Dublin/O'Reillys/NPGMC/Org - summary.
bfletcher has suggested we meet beforehand in the Pub(O'Reillys unless someone knows a better spot),
I think this is a great idea and will be there between 2pm and 3pm.
How many of the below 25ish(and those I missed) will be there
BFletcher/Ian/logger and 3 friends/Spud80 and friend/Shammyfeen/wyldeone,/Bal and friend/Childofthedawn and friend/captainsano and friend/jqmunro and friend/Bren and friend/riverjones/irishdevil and friend/kickit94 and friend...

How many NPGMC members will be there - if only for safety in numbers when getting seats/tickets.

Any advance info on npgmc seat reservations or aftershow venues would be appreciated.

At the moment I am not counting on an 'aftershow' or 'soundcheck', after the organisational Fiasco at the first Uk night.


O'Reillys" pub-
If you're coming from O'Connell st, the entrance to the dart station is on your right and then theres another turn right immediately after that and its in there down a sort of a tunnel/laneway type thingy...(directions by bfletcher)

Hi,

I confirm my wife and I will be there.
Just a question, we can enter in O'Reillys with jeans and basket ?

peace all

see ya

Hi,

We arrive on Wednesday morning, could you give me some cool places to look at in Dublin?
It's our first venue in your country

Thanks

hello yes i can confirm me and my lady will be there, probably from about 12

We're not actually members of the NPGMC however, I take it this means we cant get into soundcheck/ aftershow???

hi there, what about me? i will be there with my good lady for a few refreshments...i hope dublin is not as expensive as i have been told or there will be very little refreshment for me.

For those of you looking for info on Dublin,
The city is pretty compact - so all the 'sights' are pretty much in walking distance.

Dublin is now a very trendy and expensive spot, and a lot of the old pubs are now exclusive bars,

Places like Cocoon/Cafe en Seine/the Bailey/the front lounge etc are a bit posery, but worth a visit.
If you want old Irish - Head down the Quays to the Brazen head - or further out to Lucan and 'polly hops'(prob too far - unless u have a few days).

If you want to eat out - I would reccomend il Bacaro in temple bar - It is a small,reasonably priced authentic Italian restauant.
Boulevard on exchecker street is also a good spot on a Fri/Sat night - always has a good buzz..(Ill prob. be there Wed night)

If you have a bit more money - Coopers/Trocadero/Fitzers/Morrisson etc are good standard.
I would reccomend booking all places in advance.

Clubs - Hopefully we will all be in the Pod again on Thurs night

Hope this is of some help...My girlfriend would be a lot more help on this - i tend to go where ever - Ill ask her tonight for anything she would recc.

regards,
Bren

my friend and i will be in dublin from the weds night so i think by the time 2:30 on thurs we'll be well in need of some refreshments with the orgers. what time is every1 going down to the point though? i don't want to be queuing for a million years as i've already got seat numbers printed on the tickets (near the front ). and may i just say that the reviews from last night are getting me even more excited than ever

Anybody wanna meet me before hand at the Virgin Megastore?.

Yall bet ur bottom dollar me and my mate will b there in full funky force! im a npgmc member but missed the bloomin preslae so i cant get in2 the soundcheck but i think that the aftershow will b available 4 eveyone (according 2 npgmc.com) but personally i dont care (well i do really, ill kill u 4 ur concert pass!!! joking guys joking!) we r both so looking 4ward 2 c this show and 2 meeting every1 in oreillys for a pint (or several), good craic and possibly a preshow sing song??? who knows, lets just enjoy whats gonna b an amazing experince 4 everyone, ps any1 who is getting in2 the soundcheck pls tell Prince ur npgmc member and friend r waiting outside and if he wants 2 personally escort us 2 where the rest of the members b, he is def more than welcome 2 do so! (well i can dream!!!) seriously though guys, its gonna b wild, i wish u all a very safe journey and a very pleaseant stay in dublin,lets the games begin...

Liberation, the Virgin Megastore is no more!! If u want someone to meet u before O'Reillys, I should b at O'Connell Bridge 'bout 2.15. U should b able 2 recognise me, I'll b the one in purple funking and performing the splits without any music!!

i think its time 4 all getting wild! bazman i wanna c them splits! music or no music, its just sorted so close yet so far and i can just sense the excitment of it all, any1 feel the same? how many yall just came 2 dance? let me c u shake ya pants!!!

WTF?...what happened to the Virgin Megastore?.
I am arriving in Dublin at around 11 am, so i have to meet my people early.

Maybe O' Connell bridge might be a good idea, but i plan to be at the point much earlier then 3pm, more like 1.

i think we r all feeling the funk and the overwhelming excitment of this event. especially after the reviews from london. roll on the 10th. i'm so getting wild.

Confirm I will be there with a girlfriend (not my girlfriend you understand) Landing at about 12.30 so hope to be at t'pub by 2 o/c after a swing by my hotel to drop off my stuff.

Less than a week to go - hope there is no fiasco with the seating arrangements etc but think if were all arrive together we stand a better chance of making sure we all happy on the night.

You dont wanna know how much I'm looking forward to the 10th!!

A message for Kickit94:

I am a tourist too but have 'done' Dublin many times. It depends what your interests are; if you like Guinness, go to the Guinness Storehouse; if you like whiskey, go to the Jameson's distillery, if you like any other drink, go to Cafe en Seine/Zanzibar or maybe find a decent pub! Maybe a bit of shopping at Brown Thomas, a walk round St. Stephens Green at the top of Grafton Street, and then take a tour-bus to Phoenix Park.

Personally, I'll be heading to Merrion Row and Baggot Street for a few beers and a cheese and ham toastie. Try O'Donoghue's or Doheny & Nesbit's for some decent drink.

If you want to eat out my favourite is Eden in Meeting House Square in Temple Bar but if you want to go a bit easier on the wallet/purse try the Bad Ass Cafe nearby.

See you at the concert.

I will be there with a guest - Tooogher Wan

(its a Cork City thang!!!)

Hey y'all.

I'll (hopefully) be there with a chum - another non-NPGMCer, but a longtime child o' the Org.

Any word on aftershow location and likelihood of plebs like us getting in to soundcheck/aftershow? Sounds like London was pretty strict.

Peace, out.
