Inactive1. show up.
2. have a few drinks.
3. talk games.
4. get a little drunker, and make jokes about Dave’s dancing skills, what a funny place Muff is to live, how old man Tony Kelly is faring or how funny Ian Hannigan is.
5. convince aphra to skip her hockey match the next day and go out clubbing.
6. go out to an overly expensive club and regurgitate how lucky the northsiders were to get in.
7. Stumble home.Dave

InactiveHmm.. isn’t the Torc open day on the 25th in the Digital Hub?
Looking forward to my last shindig before I’m off to France for the holidays. To celebrate I wore my friend’s France football shirt today… for some reason a lot of people kept giving me dirty looks. :p
Well, today was the last day of college and I have reason to believe I did very well today through the gruelling gauntlet of maths and history.
Bring on the summer!

InactiveThat’s true, Pete. I’m sure people could come along after the open day comes to a close. With the Muff crew down it would make for a better turnout.
25th official then?

I guess Metallica are all very cute if you’re into pop music. :p Right now my body is killing me after witnessing Killswitch Engage, Chimaira, God Forbid and Shadows Fall blow up Ireland last night. Nearly did actually! Bloody amp blew up half way through the show.I should be able to make it to the shindig, see y’all there. :)

Who needs Jesse?? ;)

KeymasterWell I popped into Toners on the way home last night and it seems there is a birthday party booked into downstairs but the manager reckons we’ll be able to get tables upstairs in the pub so let’s try that anyway. He said he’d look after us with cocktail sausages…did someone mention sausages….??!! jes, you can’t get away from them…
so anyway, see you all UPSTAIRS in Toners on Baggott St. from about 7.30pm on SAT night..

Keymasterwell it was a little subdued given that the Torc event the night before had become a bit of an epic…having said that the usual die hards were there plus everyone Pete has ever known over his life..oh and there is a very interesting pic of Pete from years back which might just surface somewhere on this site..
sorry you couldn’t make it Ronny and Damian..
The next shindig might coinside with Ivan making it over in August and/or GaleCon and someone mentioned we should do an internet games night….let’s see what the feeling is….
