Just a reminder that there is going to be almighty blogger piss-up in Limerick on the weekend of September 14-16th.
Final details are being taken care.Well...there was the only the question of what pub to meet in really but it's a crucial one.
I will need all of you to spread the word and invite EVERYONE!!
That's right.I said everyone (except I was a bit bold and I shouted and slouched) so if you are reading this you can consider yourself invited. A rough idea of numbers will be needed because IF the sight of me drinking a Guinness with blackcurrant isn't sexy enough and IF the weather is nice I would imagine the prospect of a BBQ at Bock's meatspace coordinates (his house lads..c'mon now and try to keep up) would get some juices flowing.
This operation will need to be victualled so let us know how many to expect so we can git a rustlin'.
Oh, and if anyone runs into Bock could you let him know he's hosting a BBQ..Sound!
This Just In!
Bock must have felt a disturbance in The Farce because he just emailed me.
Location ;
The White House (Corner of O'Connell and Glentworth St),Limerick City
Date;
Friday,September 14th,2007
Time;
Fucked if I know..just show up and start drinking.One or both of us will be there. UPDATE. 7pm is now the kick off time....I'll probably be there well before then though.
If there are survivors of the night and Bock gets rid of the bodies in time the BBQ will be at his place the following day (That would be Saturday the 15th)
Right so what are we doing for hotels? Anyone? ...c'mon now.I need a hookup y'all.

That's tellin' them!
I'll be there, incognito and on the q t.
Sounds like it should be fun :) I'll mark it in my diary! The White House isn't too far for me to stagger home from anyway !!
I WANNA COME TOO!!! Please, please?
Oh. Damnit! I forgot the kids again. Shit. Can't come...
In other news - Devin, have you heard about
"The Gathering of Mustangs and Legends" on September 27 - 30 in Columbus, OH? I just read the article about it in Air & Space magazine, and it sounds awesome!
Having made the trip from DC to Columbus by car more than once, it shouldn't take you more than nine hours. You might be knackered (see, Americans can use Irishisms, too!) from your recent trip, but this sounds like something that shouldn't be missed. Over 100 restored P-51s. Whew!
Oh great! I'm looking for weekend digs for my three dear ones as we speak, Devin. Hope it works out. Like, Conan, I'll be incognito also. Fun!
Conan,
We have to come up with a codeword or -phrase challenge and response.
Q. "Do those periwinlkes come from Kilkee?"
A. "Why yes although I prefer Ballyheigue ones"
Or we could have you carry a Washington Post with a red carnation in your lapel.
What do you think?
Sandra,
Great stuff.Can't wait to meet you.
Camron,
Well you are invited.There are direct flights to Ireland starting out of IAD this month.Surely you could leave out some food and water for the kids and have someone change the litter for a few days.
Cheers for the Mustang link.That would be amazing to see although the drive to CMH is a bollix.If I was going I'd just rent a plane and fill it with my lowlife mates to split the costs.
Might go yet if I can weasel the time off.
Mairead,
That's excellent news.You've made my day.I'm hoping that someone knows someone who knows someone in the hotel/B&B biz that could cut us a deal.Consort and I have to stay in Limerick before flying back to Boston anyway so we had already planned that.
I'm really hoping that we can make it worth people's while to spend the night and not drive somewhere else with a shedload of pints in them.
I'm probably only coming down for the Saturday, as Bjarni's parents are staying with us that week. Unless I bring them too. Not sure that would be a good idea.
Jealous that you're all going to have so much fun without me? Not at all, sniff, I'll be fine ...
Dev, I like the periwinkle suggestion but this also might work...
Q: If Patricks well how does Abbey feale?
A: Ask eaton.
Annie,
C'mon..bring them down..It'll be an eye opener for them.
Conor,
I say old boy..one must keep a stiff...er..upper lip you know.
Conan,
I bow to your obvious talent in The Great Game.Splendid.
I'll see you at 7 in the WH then!!! Oooh, I'm looking forward to that now!!
Not a bit jealous here.....no, not me!
Just make sure you post pics on the blog afterwards, and the vids on youtube.
Maz,
Yes!..have you your red carpet,microphone and catty comments ready?
LG,
At least you'll have Jess as a consolation prize.
Kim,
There'll be none of that now.Anonymity needs protecting and promises have been made.
I'm sure there'll be pictures though.They'll all be of me with lots of people in Balaclavas.
(Now there's a set up for Knudsen)
OK so we all have to bring balaclavas now? Might be a bad idea in Ireland? :-)
I'll never remember those clever passwords of Conan's... How 'bout we all wear something blue? Or ask for something identifiable at the bar e.g. a tequila sunrise?
Am going to surf the net for hotel news.
For anyone looking for hotels in the city check out the link below for the Sarsfiels Bridge Hotel, once on that page there is a link that takes you on to a list of hotels in the Limerick area :) Hope that spares people a bit of time :)

Sandra,
You're a star...yes,you are.
Mairead,
Hopefully the bar staff at the WH will be puzzled by the spike in Tequila Sunrise sales that night.
From the desk of the the Queen's consolation prize... Limerick Gal, I'm really looking forward to meeting you while down in Atlanta next month. I'll send you an e-mail so we can try to organize the consolation prizegiving.
well if ya want someone to keep sayin, "Wha??, HA??" all night im there :) :) :)
Jess,
That sounds suspiciously raunchy.I approve.
Lette,
How did you know? That's exactly what we need.If you don't come I'll be pissed off and rearrange all the furniture....oh..wait a sec.
HA?? DIDNT QUIET GET THA, Whered te table go??....
Lette.
Sorry about that.Rearranging the furniture is for blind people that piss you off.Lemme see....
Good chance I might be there. I have a biz trip to London in Sept. I always make it home the weekends on either side of those trips, so who knows...
Jess, we'll have a session and won't raise our glasses to them feckers supping in the WH.......ahh well maybe we will raise them a little!
I'll shoot ya an IM with my cell no. Give me your dates again so I can book time off from jobs 2 & 3.
I think I could be persuaded to make a cameo at this.
Bit of clarification required here, guys.
The question of a BBQ at the Bockschloss is very provisional, depending how the Friday piss-up goes. Also, it's not open house at my place: I intended to discreetly ask people who have been friends of my site if they'd like to attend. Unfortunately, the world and his mother will have to wait for another time.
It also depends on the following:
How hung-over I am.
The weather.
If the huge battleground that is my back garden is in suitable shape by mid-September.
Apart from that, I'll get together with old Cap'n Purplehead and see what we can dig up by way of diversion around town, including the usual sleazy drinking-holes we inhabit.
How does all this fit in with the dates for the hurling final should Limerick make it and the World Cup? I might pop in but then I'm not a stranger to hostelries in city anyway.
Is this open to any blogger ? Might be up for this?
Bit slow on the uptake. Just catching up on all this after Bock emailed me.
It all sounds charming and delightful, so I'll be there.
In fact, I'd probably be there anyway as Friday evening in The White House is one of my favouritest times of the week.
I predict plenty of mortified cringing on Saturday morn/afternoon as Limerick bloggers wake up and find their vague memories forming into something more (uncomfortably) solid. I just don’t want to be the one recalling puking into someone’s lap.
I'm washing my hair..
John Mc,
I'll be tapping my toes with me hair in curlers and a rolling pin in my hand waiting for ya.
Limerick Gal,
You two better behave yerselves now.I've the man told to keep an eye on ye.
Squid,
All off the record of course..or until I'm on the plane back to Washington anyway.
Bock,
Guess I jumped the gun a bit there.Sorry about that.
Dan,
How's the form? Welcome aboard like.As for the hurling and World Cup? Let them get their own fecking blogmeet..chancers!
Digital Sole,
Welcome aboard as well.The WH most certainly is and we'd love to see you.I mean there are certain hoors I'd like to exclude but we're all friends here...right?.
Fustar,
Welcome aboard x3.Great stuff out of you.C'mon now...do you really think there might be a bit of D-R-I-N-K taken? Sure I know that youngfella Bock's family very well..Lovely people.
Onefortheroad,
Welcome aboard x4.Lovely.So let me ask you this now..what kind of conditioner regimen do you use? We ALL want to know.
Has anyone invited the whitehouse poets, who also happen to be bloggers?
http://whitehousepoets.blogspot.com/
maybe we can get Barney Sheehan to get the white house people to put on some food :D
Squid,
I was going to see if anyone was a member or mate and put it through them.
I'd feel a bit weird 'inviting' them to their own 'Home' ground so to speak.I'd love to see them there though.
Great op to snap all you bloggers for the Anti-blogger fourm.
Come to daddy suckers.
Anonymous,
What the fuck? You an Elton John fan or something?
I expect to see a few Queens there.
Anonymous,
Well there might be a few queens there but there'll only be one Queen and my dance card is full sweetheart.
Don't worry though.I'm sure one of the boys would love to have you.
Is that Mr or Mrs Hanger Queen?
I need to know for the photograph.
HEY!! just ban the cunt!! It is your blog!! track his url and all that malarkey! obviously has fuck all time on his hands like!
Thanks.One or two of us will hopefully make it.
( long time since that blogger account was used. forgot i had one.sorry for extra comment folks)
Anonymous,
It's 'Your Majesty' to you.Not that you were too fussy about honorifics last night.
Lette,
It's not worth the effort love.For now it's amusing.It may cease to be and if/when it happens I'll banish them.
Digital Sole,
I'm afraid I'm the one that has to make an apology.
