Shall we have another Shindig?

i must eventually get to one of these all-mighty “shin-digs”, but do the admins and moderators handle the financial details for the bar? :P finger pointed at you ronny ” rich-boy” southwood :D

It would be great to get to one again. I keep saying that I will, but something always gets in the way. Be it a place to stay, college assignments, paying to get down to Dublin, etc. I hope to be able to sort something out! Got any dates in mind, Dave?

Feck off! Water is free to matter how much you have of it! You’ll have to cough up the money yourself, but I’m sure you’ll be able to manage that once you’re developing triple A titles in Derry. ;)

enough of the feck off! might consider going to this, with finances permitting and similar problems as ronny has. will good to meet ya again mr southwood, and meet most of the gd.ie people.

If its on the 21st I should be able to make it

Pretty busy at the moment, but will try and make it…

Missed the last two, and have exams at month end, sooo… October’s a no-no, but anytime from Nov 07 is good here. :D

put me down for it

Nov is good for me too

Nov better for me too……

whats a shindig?? :roll:

It’s a word for getting hammered in a pub and talking about games all night.[/quote:fad9ced8f9]

Best definition ever. Mind I wouldnt know really as I haven’t been to one. Ahy plans on where it’ll take place?

Sounds good!

i’m going to say nothing :D everytime i say i can turn up something happens that means i can’t ..

say nothing just cross fingers :D

so Friday the 11th of November is the current date being bandied about..how is this with people. Fine with me now I am back in Dublin :)

Aphra.

Aphra.

[/quote:a481914610]

Kyotokid, if you’re in the country and thinking of going, did you see that Pearse Street not the other one. PEARSE Street

8)

Look there is only one PROPER O’Neills :roll:

I’ll make the next one in December (I ass-ume)

There are two O’Neills.

The one that is actually a great pub.
And the one that is the tourists pub which constantly stinks of food.

:twisted:

Mahaffys is easier, never any confusion as to which one!!

food only on request…

Aphra.

How can there be confusion when you say O’Neill’s on Pearse Street ??? :)

Hey check the post about the last shindig…

Max asks which O’Neills and no-one answers

http://www.gamedevelopers.ie/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1792&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=40

Thats my excuse and I’m sticking to it

Or look at the post that actually made the O’Neill’s suggestion that month…

how about O’Neills on Pearse Street and then we can move onto more dancing venue later…?

Aphra.[/quote:f03dd447a1]

:)

OWNED!!!

(I have always wanted to use that word)

But that post was BEFORE Max’s question…so my point is still valid.

(argument over, I am clearly correct as usual!)

*cough*

No, no-one replied to max’s question because it was redundant as it was already explained. Plus, Max turned up to the correct location, so it was proven that no answer was required.

check mate.

ps. you’ll not win this one, I have time on my hands to out argue you :)

Lads lads, you don’t have to fight. There’s plenty of Max for everybody.

*sigh*
I would love to…long long story…

so Friday the 11th of November in Mahaffys it is so…

from 7.30 pm ish..

anyone need a map :)

Aphra.

hmmm….Yes.
I couldn’t find me bum with two hands.

For people who havent attended a shindig before, remember :

1. You must only wear red clothing
2. You have to have a post-it stuck on your forehead upon which you write your forum name

Kim Marlis, a friend of mine from LA will be tagging along to this Shindig.

Kim is an Assoc. Producer with Planet Moon Studios in San Fran, and was previously with Pandemic and Activision. Kim was the AP on Full Spectrum Warrior

Hey Aphra – [cheeky] how’zat coming along? [/cheeky]

Steph .. did I miss something (again)..??

Aphra.

Full Spectrum Warrior was a class game.

Never played FSW :oops: – but I’d like to think that’s not all the conversation that poor Californian is going to be subjected to by us lot…(btw, Tony, you planned to bring him a big coat? Must be getting chilly for him :lol: )

I’d like a map please. Back from freezing Derry to sunny Dublin. Im a southerner, get me out of here!

Or her?

http://xbox.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,108653/%5B/quote:694a57dee5%5D

Or her indeed, as I am neither sexist, nor often provided with time aplenty to exercise my Google skills (Tony: better make that an Arctic-Grade fur coat then!) :lol:

voila the map..see http://www.dublinpubscene.com/thepubs/mahaffys_map.html

apparently Mahaffys is named after a professor from Trinity College.

that is my little snippet of info for the day..

Aphra.

Many thanks for the map, hope you didnt waste too much time getting it :) I used to live in mahaffy’s (TCD head), but you werent to know that (forums should come with a sarcasm indicator).

J. P. MAHAFFY, berkeley Professor of Philosophy and Junior Dean 1871-1872.
His proud legacy lives on as CS undergrads get kicked out of the SU every evening at six and head across the road to get pissed in Mahaffy’s…maybe moving on the Doyles for the late bar if they’ve any money. Monday Tuesday…etc. Happy days.

…………………………………….and once again Steph has to Cease & Desist to perform fatherly duties, since the missus is catering a Hen night Fri/Sat (thanks for the notice, hon’) :x

S’pose it means I’ll finally get a little time to up my BF2 stats… but I do miss you guys’n gals :cry:

(my turn for the Stag next w/e, tho’ :lol:)

Aphra – (said with mucho eggs on my face) thanks for the map, hope it comes in handy for the December one (if the pub proves worthy of a return).

no worries steph..we will have to set the Dec. shindig date extra early to get in your diary..

Aphra.

Er, I know I hardly ever post here but I suppose I’d better go to one of these thing now I live in Dublin.

What’s the story with “shindigs” then? I a’int wearing no post it notes or red stuff.

number of posts: 1
You’re not lying :)

Made my first attendance at the last night.
Find the dodgy looking people in the corner and say hi, get drink. ( possibly, run ). Post’its aren’t obligatory…only if you want ;)

Steph should be forced to dress up as Santa Claus for the Dec shindig

Dave could be his little elf :)

Dave could be his little elf :)[/quote:41ddd54f37]LOL

You can just see him in that little green suit with bells…
I’m sure there’ll be an artists render soon…

I can’t hardly be punished for failing to turn up time & again, due to circumstances entirely out of my control :cry: … ’tis been a hard year on all fronts.

All that said, if you make it by -say- around the 15th of Dec, that should be time aplenty to grow the beard to Santa-esque proportions, tho’ :D

But don’t go expecting oranges in your stockings either… ‘be a piece of coal for each of ye mischievous lot :wink:

I’ll be bringing a friend along too. Have a birthday party to go to that night, so will only be sticking around until about 11pm.

Jamie

i thought you guys all made computer games??? Well where the hell do you get time to make/have friends, or are you talking about co-workers from Accounts and Billing, etc?

All red, with a posty on me head, then?

Was hoping to be able to make it to this one ….. but it now looks really unlikely :(

Have fun and please organise one for December too!

Likely I won’t make it now either….

For gods’ sake Pete, you’ll be fat, ugly and old before you make it to another shindig…[/quote:8dd896bf3d]
But he was like that the last tim… ah I’ll stop there :shock:

I think I’ll be showin up for the first…time…ever. I’m in work til 10 anyways so after that. I’m workin in Talbot St, Chartbusters for one night only, I will be in the area so I really got no excuse. If anyone is around Talbot St. 6-10, stick your head in so I know who to look for in Mahaffys, if not look out for the person lookin for someone at about 10.20ish….
