some of the girls -
Tori, Cindy, Kelsey, me & Hillary
Andrew got on the bar for the big finale :)
click here to get a glimpse of Andrew & Totally Wired singing one of my FAVORITE covers of all time :)
---Hillary has few comments to make during the clip haha
we even got to hang with one of our law school best friends, Bobby, at the Kitchen
(starts with a B, end with an obby)
after the band was finished, Andrew took us to one of his hangouts, Lillie's Bordello, off Grafton Street.
a small taste of the inside of the posh night club --->
supposedly, it is the place that all of the celebrities can be found when they are in town.
Bono had been there the week before - but we didn't see anyone famous...
<--except the rock star that we came with lol
it was a brilliant night.
Day 22 - the next morning (TGIF), we got up and headed over to Merrion Square to check out the Street Performers World Championship. nope, i'm not kidding...
needless to say, it was amazing.
it reminded me a lot of the fringe festival in Edinburgh (except this only took over a park, not the entire city)
Friday was "warm-up day" so the place wasn't too ridiculously crowded and we could enjoy some of the shows.
this is Pete Dobbing. he does his show from the top of a ten foot ladder.
this is him balancing on the ladder while he takes his shirt off, showing the crowd "what real men look like"
want to watch clips from his show? (trust me, you do)
like at any good festival, there was an area set up for face painting.
we decided to take this opportunity to gear up for the World Cup game against Slovenia.
Kelsey was going to the theatre that evening, so she opted out of face paint, BUT she loves hats, so we got her a balloon hat to show off her American pride.
Hillary and i went all out at Sinnotts, and enjoyed the game with buffalo wings and Coors Light.
the game was a lot of fun to watch (even though Slovenia plays dirty, the referee sucked and it ended in a draw)
<-- p.s. reason #347 why we love B.Love
after the game, Cindy and i went back to the Street Performers. law school friend Roger came with us....
a decision he would soon regret....
we stopped to watch the crazy Canadian woman, Sharon Mahoney
Cindy and i got right up in the action, but Roger stood moderately away from the crowd under a tree.
she called him out almost instantly.
it started small, with simply holding a flag....
but it soon became clear that Roger was going to be one of the main characters in this show.
she had four "volunteers," but he was definitely her favorite.
after she changed into her 2nd costume (in front of the entire crowd)
the real fun began.
the big stunt was pretty cool.
as was the finale.
so glad we stopped to see this show, ay.
it was quite a long Friday, but after a brief nap, we decided we'd do an early night in Temple Bar (this means going out around 9 and coming back at 11 so we can catch the bus).
we finally went to check out The Palace Bar - on B.Love's recommendation.
it's an old pub, pretty famous for the chill atmosphere. we went upstairs for a pint of Bulmers.
the room was just a little bigger than my dorm room and three young guys were hanging out, playing various instruments (guitars, a ukulele and some sort of drum) and just having a great time entertaining the small gathering of people.
one of them had a really impressive, deep, Johnny Cash voice. check out one of the songs they sang.
wow, what a busy day and loong blog post!
you should probably leave me a comment about it... ;)
