    The first photo is just plopped into the e-mail inbox at Guinness Monday HeadQuarters.

    This young man, maybe be arrested for underage drinking, but it’ll be a great story. This is my nephew Tom Joseph Egan, of Botanic Avenue, Dublin 9. He is enjoying a nice pint of Guinness with his mother, my sister Áine at the infamous Grave Diggers Pub, Dublin 9.

    More photos will be published as they arrive.

    UPDATE:

    Here are the photos we have been sent since yesterday


    This one comes in from Mr. HeineKen Lombardo, from Rhode Island, USA

    Sent in by John Ronan from Ireland who was in Chicago on business.

    He writes:
    “Location: Elk Grove, Chicago, USA
    24th September 2009
    Myself, the barman and two guys who happened to be at the bar at the same time. One was on the phone to his girlfriend most of the time, the other guy was watching the football match on T.V. as was I.
    I took it upon myself to inform the Barkeep of the seriousness of the occasion. I think he was suitably impressed.”


    John Mulkeen, at the all important 17:59

    As tomorrow, September 24th 2009, is the worldwide Arthur Guinness Day 250th anniversary celebrations, I’d like to ask you all a small favour.

    This very serious society, Guinness Monday International, who’s dedication is “to those who enjoy a pint of The Black Stuff and who have sporadic meetings in various locations around the world – but only on Mondays”.

    Usually Guinness Monday’s are held with an official member of Guinness Monday. Photos are taken and put on the wonderful GuinnessMonday.com website.

    Unfortunately, since Arthur Guinness Day is being held on a Thursday, we have had to make an exception. I tried calling Guinness in Dublin to ask them to move it to next Monday, but unfortunately they were all in the pub, and no-one was there to answer the phones…

    So, to the favour:

    I want everyone in this e-mail, to go to a pub, preferably their local, order a Guinness, and raise a glass to Arthur Guinness. If you can, I would GREATLY appreciate it, if you could take a photo (ANY photo will do) and e-mail it to

    info@guinnessmonday.com

    Telling us:

    1. where it was held.
    2. what date.
    3. who was present.

    When you do, your photo will be uploaded to GuinnessMonday.com website, and will go on our Guinness Monday Map

    The best photos will get an official Guinness gift. The only thing: we will have to meet in person, so I can give it to you. It’s fragile :)

    So, raise a glass to Arthur tomorrow, and send us your photos to info@guinnessmonday.com.

    Sláinte!

    Bernard
    Honorary President, Guinness Monday Club International

    Board Members:

    Mr. Alan Huggett, Vice-President & Founder, Guinness Monday Club International (UK & At-large)
    Mr. James Kellum, , Vice-President & Founder, Guinness Monday Club International (USA, Republic of Texas, and Ireland)

    =====En Español=====

    Mañana, 24 de Septiembre del 2009, se celebra en todo el mundo el Día de Arthur Guinness, con motivo de su 250 aniversario, y querría pediros un pequeño favor.

    El Club Internacional Lunes Guinness (un grupo muy serio) incluye a todos aquellos que se reúnen esporádicamente, y exclusivamente en día lunes, en diversos lugares del mundo para disfrutar de una pinta del “negro elemento”.

    Normalmente, las sesiones de Lunes Guinness se celebran en presencia de un miembro oficial del club. Las fotografías de tales reuniones se publican en la estupenda web guinnessmonday.com

    Desafortunadamente, como el Día de Arthur Guinness cae en jueves, nos vemos forzados a hacer una excepción. He intentado hablar con Guinness en Dublin para pedirles que movieran las celebraciones al próximo lunes, pero se habían ido todos de pedo y nadie contestó el teléfono.

    Pero me dejo de rollo, y os pido el favor: que todos los que recibáis este correo os vayáis al bar de al lado, pidáis una pinta de Guinness, y brindéis a la salud de Arthur Guinness. Si podéis, inmortalizad el evento con una foto (si está desenfocada o sale torcida no importa, dada la coyuntura), y mandadla a

    info@guinnessmonday.com

    Incluyendo:

    1. Dónde os tomasteis la pinta
    2. La fecha
    3. Quién estaba con vosotros

    Colgaremos la foto en guinnessmonday.com, y os añadiremos a nuestro mapa del Lunes Guinness

    Las mejores fotos se llevarán un regalo oficial Guinness. Pero la entrega del regalo tiene que ser en persona: es frágil.

    Así que brindad por Arthur mañana, y mandadnos las fotos a
    info@guinnessmonday.com

    Sláinte!

    Bernard, Presidente Honorífico del Club Internacional Lunes Guinness

    Miembros del Consejo:
    Mr. Alan Huggett, Vice-President & Founder, Guinness Monday Club International (UK & At-large),

    Mr. James Kellum, Vice-President & Founder, Guinness Monday Club International (USA, Republic of Texas, and Ireland)
