- Friday night - I went to Anseo for some drinks and kept very international company - Brazil, Canada, Latvia and Ireland were all represented.
- We tripped across the street into Devitts to hear some trad ceol, which was a little more modern than I'm accustomed to - a jolly old gent cantered a marvellous tune, sean nós style, which we were more than prepared to chat through, until we heard the words Internet, google, myspace, joystick and YouTube cleverly intertwined into a bittersweet love song. Possible New Year's Resolution - go to more sessions?
- Saturday - hit the road up to Belfast and indulged in some delicious mulled beverages and bratwurst at the Christmas Market.
- Went to see Boxcutter and Mary Anne Hobbs in the Black Box, much fun, much dancing, much 'ow' on my ears.
- This was followed up by a tremendous homemade quiche, nomnomnom.
- Sunday - Visited Cavehill for the first time, and was taken aback with both the marvellous views, and my idiocy for not visiting it when I lived in the city.
- Read trashy magazines on the bus back to Dublin, listening to Bert Jansch, and have just tidied my room to within an inch of it's life.
One last thing: I picked myself up a styleophone in UO so I can pretend I'm Bowie for a while.
