Ok.. not really... but...
Valentines night at Republica sounds a bit dangerous, Everytime DJ Brian plays the song
'Do You Wanna Funk?' you have to "Snog" the person next to you..
So you could be next to the man of dreams and hey presto, or you could be next to the biggest troll in Dublin.
The "BIG SNOG IN" is on Feb 14th at Republica, no doubt it'll be a laugh :)

Valentines day will see the opening of the new "T-Dance" at the Tivoli, Dancing is from 3pm until 8pm, where
DJ Karen will provide music from the 70's and 80's, admission is £5 and theres a full bar for all you non tea drinkers.
There will be a 'lady in red' competition, so if you wish to take part in it, don't forget to wear something
red.
The next T-Dance will then be held on March 14th with your hostess Ms T.
Best of luck :)

A new #gay-ireland channel has been set up on IOL's IRC server
To use it you need IRC, which you can get from http://www.mirc.com (see the what section of this very website for more info)
The channel has been set up because currently undernet is very lagged and is proned to netsplits.
So far IOL is very fast and there is no net splits. Once you have an IRC program you need to log onto
irc.iol.ie port is 6667, another advantage is that you can register your username, so no one else can use the same
nickname as you!! very cool indeed :)
busy times are usually late evenings... see you there!! |
