September Shindig

not that we need me around…but I am back in the country from the 23rd…can I propose the following weekend 24/25..also about three weeks to Awakenings so nicely spaced out..

Aphra.

after the relatively poor turn outs at the last few, we were talking about only having them every 2 months or so… how do you folks feel about this?

That would make the next one in November as I’m sure every last man- and woman-jack of you will be at Awakenings in October!!

I wouldn’t mind a few jars with the regs around the 24th, missed the last one and haven’t been around Dublin for the past few weekends so I say we hook up. IAN HANNIGAN ARE YOU LISTENING!!!!!?????

DAVE, TONY, CRAIG, FERAL ARE YOU LISTENING??!!!

ARrrggghh! What? I’m half deaf with the lot of yis!!!! ;)

Big-time! 24th sounds great PETE / RONNY! Sorry hearing’s still at me!

god damn it then… put me down too!!

I’ll just be back from the states that morning and God knows what time I’ll be on internally (lose most of a day), but now that I’m a Dublin 2 man the pub is only a few minutes crawl from my apartment so I should be there too in some shape or form.

Jamie

and ye all have to try and bring along one new person…we have to keep spreading the word…

Aphra.

Ps after this one I’ll be commuting to them like the rest of ye..

I hvae noted the date and will be back in contact shortly. :)

awww yeah….the ONE time I manage to get over to a shindig and you lot are off playing your fancy Doom3…

*cries*

Will need to know particulars, though (where? parking? what’s on draught at the bar? etc.)[/quote:80b5a45920]

Steph,

It’s usually Toners on Baggot Street, where parking is free after 7pm and all you really need to do is come along and have a few pints. They’re not the most formal of occasions, and there’s usually people doing silly things like ending up in strange bars on the northside surrounded by goths and rockers (Dave’s trip to the zoofibbers). There’s the usual range of drinks on tap, Guinness, Heineiken, Bud etc.

Jamie

actually, can Jamie or some other volunteer, check Toners don’t have any parties booked in that night..before we finalise this venue and date..

and hey Ronny, maybe in future I can collect you and any other Belfast people on the way down!! No complaints mind you about my stuffy little car will be tolerated..

Aphrra.

did I just mis-spell my own name?

…I blame Steve Collins for that..(another conversation this morning)

‘was only kidding about what’s on tap, Jamie – I’m a patents guy so I’ll drink anything… Gr8, sounds like I finally got an occasion to whip out my Bomberman T-Shirt!

> and hey Ronny, maybe in future I can collect you and any other Belfast people on the way down!! No complaints mind you about my stuffy little car will be tolerated..

That would be very cool, count me in for that if you’re going down Aphra.

Mal

Hi guys,

That’s booked now for Friday 24th September in Toners on Baggot Street, downstairs in the usual spot. I’ve said between 10-20 will turn up, so don’t make me a liar!

I’m wrapping everything up here at the moment, so I won’t be around for the next 2 weeks, but I’ll try and make it out as I’m back on the 24th, so hopefully will see you all there.

My last day here in DemonWare so I’m going to wreck the place up (messing), so next time I’ll be a bum again.

Take it easy

Jamie

Eh?…Can I come?[/quote:44d0c9abc5] ‘course you can, Max – you’d be more than welcome

the green machine may become the Belfast to Dublin shuttle..

no worries Mal..sounds like a plan indeed..

Aphra.

Does that mean you’re forever locked into drinking orange juice at future shindigs? That can’t be in your work contract up there <:/

Eh?…Can I come?[/quote:d6b4eb3dec]

Everyone is welcome, we turn nobody away (a problem sometimes >:) )

Jamie

Ill be making my usual late arrival, so I hope every will be in full form and whetted for a few more drinks by the time I arrive too…

Dave

Shock horror :D

i can get there …. Yahoo this will be a first :D

what time and where?

Toners? @ 8?

Claire..

we will try to look suitably stand-outish this time so you can find us..a few signs maybe..

Aphra..

LOL it’s ok aphra :D

i think i’ll recognise a few of you all this time..

i’ll be there @ 7.30

‘course you can, Max – you’d be more than welcome [/quote:11672a5f97]

I think Max might be a bit late… And I’ll be very rude and tag along. :D

See you there Swisslad, been a long time…

Will be at Bill Bailey that night before coming up, Should be there about 10-ish, Will it still be rocking at that point?

Oh yes Can I bring Swisslad? He’s Lovely I swear.

Can I volunteer myself as an extra body. Is Toners on Upper or Lower Baggot st?

bill bailey,
lucky sod :) i was too late to get a ticket.

and yes pete,
i can here you all the way from the previous page :D
see you all on friday.

10 ish is grand Paul, few pints sunk by then but sure I’m sure you’ll be keeping pace at Bill Bailey. And bring the Swiss fella too.

erm… :D

… don’t know what any of you guys look like, I’m afraid 2 say, so how do I hook up with you lot once I get into Toner’s?

and pls don’t send/eml rude pictures as identikits, I’m @ work :D

You’ll spot a bunch of shifty looking pale characters in the corner -that’ll be Ian and Skyclad, just ask them and they’ll point you to the rest of us!!! ;) :p

em…there will be at least two females…myself and Claire!..

Aphra.

Yes, and Skyclad will be there too :eek:

So… :o

You telling me I have to spot:
_a bunch of shifty looking pale characters in a corner
_two females (that’s actually a good clue – ever seen two females loitering near a bunch of shifty looking pale characters in a corner?)
_a hermaphrodite/she-male?

Shouldn’t be too hard :D

LOL

He’ll be the one poping backspins on the lino outside! ;)

*I’ll be the one standing way off to the side shaking my head disapprovingly*

How the loud, overly opinionated, uncouth and generally unsavoury character that is Pete has managed to avoid a proper insulting so far is beyond me.

While I may look shifty and pale, I recommend you stay as far away as possible from the ocean of depravity that is posting these venomous untruths.

If he does manage to sidle over and engage you in conversation, I suggest you take everything he says with a pinch of salt and a glass of tequila – it may be your last chance while your belief in the good of humanity remains.

You have been warned…

Dave

:eek:

And as for you Mr Hannigan, one more open mouthed smiley of shock and Ill be dancing on your grave… :)

:eek: :eek:

Aphra

:eek: You telling me you game developer guys over here work in SUITS!?! … and here’s me thinking all along the black t-shirt / black jeans garb’ was a universal code of recognition amongst vg/coder/artist types… :D

Heard yis had a good night anyway. Sorry I missed it, felt a bit poorly after the journey down so I retired to my bed.

well it was muted after the Korea visit that the gang will start to organise a shindig in Galway..just going to remind you guys and warn you that some of the rest of us might just gate crash…maybe we should alternate…Dublin and Galway…

Aphra.

Aphra.

Hi Aphra,

I know I was not alone in feeling like we missed out on a very special weekend in Irish Game Development history in missing Awakenings but hopefully our experiences in Korea can add to the momentum created by all involved.

Because we missed out, I think it’s fair to say that plans are afoot to organise a Galway shindig. We even attempted to be creative on the drive home and come up with a catchy name but after 20 hrs traveling, it was enough to occupy my mind to guide the car home.

You can rest assured that nothing will be organised without gd.ie.

Alan

Will this be in November?

Can the December one be in Dublin :D
