Can't you see Bono jumping from roof to roof?
1995?
There was so much 'trad' music. EVERYWHERE. In every bar, in every restaurant, in every store. On Saturday night, there were drunk girls at this pub who were all dressed like Samantha from Sex in the City and they were grinding to a two man Irish Trad band! And the best part was, they were doing that thing where they scream all the lyrics loudly into each other's faces. Tim was turned on.
Surprisingly, there was some good design there.
Pilgrimage to see Phil's statue. When we were taking pics of him, this creepy ex-pat who called himself Johnny Coup came over to us and started talking about the magic of Phil all wide-eyed. He was in a TL cover band. No surprise there. He kept saying silly stuff like, 'its all happening here' as if Dublin was some bustling hub of culture (it wasn't, just a bustling hub of drunks). Anyway, he told us to call him and gave us all his info. Tim said he was definitely from LA. Zing!
Ahoy thar, BEER TRUCK!
Tons of cathedrals. To be expected.
I don't think I saw a single building in Dublin over ten stories high. Such a short city! Also, on the pavement off curbs, painted on the ground were the phrases 'look left' and 'look right' for the dumb foreigners so they wouldn't get hit by cars. Government: They think of everything!!!
