Why, oh why, can i not fix the typo on the name of this thread?!

Hey everyone,

Trying to organize a California bay area dinner / VO convention

Location : Chieftain Irish Pub

The Chieftain Irish Pub & Restaurant
198 5th St, San Francisco, CA ‎
(415) 615-0916 ‎ · thechieftain.com

voted best irish pub in SF!
certain nights have live music!

(no pool table, no dart board. just a table for us, food and booze)

they have decent booze/food prices and a menu that has meat and meatless options
the restaurant is a 5 minute walk from Powell St BART station, right down 5th Street.

TIME : TBA (based on availability of those that can attend)

If you are in the area, this thread is for you.

I *MIGHT* be there around the right time! but yeah no sense in planning around my travels.
Jul 22, 2013 bjornvader link
there's sense in it!! when would you be in the area?
Jul 22, 2013 Harbinger1 link
I'm in the area already! I'm happy to adjust.

They have free wi-fi

possible good dates :

August 3rd (Saturday)
August 4th (Sunday)
September 7th (Saturday)
September 8th (Sunday)

good hours to arrive for seating without reservations:

2 - 4 pm

they also have Weekend Brunch
11:00am - 3:00pm (Sat)
11:00am - 3:00pm (Sun)

the Saturday night crowd gets a little chaotic but I wouldn't presume
us to stay there for hours on end? maybe I'm naive?

I'd rather not be there for the raucous crowd and have trouble getting a table. Between 2 and 4 is good for me.
Jul 24, 2013 bjornvader link
i'm down to do this august 3rd so long as everyone is in town / available
2:00 pm works for me.

if anyone can't make that time please say something

if you are good to go, please state that as well.

if we get too many people we will have make a reservation. EDIT : s/too many/enough

at this point, my girl and i will be attending so i count as 2 people.
Jul 24, 2013 Harbinger1 link
I'm good to go. It would be cool to have enough people for a reservation.
Jul 24, 2013 bjornvader link
yeah i worded that poorly, i wasnt trying to imply i dont want alot of people
Jul 24, 2013 Harbinger1 link
I didn't read it negatively at all, I just think it would be good to have that many people show up.

Jul 27, 2013 Lord~spidey link
what? oh yeah no way in hell I could make it on those dates, but we'll see my travels take me weird places on short notice so I *might* end up somewhere in calif sometime before 2014 this year.

also the vo devs better watch out i'll be in chicago on the 4~8th of september an i'll be driving up to milwaukee shortly after.
Jul 27, 2013 Harbinger1 link
I'm flexible about the date - I'm just a BART ride away.
Jul 31, 2013 bjornvader link
well.. looks like its just you and me then harbinger1.
wanna eat some bangers and mash and get wasted on irish beer and whiskey?

EDIT : decaulking & recaulking the bathtub has devoured my entire weekend
