Escapism Ireland?

[Code_Red]

Yeah Dublin would be good.I vote Dublin

 

[Dr.Poisonfreak]

i like the thought of this, me and Redrosekay have been looking for an excuse to go to Ireland

 

[Ashbax]

Well, I live in ireland, so lets break out the party hats. ^^

 

[MalevolentJim]

When would this thing take place? Mid-August Pressumably..

 

[darkless]

Sounds like a good place to start

Anyway i must getback on topic for a second

What activities would said theoretical meeting entail?

General mooping around. Go see an exhibition or something. Find a nerd-shop of some kind. Go to a pub. I don't know.
That's the main problem, actually. Lack of ideas.

well I imagine dublin city center would be the place to meet?

If so

Nerd shops: Models Inc, games workshop and forbidden planet could work

Hit the cinema and see a movie or something

I can talk to a couple of guys in college get us a deal with a paintball place if you wanted

Organize and epic game session in game the world or the extreme gaming centre, we once booked that place from 10PM to 10AM it was pretty epic. and only 20 quid a head, although that price would be based on the number of people.

Damn I hate quoting myself just bringing this forward for people to lazy to read a second page

I am not a great organizer these are just suggestions

I go to Ireland to visit relatives annualy (usualy sometimes in spring) I prefer walking around to get to places

at home though I do have a bus pass with OBSCENE PRICES at 73 bucks per month oh well I'm actually saving money the amount of bus rides I take and the 2.25 bus fare would add up to around $110

Mid August would be good.Anyone else for mid August?

 

[Zamn]

Will there be trouble between the catholics and protestants, because we don't want that (well I certainly don't)?

God you make the place sound bad. I've never encountered any Catholic/Protestant trouble in my life and I went to a Protestant-run school (although at least 50% of the students are Catholics).

Edit: From Catholic backgrounds that is, I wouldn't say many of them actually go to mass.

I think we should go traditional Irish on it. Few pints of guinness in a pub, fun event, more guinness followed by some good trad music, possibly a ceili...

Edit: Also, whiskey...

Game The World isn't a bad idea,I'd be up for it.I've done the 11pm to 11am thing several times before,it's pretty epic.

Sounds epic indeed.

 

[TheScarecrow]

I was going to suggest bumper cars or go-karts but I like the gaming session idea.

 

[MalevolentJim]

Shamless Bump.

 

[similar.squirrel]

So..Mid to end of August?And a tie between Galway and Dublin?
Those two places seem the most accessible for all concerned. Roughly in the..Middle..Part..I think.
I'm actually a Hungarian 'expat', but I've been here for nearly 10 years. Not too hot on the aul geography.

 

[Code_Red]

Is the gaming session idea a possibility then?

 

[darkless]

Mid august is no good for me well i might be able to pop in a say hey to everyone but that would be about the extent of what i could afford .

[Panzer_God]

Well for me it would take a transatlantic flight so I couldn't afford that.

That would pretty much be a win there.

Sounds like a plan dude.
Though i will be probably near broke so i may not be able to afford to do much.
