Dublin DinnerDopeFest - April 11

Ah bollox I just found out yesterday that I’d already got tickets to see Paul McKenna at Vicar St. on that evening. Maybe I can come for a starter & a pint, then go to the theatre afterwards?

I don’t know what to be more disappointed at. You not being there or you going to Paul McKenna :wink:

Paul McKenna: the poor man’s Derren Brown.

Paul McKenna: The poor man’s Paul McKenna.

jjimm, if you decide to join us for a pint after the show, I don’t want you breaking into a Vegas Elvis impersonation or finding yojimbo irrestibly attractive everytime someone clicks their fingers*.

*And there may be much finger-clicking - micilin gets very beatnik after a few jars.

Doh! Irresistibly - it’s like my fingers couldn’t believe such a thing.

Blimey, yeah. If you see him reaching for his beret or producing his bongos, for God’s sake don’t let him anywhere near a microphone. 90 minutes of impromptu jazz poetry is enough to spoil anyone’s night.

Daddy-o

Hey, if you squares aren’t hip to my scene, maybe I need to find me some real gone freaks who dig where I’m at.

<Ahem> Now back to your regularly scheduled thread…

Just saying that I cannot wait!!!

I promise I won’t be a spaz.

I heart you, Annie. Have a good time. Be a spaz for me.

Thanks, Frannie, but the question is:

Where are we going and what will we do?

I’m depending on you Dubs to choose a venue. Maybe a few of us could meet up again on Saturday for lunch to catch up with The Jjimms?
I’m not doing a good job at organizing like Frannie usually does. Maybe I need a flag?

sorry guys, i’m out for a friend’s 21st/baby shower/engagement party.

yes, it’s all one friend, and yes, they’re very happy!

have a good night though!

I have just been found out that I have to be in Manchester next Thursday and my flight back is not until 6pm on Friday, 11th.
Sorry about that, but if dinner is due to be at 7pm in the city, I won’t be able to make it.
(I know, after all my whinging)
If the plan is still to be in Keogh’s later that night, I will see you there, though.

PS
Bump

send one of us your mobile number so that we can inform you of venue changes.

Decisions, decisions.

I say we ring Tante Zoe’s and cuss out when they’ll be hassleing us to leave. If it’s around 8:30 I can live with that. Eat, leave, then get drunk :slight_smile: I would say that somewhere that’s a late bar would be better off to drink in as we wouldn’t have to move.

Yay/Nay?

Just rang them and the early bird stops at 7 so no go. We’d have to be there earlier.

So where else?

Cheers, Twisty.
I have numbers for a few of the troops so I shall send them a text this very evening. And just for good measure, I will send you an e-mail.
Not much point calling it a mobile phone when I leave the silly thing at home on the hall table, is it?

Let’s just keep this all clear:

I’ll be staying at Avalon House if you need me and I can ring Twisty’s mobile in case of confusion.

Would it be better to move ‘The Big Event’ to Saturday night? I dunno, it’s all up to you, but if three of the eight can’t come on the Saturday and the rest of us are free, we could change it, and dine earlier (in time to get the early bird stuff). We could still meet up on Friday night, too, if you like (I’d like to, otherwise, I’ll have to go to MotherinLaw’s for interrogation- I mean- dinner.

alls good with me.
