What beautiful weather we’re having right now, and what perfect way to spend it than a brisk walk along the beach and harbour of Greystones, Co. Wicklow:

I was in Dublin from Tuesday to Thursday. My intention was to see Sufjan Stevens — who was incredible, if a little stranger than I expected, though he did seem aware of his slight strangeness which made it a little better — though as it happened, the Queen of England Queen of the United Kingdom [...]

It wouldn’t be the Irish Blog Awards without the usual bitching about the winners, the backslapping, backstabbing, talk of cliques, the whole charade. The fact that they weren’t nominated, didn’t win, weren’t put in the correct category, a whole host of other pathetic excuses for why this event which has brought many people together should [...]

It was a weekend of many firsts… On Friday I went to my first movie premier; Couples Retreat in the Savoy, Dublin, with introductions by Director Peter Billingsley, Producer Scott Stuber and Writer/Actor Vince Vaughn. Walking down the red carpet with bright lights pointing on me was fun, getting free sweets and a soft drink [...]

Last Saturday myself and Chris found ourselves in Howth, Co. Dublin. Based on what I had seen from the plane in Feb while landing in Dublin from Cork, as well as what I’d heard others say, we took a chance at somewhere to visit outside the city. So glad I did, and will try and [...]

I’ve used Flickr [...]

While the rain prevented much the photo planned photo walk on Saturday and kept us in the pub for a while, Ben, Kate and myself dodged the raindrops and walked towards the City Hall the huge hall and statues: It was still raining when we got out. So quickly returned to the pub.

Kate is organising a photo walk in Dublin this Saturday 6th June due to the unfortunate fact that she will be leaving the city to head home to England. We will be meeting at 12 noon at the South side of the Sean O’Casey Bridge (looks like this) [map] taking in much of the South [...]

Only 10 minutes before spotting the Legalise Cannabis Protest we noticed an anti-fur protest outside a prominent fur seller Barnardo Furs (108 Grafton Street, Dublin 2), who are certainly no stranger to protests at this stage, having had locks glued and shutters spray-painted in the past. [video from recent large protest]. Personally, I think its [...]
