous reasons as to why I wasn't in work and why there's pictures of me having amazing fun on facebook when I should have been working...

    I'm up for it too, was afraid I would have to go alone after my thread in the gig buddies section was ignored...

    They sound quite good, I'd say it'd be a fun show to see live.

    Unfortunately I'm going to a talk on the future of print media, and I can't miss it because it might settle a drunken bet. :D Plus it has free tea and biscuits.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 886 ✭✭✭randomchild


    So people still up for meeting before hand? How would 7 in the pav in trinity sound? (cheep drinks).


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,967 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Sounds good to me. might be a little late depending on how the traffic is and if i can get a parking space.

    Ack, that involves associating with students :(

    How about the Gypsy Rose? It's right beside where the gig is on and all drinks are €4..including Captain Morgans. Nyom!

    Do you remember where I live? Parking should be free outside and there'll be spaces. It's about a 5-10min walk up to where the gig is.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,967 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Not really, I usually try to find a space on the quays which is hit or miss. Could you google maps me?

    I'm easy with where we go to meet up.

    Also Captain Morgans, I hate it becasue it's horrible but even more because you can't get a Morgans Spiced Rum anymore since that crap took over, a far superior beverage expecially mixed with coke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 886 ✭✭✭randomchild


    Sounds fine to me, i'll be wearing a space invaders t-shirt so yous know who I am :).

    Don't think I'll be there for doors opening, so can't meet beforehand! Will be knocking around inside somewhere, the beardy guy with shortish-black hair (probably 50% of the crowd will meet that description mind!) Am going with the gf so no worries if I don't run into anyone.

    I thought captain Morgans was Morgans spiced rum? I confused!

    I will also be wearing a space invaders shirt.

    It's probably not the best tshirt to use as something to identify someone at a chiptune gig :D

    I'll be the beardy guy with long brown hair and a black luminous green space invaders tshirt. The shirt should be pretty hard to miss :)
