    I'm hoping they stay stateside for July! C'mon tour of Southern California!. I'm already missing Neil Young, Eric Clapton and RATM this summer. I need some consolation.

    And on the Paddy's Day topic, what are we doing, where are we doing it adn what time are we doing it at? Facebook is useless andI can't be arsed reading through this thread for details.

    Edit: Just checked the first page. Now I know.I'm gonna be all over the shop this weekend. My mates birthday is on too :)

    then I'm thinking for the Saturday we'll go to the Porterhouse in Nassau St. Covers everything we need: big, beside parade, does food and has big screens all over the place that you can SEE :D so we'll be in there about 12 on the Saturday morning... so you're all gonna have to go easy the Friday night :p

    http://www.dublintourist.com/details/the_porterhouse_central_.shtml

    Just to reiterate (ooo big words!): The parade is on Monday, not Saturday! :D

    There's also a few things goin on in the Guinness Storehouse over the weekend: http://www.guinness-storehouse.com/news_events.htm

    Anybody wanna get a celebratory lump of metal through skin for the occasion?! Ah g'waaan! :D

    probably not stay there for the night but we'll go along with whatever happens... good meet up spot (location wise for meeting and for moving on) and rugby no longer important :(

    we can always do like last year if need be and go back to mine later.

    where's that? Dame St? Never been in there... but half price cocktails? :eek:

    I'm not changing the venue again unless one of you wanna inform everyone? So we'll just meet in there and then once everyone's there, we can go wherever anyone wants... fair? :)

    I do love cocktails though :o

    oh, I don't think I know it :o

    Lol, midnight will be early? :confused: we'll have been drinking about 11 hours at that stage :p all going to plan. Although with the rugby being out of the picture this year, I can't see me being as enthusiastic about getting up and dragging everyone out as I was last year :D so I may need help.

    Ooohhh... well I can suggest it to them... we should be back at my place by about 10 and I was just gonna bring them to pub across the road or direct them into town (I can no longer have heavy nights on work nights :( )but I'll run it past them and see...
