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 was [...]

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 [...]

There are a variety of ways to share images and photographs online:

Blog
Self-hosted Gallery
Photo sharing site such as Pixie, Flickr, Photobucket, SmugMug, Picassa etc.
Social network sites like Facebook/Bebo/Myspace

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 Side [...]

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 [...]

It was such a fantastic weekend with the sun and heat (and sunburn!), wasn’t it, though I’m now convinced that our Summers only come in short bursts of a maximum of 4 days…
Staying out in the Ballsbridge Inn – oddly the very hotel I stayed in for the 2nd Blog Awards in 2007, then called [...]

Each year I look forward to Belfast’s own street performance festival: the Festival of Fools, for I have a respect for those who can gather a crowd in the street and entertain them for 30mins without too many nodding off/going about their shopping.
This, the 6th Festival of Fools, “Ireland’s biggest street theatre festival,” took place [...]
