Venue for Dublin pre-gigs meet-up

[daka]

Ok Lidnu,

Here is a formal 'date'/audition invitation at the Brazenhead, to meet at 11:30 for lunch on June 13th.

Even if you have found your escort by then the invitation still stands.

My Irish mobile number is 087 610 7292
If you can't reach me on that number my Spain mobile back-up number is 0034 626131390.

Sean

Just look for the 57 year old fellow who looks like a cross between a monk and a punk, (in wolf's clothing)

[Diane]

Add Damellon and Allan and Eileen to your list, Daka. Yes fear not, Tinderella, there will be a few of us there on the Friday. Not everyone who comes along to gatherings writes on the board, much or at all. Saturday does look like the peak day though. Looking forward to meeting you!

Damellon is bringing an LC placard, so that people who have no idea what anyone looks like (and none of us knows what some of us look like) can identify our little group. Obviously you can spot a Leonard Cohen fan from a mile off. But just in case.

Hi Lidnu. What a fabulous way in which to enter the forum. We are on tenterhooks to see whether Daka will be your escort. See you at the meet-ups.

My wheels will make contact with Irish tarmac next Friday. Wo!

[tinderella]

Sean, I am sure Lidnu would like a hint of danger in her escort...... makes it more exciting doncha think? Just a hint mind . Looking forward to seeing you all next friday aft.... should be fun! If you do not find a suitable escort, how about a raffle for the Golden Ticket? And winner treats you to the guinness for the week

[Lidnu]

Now this is getting interesting.... Leonard would be amused.

[daka]

Are you suggesting, that there isn't a 'hint of danger' having Daka/Sean as an escort? Do a search and read some of the poems I have written!

Daka's Disrobing
A Laugh to Love
Distant Monk
If One Day the Sign Was Sent
Little Bird Of Paradise
etc.

here's one sample:

A Thousand Kisses Deep

Think of one, not of two
Not the first and not the last
Not the one that says hello
Like the Spanish do

Remember when technique was learned
Understood by two
In a moment you'd return
To the place you knew

First the country, city, house
Everything you knew
She or he would disappear
And then so would you

Freedom from the madding crowd
From life and even death
Sometimes it was so sacred
It would even stop our breath

Doesn't need to be a thousand
'Tis nothing but a word
But when he put it in there
Len sure made sure we heard

Greetings Tinderella,

Although I think Women are Wonderful, I'm kind of looking for a guy date this time 'round. You see, my primary objective is to catch Lennard's eye from the front row, make a connection and have his baby. Should something in this plan go awry, I will then have a 'consolation prize' of sorts in the form of a handsome gentlemen, funny, clever, etc... I realize this is shallow but I'm going thru a shallow period. I've certainly had plenty of 'deep' years behind me. Not all they're cracked up to be either. Besides, "I'm on me 'olidays". I very much like your Golden Ticket Raffle idea - if all else fails. I don't drink alcohol though.... I know, lame. Let's just say, I've used up my lifetimes share of drink already. Always open to alternatives though...

My dear Lidnu,
You are not thinking like a man, therefore your Master Plan may fail. I can help.
If you have another man at your side, you will appear like all the other male/female couples there. What you need is another beautiful woman at your side, so the two of you can catch his eye, then maybe....

As for having a back-up.. Well do the wonderful men here want to be thought of as a 'consolation prize' ... Maybe , At any rate they will still be around in the pub afterwards.

[tinderella]

Greetings and Salutations back to you Lidnu

Very wise words there from Marcie>
if you read back on the posts here , I think you will find most of the funny, witty humour comes from women ....... Anyways, whoever has the pleasure of your company in the front row on the night is lucky. Hope to get to meet you in the Brazen Head pub on the friday afternoon before the gig..... I may ask you to take my camera so you can get a photo of Len for me..... I would have loveddddddddddddddd to have Leonard's baby too .... but those years are behind me now, I am in grand parent mode now

[MFL]

I am in grand parent mode now

But a very youthful, beautiful, witty, nano touting, grand parent.

You could not get much better Lidnu..

[tinderella]

Marcieeeeee... you're so sweet

[tinderella]

By the way Lidnu.... Looking for an irishman that is funny, clever......... and handsome!.... I think it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack

[MFL]

I want Leonard's baby also now .... Soooo cute.


Ok gloves are off he's mine, Keep your hands off him Lidnu, Your getting NO help from me..
HE'S MINE, ALL MINE.

Tinderella, you can keep your money, and the drink you promised, I want his baby instead.

By the way Lidnu.... Looking for an irishman that is funny, clever......... and handsome!.... I think it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack

Yeah and keep your hands off my other man, He's just like that. He's my Needle..

Lidnu
Welcome to the Forum.
I see the gloves are off for this front row ticket, so here's my suggestion.
I think MFL has the right idea.
A man by your side, even a monk (sorry Daka), will be a disincentive to Leonard the lover. (We’re assuming that Anjani is not accompanying him to Dublin.)
You will need a ‘not-as-beautiful-as-you’ woman by your side (sorry, tinderella- that‘s you out ).
This NABAY woman will have other skills of attraction so naturally she will be informative, imaginative, witty and bright.
She will bring out the best in you so you will surely shine.
There is little doubt that Leonard will notice you.
An invitation will be sent to the front row for you and your friend to go backstage.
Perhaps Leonard will be reminiscing his time in Oxford with William.
Voila - 2 women and 2 men. (Eat your heart out Webb sisters!)
Surprisingly , William may not readily appeal to any of the Irish women, so I suggest you go for a Scottish or Welsh companion.
Diane is always ready for a challenge (though she‘s rather beautiful herself).
I, too, have never been known to ignore the thrown-down gauntlet and William and I have sparred before.
As to ‘having his baby’, I can give directions and nominate venues but beyond that ...............

[tinderella]

Ha See Lidnu was I right about the women being the funniest, the cleverest etc etc......
Damellon, you made me smile with your comment about me... if only lol.

By the way... I am really really curious as to how you got your hands on 2 front row tickets? I will be about 40 rows behind you on the night
I wonder if Leonard knows what he is in for with this Irish audience!

[MFL]

Smart Damellon, Very smart You have understated you beauty, trying to leave only yourself in the running.
WELL your not getting away with it, what about that time You won that Miss Scotland thingy...
Your hoping Lidnu will pick you before meeting you..

As to ‘having his baby’, I can give directions

I'm sure Lidnu know's what to do...
