Cool, Friday night it is, then!

Did you have a particular time (X)marked on your schedule for this gathering of the Rabble? 7pm? 8pm? 9pm?

As I mentioned, if an Irish pub sounds good to you, there's 2 nearby - O'Connor's (a very fine establishment that's been a mainstay on the NW side for many years)

or a new pub called Tim Finnegan's
http://www.timfinnegans.com/

There'll be live music at Tim Finnegan's at 9pm Friday the 11th, if that's of any interest to you. Usually there'd be live entertainment on Friday night at O'Connor's, too, but no one is scheduled, yet, though that could change.

Let's us know what sounds good to you & we'll try to rustle up the Rabble to meet you & yours.

Okay the boss says enjoy myself, but remember I'm getting up at 5am so it will be a early nite for me (does that mean I can stay up till almost midnite?)
Let me know where and when and I be there

Sweet! That live music bar... Finnegans was it? 9:00 I would say.

Well, glad you like the idea of live music at Tim Finnegan's. You could easily walk to Finnegan's from your hotel since it's only 3/4 of a mile away. The 4 Points Sheraton is on an oval shaped road that circles Metro Center Mall. Tim Finnegan's is in a strip mall at the south entrance into Metro Center (29th Ave & just north of Dunlap). So, you just need to walk or drive south on that road, past the amusement park (Castles & Coasters) to the southern entry road (29th Ave - has traffic light), turn left & then real soon turn left again as soon as you go over the Arizona Canal (look for entrance by the Subway sandwich shop). Tim Finnegan's is just a couple stores down from the Subway. And if that isn't detailed enough directions, here's a mapquest.com link -

I'll plan on getting there at 2030 MST (8:30pm) to try to save a table or two before the band gets started.

And did you check out the website for Tim Finnegan's? They're posting videos of the bands that play there, so maybe next week they'll have a video of The Scones. If not, here's a link to CD Baby where you can listen to samples of The Scones CD, "Do You Hear?"

Does all that sound like a good plan?

What about it Zonies? Who can make it Tim Finnegan's Friday night, April 11th?

Ok I have some insight as to the band that's playing at Tim Finnegans on that Friday. The Band's name is "The Scones". They are a primary cover band that does mostly U2, the Beatles, and Toad the Wet Sprocket songs. They are very talented musicians but I'm willing to bet that the bar is going to be SUPER packed.

Two of the owners of Tim Finnegans are from same group of people who own Fibber Magee's and Skeptical Chemyst here in the valley. I have probably seen The Scones over 50 times. I don't want to try and dissuade you in the least, because like I said the Scones are a very talented band and have lots of energy to boot. It's just not Irish music if that's what you were looking for. What's nice though is that if you decide that it's not for you, or that it's WAY too busy to even hear each other talk (like it normally is with the scones) then O'connors is just right across the street.

I will still try to make it regardless because I will go out for the company that I'm with not worry about anything else. I'd love to get together and share a bunch of pints with all of you. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

I look forward to seeing you all.

Slainte!

Talk about obscure quotes!

That makes me want to have some port near the Old Bailey.

Dar! And bring ye your sun screen grease. I got sun roasted at the Renaissance fare on Sunday...

It's been getting warm out here.
