I have got about an hours journey into the city, so does not matter if its the city centre, or somewhere North/South, will be on the road either way.<div> </div><div>If we are planning on bringing laptops to show off the pangolin then power would be useful. Even if we go with a picnic we will need a second 'just in case' venue. We could always have a 'hang out' with UL if they are having an event the same day?</div> <div> </div><div>I don't know much about venues in/around Dublin, but I remember the 9.04 launch (has it been that long!?) and we did Chung's then the bar across the river. Got a few casual observers asking questions, overall it worked out well.<div> </div><div>Last time I was out in Dublin I was in "The Mercentile Bar & Grill", they had free wifi, decent seating and probably be a suitable location regardless the day, but that was a year ago...it is still there? ;-) </div> <div> </div><div>On the survey we had 7 responses; 4 for April 28th, 3 for May 5th. The Sunday idea sounds like it could work, especially if it meant everyone being able to attend.</div> <div> </div><div>I will let those more 'on the pulse' of Dublin put forward more up-to-date suggestions. </div><div> </div><div><div id="WISESTAMP_SIG_8118"><div style="font-size:13.3px;font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><img src="https://wisestamp.appspot.com/pixel.png?p=chrome&v=3.11.16.0&t=1334333304838&u=1b9af16f178516dd" width="1" height="1"></div> </div><div class="gmail_quote">On 13 April 2012 10:39, Tom Salmon <<a href="mailto:tom@tomsalmon.com">tom@tomsalmon.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Are there any other suggestions?
