Next Shindig – May/June

I should be fine, finished college already so I’ll be free, and I’m sure a few of the demonWare lads will also be there.

21st sounds good to me!

21st has my vote,
as does Toners.

yorkshire accent: “t’were a bit on the smelly side last time tho”

21st and toners sounds great to me!

21st is good, don’t mind where we go once theres pints and some floor space for Dancin’ Dave…

Well, I’ve never been to a shindig before (a gd.ie one I mean, obviously I’ve been to other shindigs, I am a student after all) and am looking forward to it mightily. One thing, where abouts is ‘Toners’, I know Mahaffeys well as I’m in Trinity, anywhere near it?

go to top of grafton st (so that stephens green entrance is on your right),
hang a left along north stephens green,
keep going straight it becomes merrion row
keep going straight it becomes lower baggot street.
Toners is on the right at start(ish) of baggot st.

its just under 10 mins walk from top of grafton st.

geocities won’t let me remote link in – so just right click and save as.

Aphra had a map up on the news section a while back for the last shindig. She also included a paragraph on how to find your way to the bar, I can’t find it now though. Maybe she or someone else still has it saved…

Hi all,

I guess I should say I’ll be able to make that May shindig and can reserve some tables in advance.

If you are looking for previous directions to shingigs you can go to the resources section on the top navigation bar, click on calendar and use the search facility.

Or I can do it for you! Here is a cut and paste re Toners…

Location: From Stephen’s Green North walk past the Shelbourne Hotel and towards Merrion Row/Baggot Street. Keep walking straight with Upper Merrion Street on your left and Ely Place on your right. Toners is a wine & black pub and will be on your right on a corner. If you reach Pembroke Street on your right you have passed it and gone too far.

The shindig will be downstairs. To get there you can walk through the pub to the back where there is a stairs or walk around the side outside where there is another door. I will put up signs so you know where you are going..

Still unsure? The address is 139 Baggot Street Lower.

:D I know friday night has proved a popular choice for the majority…

but I have yet to make it to a shidig because it is on a friday..

maybe june or july can be on a different day?

I’d love to meet some of you guys :D

Well how about the idea of a shindig bbq then at some point over the summer, maybe the June or July one? It’ll make it extra worthwhile for people travelling, or we could have it outside Dublin?

21st still looks good for me.

Jamie

and me….

and me… )

I’ll pop into Toners this evening and reserve a couple of tables for us downstairs..for next week.

by the way if anyone is in town later I am meeting a few people in Mahaffeys…trying to keep both establishments happy!

Aphra.

Woot…next week…feels like so long since the last one! I wont be arriving till late so ye all better be heading out after too :)

Dave

Just moved some things around so I’m all good to go.

BTW, when is the Donegal surfing weekend?

mm, had a go at ‘that song’ this weekend…I may be about to ruin a song for everyone, for life ,but anyway..if anyone else is good at lyrics I could do with a co-writer!!

Aphra.

I might come by, but I’ll need to overcome the fear first. Anyone going to be early?

I should be in around 7pm..

Aphra.

ok everyone, tables are booked for downstairs in Toners.

A few of us will be there early, around 7pm, and I’ll stick up a few posters for people who don’t know what we look like. Feel free to drop by and say hello – the more the merrier…

for those who are arriving later – we will try to be in a soberish state!!

Aphra.

Maybe we could get a preview tomorrow night?? I heard GreenBean is putting together a short dance routine, just a few steps to go along with the song so I just want to make sure everyone is moving in the same direction. One of these days Greenbean and Dancin’ Dave are gonna have to have a dance-off, the last time the titans clashed was that fateful Christmas shindig…

now I said nothing about singing..although maybe I could drag some people off to a table in the corner and people could provide me with more gossip mm, lyrics..on Tony!!

Aphra.

Don’t miss this spectacular evening of “Dance”, drink, talk & more drink! Feturing “Dave Of The Dance” in the Dance-Off Challenge!

LOL, I’m not missing this one…..

Hope he wears that shirt!

thanks to all who came out on Friday night. There was a great turnout and we had the entire downstairs to ourselves so there was no problem finding us!

I know I have to send a bit of info to some people so drop me an e-mail or PM and I will send that on..

Aphra.

PS I still don’t have much of a voice after the night..

I think it is a sign that my singing days are over..!

Aphra.

Nah, theres at least one more performance left in you! :)
