Holiday Offline at Irish Rover Frankfort Ave Monday 12/22

I just spoke to Siobhan at Irish Rover - I thought maybe since I didn't make a formal reservation, I should make one. She's agreed to reserve us a couple of booths that seat up to 6 in the bar, and we can order from the server there. They were almost too full to take us! Thank goodness another indie is doing well on a Monday night.

If it's not too late, I'd like to join. Also, I play piano as well as an 8 year old, but I am more than happy to help lead vocally. Also, I don't plan on eating (liquid diet for me) so I don't need a seat.

It's not too late and you're perfectly welcome!

Sounds fun, but got my fix last evening at Irish Rover Too (LaGrange)....Bangers & Mash with a pint of Guinness!!

John,

You dah man...

I haven't tried the Bangers...Never managed to get past the spot on the menu that says "Guinness Beef Stew".

Almost opted for the "Guinness Beef Stew" (it was a cold night, and that sounded just about right)....the Bangers are somewhat mild, but a little "Colman's Mustard" on the side livens them up!

Yes, do please bring the hymnal, Robin, for reference if nothing else. I think we can guarantee no public prayers

Right. Episcopalians/Anglicans tend to avoid that sort of thing. Just isn't done, y'know. Not really tasteful ...

Couldn't make it, I was at this: http://saveottercreekpark.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/tonights-meeting-and-next-steps/. Hope y'all had a great time!

In penance I heard Robin on the radio talking about wine on my way back home from Dixie Highway. Excellent!

I got to enjoy that on the way home, as well! Robin, was that from earlier this year? That wasn't today, was it?

Very enjoyable and accessible.

Nope, a rerun of an older show. I don't even remember when it was done! Maybe this year, maybe last ...

Last night was fun. We should do it again next year, but get some stringers....

I'll drink to that but I thought I sang wonderfully and on key.
( However, it is society's fault that doors are unlocked at pubs every day and turn me tone deaf. )

Lots of fun and good conversation (and caroling) with everyone plus delicious candy made by Mary!

Thanks for another great offline idea, Marsha!

Man, I just got to looking at the posts and missed this opportunity. I hope you guys had fun. I will have to look more often and make sure I can get in on the next Offline get together. I haven't been posting or visiting too much lately, I recently took on a new position and have been getting things in order and organized. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Hopefully 2009 will be a good year once we clear the recession. Good Luck , Alan

You DID sing wonderfully on-key. But because I have about a quarter octave range and Gary lapses into this wierd monotone if it's NOT in his range (he actually can carry a tune in a bucket, but his range isn't much more than mine) I'm thinking reinforcements. Although the voices behind us were swell.
