Oh and to keep this thread alive, it would be great if you could maybe post what you are most excited about trying etc.

I tried the TB's Dark Arts Porter in Against The Grain before. I'm not a porter drinker but I managed to down most of it. Nice smoky taste off it.

What is there not to be excited about!! I love pizza and burritos so I'm happy! Not a fan of beers but hey you can't have everything.  Many thanks Annie once again for getting all hyped and stressed to make sure Yelp Dublin has a great event.

cant wait!!!!... 2 hours of yelping, eating and drinking.. perfect!!

So excited, finally catching up with Dublin Yelpers again and Burritos and Blues what shall i say more...;)

burritos - nom!

About to add another sponsor in a moment :)

yay ;)

Really looking forward to this as I joined yelp just after the last one and had to suffer all the fun photos and excellent reviews from it! Haha!
Thanks Annie for all the effort in organising it, I know it's a really tough one.

I just got Shane Gillen Magic.... SCORE!

WHOO HOO You rock Annie

Yay!

Who is Shane?

this is him in action: youtube.com/watch?v=qKNN…

Ah thanks Q. as always a mine of information. So Shane'll be bringing a touch of magic to an already stellar event!

Shane is also a bit of eye candy ^_^

Thanks to everyone for spreading the word, it really helps... Keep it up & thanks for the praise Edel :)

Wow the RSVPs are heating up!

i am so excited :D

Have RSVP'd and just realized I am in brussels that weekend :-(  should check calendar often :-)

Next week my goal is to find plywood... From lugging a gazebo from the Ilac centre to Christchurch carpark to now finding used plywood... I feel like Del Boy

whats the ply for?

To play walk the plank?

Did u get a bunch of rsvp's in the last couple days? I sent the link to all the derby crowd!!

@ Ian & Fiona - Sorry for my delay, for the flooring for the vendor tables.

@ Ej - the RSVPs should rise today with the weekly :) I'll have a better idea by the days end but the numbers are looking very healthy!

What's a Del Boy?

Google is your friend Kevin :-)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De…

@ Kevin - seriously! You have been living in London how long?!?! For shame, for shame.

Just 5 spots left... Incredible! So chuffed for so early in, lets hope the weather smiles on us!

Woaw this is incredible ! I bring some sun and heat from berlin (24 and up ) this weekend :D

The 6th is fast appraching now, it seemed AGES away when you first started this thread

I couldn't see if I was in on the Event page.

Here's hoping the sun shines Annie!

meat.

Aw crap. At least I didn't get a lmgtfy link in response. And my excuse is that I don't have a telly. So meh. :p

Good mate is getting married the day before but since I don't suffer hangivers I'll do my best to make the event after all your hard work Annie.

I've tried to spread the word but I'll have to wait to see the uptake yet...

@ anna"lark"b.........Maybe you can save on speed dating and find a yelp date........who knows by the 7th of May you might be looking up Wedding Fairs and dresses ;-D

@ Keyzer - now that would be epic... Headline "I checked in & unlocked a free man".

@ annie L or "I checked in and checked him out" .............lol

@ Keyzer - hahaha! PS are you actually a kitten or do you have real face?!

.well im as cute as a kitten if that yelps??? miaooow ;-)

Right il be looking out for a kitten faced meowing man on the 6th!

well that kitten faced meowing man will be on a plane returning from a weeks cruise on the med.......see "cruising for a bruising" (ooops you already have)
Very excited, the kitten is in fact in memory of my beloved Lucy Luas who unfortuately got died as a result of a rta last Saturday.
I am totally devastated as are the rest of the family. We sent her little old self off the the pet cremotorium and will receive her back when we return from holiday. I will be able to write a review of my experiences of both the cruise ship and the cremetorium when i return. But I do know that Lucy is waiting for me at rainbow bridge when we will all be reunited ;-)

@ Keyzer sorry to hear about your cat. I'm sure she is have a great time at rainbow bridge. I got my dog cremated a number of years ago - he was my bestfriend.

ahhhh you're a Legend Lezmantha, looking forward to meeting "new" friends and yelping some more!

@Keyser sorry for your loss Keyzer.  Like Fiona I lost not one but two old pals within two weeks of each other a few years back, both rescue dogs.  I was devastated but have a new wee bitch in my life who has fast become my new best friend, also a rescue.

@ Keyzer yelp is a great place for meeting people iv met some great people through yelp.

@ Edel sorry for your loss also and so near. I also have a some new wee bitches in my life since then ;)

@edel. thanks Ebog, im so glad to hear you have a new friend, is that the one in your pics? I do plan on getting a new kitten or two when we have grieved for Lucy, the kids are devastated and although she was killed by a car I told them she had a heart attack because wild cats have a genetic heart defect (im such a bad liar) but they where much happier with this than the thoughts that some randomer had run her over and didnt even have the decency to put her to the side of the road or read her collar.
It was their first experience of loss, other than gold fish, and im sure it wont be their last. Its just too early to replace Lucy and I would feel I was disrespecting her if we could replace her so fast, so we'll give it a while and then start looking in some rescue centres, I'll always go for the weakest and most vunerable, but I think we'll get two next time because more than likely they'll be house cats and need a playmate. I miss lucy millions, she was my little baby, I rescued her from a train track as wild hungry kitten nearly four years ago, she grew on us all and was part of the family.

Aw. Sad for all your losses guys. My Dads collie is still so badly missed since she passed on last November.

But it's great you have new doggies too. I think we need a Yelp Doggie Meet up? I'd love to meet them ;)

My mums cat is the proud mammy of three kittens recently, I can't wait to meet them :) There are also three oprhaned lambs about too. It's a right maternity ward down there at the moment.

I think we need a new 'yelp' section called pets corner, anybody mind if I start one becuse Annie will kill me for taking up her Bazaar section talking about this. ;-(

Oops, you are right! Soz Annie

Hahaha! No worries! But I think new people popping in may think that we are having a wake of sorts ;)

Ah yeah Keyzer, we can talk about vets, petshops, parks etc etc.

So if I haven't got another email after the:

Hi Will,
We've received your info and will be in touch soon to let you know if you're in!
Thanks,
Yelp Dublin

Does this mean I'm not in? :(
Or has nobody got their confirmation?

Some good publicity on cheapeats.ie:

cheapeats.ie/2012/04/20/…

yesterday? why was it bad? I didn't notice

(Q sits in a corner,  curled up in the foetal position, still sobbing in an un-manly manner saying things like "you weren't there man, you wouldn't understand..."

@ Q - hahahahahahaha!

@Annie will you be giving out any yelp gloves to the even? I would love a pair! And any other smashing yelp merchandise ye may have! :D

@Annie Do you not have minions (the Despicable Me kind, only red.... for Yelp) or Monkey Butlers! :o)

@ Will - nope, all on my own I'm afraid. But on the day I will have help!

@ Debbie - maybe!

Any one got a Child Of Prague? Get it into the garden now!!

It's the first day of summer and o should be smiling but I'm not :(

It's not supposed to be too bad at the weekend. A bit cool though.

The rain stopped ;) it better stays away from now on ;)

Woo Hoo! I'm in! Thanks Annie & Yelp!

Brilliant event Annie, thank you for it all.

Yea, terrific event Annie, well done! :)

Sorry I missed this one guys, sounded class. I was away at the weekend.

Sounds like a great event! Fair play Annie.
Unfortunately I was probably only surfacing after a great event the day before when it was all wrapping up...

Great event and I second Q re meeting familiar faces and some new faces.  I too am still dreaming about orange blossom buttered scones, and copious bavarian beers!

Oh and a big thank you Annie for organising it all.

Thanks everyone for your kind words, thrilled that you all had a blast. The photos etc will follow today, I was pretty tired after it and I got sick - boohoo! But fit again and ready to rock & roll!

The vendors were terrific too, the photos of all the food and your pretty faces look great!

Not surprised you got sick Annie. Stress is a killer. Thanks for the mittens!

@ Edel - it sure is, hence me booking a massage for tonight :)

I'm seeing a trickling of newer folks on the site - lets extend some friendly compliments to them folks :)

Just back from my cruise......how did the Bazaar go?? I'm gutted to have missed it!!

@ Keyzer it was great! Check out the reviews of the event.

Well I was more gutted to be missing out on meeting you especially ;-P
