Dublin DinnerDopeFest - April 11

Ok, since my other thread sinks like a bloated stone, I’ve opened a new one. Hey, look at it this way. This is one less war/anti-war/Iraq/media hype thread!

Tenatively:

The Gotham Cafe (on South St Anne Street, off Grafton Street) at 7pm or thereabouts on the 11th of April, Friday. If you can’t go there, then meet up for drinks at Keogh’s afterwards.

Here is the list, I think:

  1. Me
  2. My friend Sharon (not from the boards)
  3. jjimm
  4. jjimm-ette (?)
  5. Twisty McTwist (I think)
  6. yojimbo

Pretty poor showing, considering there are two non-dopers and a whole new mess of Dublin Dopers who’ve registered recently. Not that we won’t have fun, of course, but it’d be fun to meet the new folks.

Off the top of my head, how about inviting:

micilin
manwithaplan
hibernicus
curly chick

and Irish/Dub people I’m aware of but never met:

mogiaw
glass onion
elfje
UDS
irishgirl

Holy mackerel, Batman, I’ve never been to Gotham.
Count me in.

yeah, I’d love to see some faces from the SDMB, but Fridays are a bit iffy for me.
Saturdays or even Thursdays would suit me better.
I’m leaving for Wales on a Hiking weekend on 10th April, so I won’t be around for this meet, but yes, please keep me informed of upcoming ones, and I’ll see if I can make it!

tnx

:slight_smile:

I’ll be there but you knew the anyway.

Or in other words, BUMP :slight_smile:

Thanks for that bump, yojimbo.

I cannot wait!!!

SHOPPING IN A BIG CITY AND GOING OUT WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY A BABYSITTER!!!

So anyone else? Do I need to mail ya :wink:

I shall certainly be there.

Count me in. Defo! And count mrs. micilin in too.

Also I admire your attempt to civilise the affair by calling it the ‘Dub DinnerdopeFest’, but - going on previous outings -the ‘Dub-quick-bite-to-eat-before-lashing-into-the-gargle-in-Kehoe’s-DopeFest’ might turn out be more accurate. :slight_smile:

Defo? Cripes! Got a bit of a prang on the old kite, but should make it back to Blighty for tea. Roger wilco, binkie, and out.

Is this like verbal Mornington Crescent?

    The weather was absolutely tropical today in Galway, thank god. I’m also probably going to the fair city for the Easter holiday, please help us, for the bi annual MIL/FIL grandchild bonding session where they try to indoctrinate her into the Catholic faith but stuffing her full of chocolate.

I should mention the other one is Crimbo.

No, I just thought micilin sounded like Biggles.

‘Defo’? Biggles? I meant it in a thick Dublin accent.

Now straighten up and fly right, jjimm.

Ummmmm I’m from Dublin too… cant make it though (having only met about 10 net friends last week in town and now stony broke)…

Just wanted to say Hi fellow Dubliner here (though am a wannabe American lol - no slaggin’, bf is there and I ain’t - whine, bitch, moan!!!).

Sordy, I shouda sed ‘Biggo’ den.

Oh, go on then, mail me!

  1. hibernicus

Oy, Anahita!
You missed me off your list.

Don’t tell me I’ve been barred from polite SD society already?!?!

Usually people have to meet me at least twice before they decide that I lower the tone.

UPDATED then:

  1. Anahita
  2. Her friend Sharon (not from the boards)

  4. jjimm-ette (?)
  5. Twisty McTwist
