So here goes...I'll post my two first...hope ya like 'em...  ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

I have a decent resolution copy of that jazzband pic at home which I might link to. I really like that pic. Was thinking how cool it would be to have something like that in the Phoenix park..course the lads would probably get mugged or arrested...hehehe!! ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

*LOL* ...That's true....mind you..the guys that had laid out that display were fairly dodgy looking dudes..so dunno if anyone woulda tried stealing their fruit..hehehe!! But is true Rolo.. I walked around the City at all hours of the night and never once felt threatened...well..except once when we were walking down this quiet back street and a car full of gangsta looking heads went by with rap music blasting out the window...and me with armfuls of shopping bags from earlier..hehehe!! but was no hassle...just me with my Dublin nervousness... ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

| First time we went, think it was about '98, we were quite apprehensive about walking around for the first couple of nights. On the third night we met 4 off duty NYPD in Langan's Bar on W47th Street who took no time in telling us how Giuliano's Zero Tolerance approach had really cleaned up the city and made it dead safe. They reckoned Manhattan was the safest area in the world. Hfata say in several subsequent visits never encountered and trouble at all. |

No probs Martin, You need to register for an account (free) with an online picture hosting site like Photobucket (that's who I use). Then you can upload pics from your PC to your account wth them. It's basically like sending a file through a chat program or attaching a file to an email. Once it's uploaded you will be given a url or address for the pic that you can then paste into the image attachment box that pops up when you click the little button above that looks like a tree. Then the pic will be displayed in your post here. As long as you leave it in your Photobucket (or whoever) account it will always show up here. If you delete it from there..it will disappear from here. Course the easier way is to get someone who already has an account o post it for you...but then you'd miss all the fun of learning how to do it..hehehe!! Link for Photobucket is http://www.photobucket.com - ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

BTW ..when you upload the picture to Photobucket it will give you three different codes for each pic.

Thanks Finno Is strange... cos it looks like twilight or early morning..but was taken at the same time as the others..but almost directly in to the sun...so guess the camera in trying to compensate for the direct light produced that effect... ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Yeah Mins, dont be afraid of your first Grove reunion experience. Nobody bites (that I remember!) and everyone is sound. I had butterflies in my stomach before I went down but once I went in and mingled, I didnt want to leave. Rolo is right, you'll be surprised at the amount of people you'll recognise/who'll recognise you when you go in. Looking forward to meeting ya!

Well if nothing else...it will be a fairly original chat-up line anyway..heheh!! And Mins..think we'll need a better clue than knee high boots I'm afraid..be probably easier to spot the girls who aren't wearing knee high boots going from the last re-union..*g* C'mon... gis a clue..!! ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

No need to be nervous about it..it really is the most relaxed and friendly atmosphere you're likely to encounter at any venue in Dublin for sure. You also have the added bonus of being a bona fide member of the GSC as well...which is like the Grove Re-unions very own VIP Club...hehehe!! ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

Second that...last re-union people were coming up and asking us 'so-when did you go' etc and I'm glad to say I met up with a lot of 'old ghosts' but made some new friends too. Mins...you won't regret it...you'll probably be moving back to Dublin because of it... ------------- There are three kinds of people in the world,those who are able to count,and those who can't... |

Just come on in Mins - I'm as shy as they come (I had major butterflies in the carpark of the hotel) but once you meet a few of the gang and hear the first few bars of one of those old Grove songs, you wont look back! ------------- TPFKAB (The Poster Formerly Known As Brunswick). |

Dont think so but would'nt rule it out. Prefer to stay local. but had some in an exhibition in Wexford in September/October so you never know. i enjoy it but work is a dreadful and time consuming interference ------------- A man must have a code |
