We’d like to get togther with ya’ll - as a group or individually - each night. We’ll piddle playing tourist during the day then meet up with whomever in the evening. You can’t miss us. Kal is 6’2", long black hair and a goatee. I’m 5’9", long dark hair, no goatee. 😃 As this is our first time in Dublin, we are unfamiliar with the pubs n such. You guys decide the place and time for Monday night and all other forays can be decided upon then. ---

The White Horse? Alright for a post work pint when everywhere else is packed but it’s not really any good for a group bigger than 4 people. I’ll throw out O’Neills: Hey we haven’t been there for a while 😉 SoSueMe: Lots of room The Pav: Irishgirl can sit on my knee 😛 Brazen Head: It’s the oldest pub in Ireland and a nice one to boot Keoghs: Great Pint Bruxelles:_makes Demon sign and shouts_ Rock and Roll Nearys: Good pint, nice pub McDaids: History, good pint, beside Bruxies 😉 **curly chick** you’ll have no problem finding me when we eventually settle on a meeting place. I’ll be the one that looks like Joe Duffy ☹ ---

We’re also open to the idea of liquid lunches… **jjimm** : We’ll be dropping you an email later today. ---

I am that merry wanderer of the night. I jest to Oberon and make him smile when I a fat and bean-fed horse beguile, neighing in likeness of a filly foal; and sometimes lurk I in a gossips bowl ---

You could check out the photos [here](http://uk.geocities.com/dubghirl/DubDope1.html) for a look at those boys ugly mugs. Give you an idea of what you are letting yourself in for. 😃 Don’t think I’ll be able to get down unless I win the lottery this weekend. So skint. January is a long, long month after the wanton revelry of the past few weeks. Plus, think I need to give my liver a week off. Its only fair, once in a while. ---

Why don’t we go mad and go to the Dawson Lounge!! THAT would be funny!! And at least we wouldn’t be able to miss each other!! ---

_bump_ OK, so how about we make a decision where to meet today in this thread, for any Dub residents who haven’t got anyone else’s contact details ( **curly chick** et al)? I reckon that Mulligan’s is a good bet for the following reasons[ul][_]It’s probably not going to be too crowded on a Monday night.[_]As an intro to the city’s pubs, it’s a ‘proper’ Dublin pub, not a trendy spot like, e.g. Sosume. Plenty of time for that during the week.Best Guinness in the city, IMO.[/ul]So, anyone agree? What time then? ---

Or what about the Dawson Lounge, as **cc** suggested? It would be like one of those “how many cub scouts can you get in a phone box” things they used to do in the 70s. ---

Mulligan’s is fine by me ---

So with two votes for Mulligan’s, shall we say it’s passed by a quorum? What time, then? ---

Hm… I’m nearer “any time after 8”, as I have to drive across the city to dump my car at home, then get back into town. Don’t peak too early… ---

Well, she used to be. Then she discovered _shandy_. Oh well, to her Oregonian sensibilities it’s an exotic cocktail. ---

Mulligan’s is just across the road from work so that’s perfect for me. 5.30 suits me fine.
