Going? I’m tempted…

Turtlehead presents: MASER versus GAETAN BILLAULT with free beer! Those rocking t-shirt designers Turtlehead (“touching cloth since 2006″) have done it again with their latest Versus. Local graffiti star Maser will be dueling it out with Gaetan Billault hanging, spraying and sticking and drawing directly onto the walls, ceilings, floors and windows. Date: Oct 2nd 2008 Time: 6:30pm Location: 1/2 Smock [...]


Well, what a stormer of an announcement today – Bertie Ahern finally got around to announcing that he will be stepping down as Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland on 6th May. While I greeted his stepping down news with delight, I quickly stopped when he mentioned the 6th May date – “That’s my birthday you bugger!” [...]


Random Drinks, a review

Well Saturday night’s Random Drinks session (organised via Twitter and our blogs) turned out to be a roaring success, with 14 attendees (plus a couple of blow-ins from my IRL friends). As with any event that I’ve been to like this, it’s not easy walking into a large pub and trying to locate people that [...]


 LOOK FOR THE YELLOW HELIUM BALLOONS TO FIND US TONIGHT. Just a quick reminder about the Random Drinks on Saturday this weekend. If you’re in Dublin and fancy joining us, then we’ll be in O’Neills pub on Suffolk St from 7:30pm. Map and current list of sign-ups on the original blog post. Update: The pub is a bit of [...]


LOOK FOR THE YELLOW HELIUM BALLOONS TO FIND US TONIGHT! Update: The pub is a bit of a maze, so Laura & I are planning on getting there early to stake a claim to an area/tables. I’ll twitter our location once we get settled, so make sure you have twitter updates turned on! If you want [...]


A lot of events…

The biggest date for most people in the Irish blogosphere in the coming weeks won’t be Mother’s Day. It will, of course, be the Irish Blog Awards held on March 1st in the Alexander Hotel in Dublin. Before that, under the umbrella of IWTC, will be the inaugural Ireland Geek Girl Dinner, organised by Martha Rotter [...]


then you should love “Long Way Down” with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, starting on BBC2 at 9pm on Sun 28th October. And even better than that, I’m finally escaping the house tonight as the lovely Maryrose has invited me to join her AND meet Charley Boorman who is publicising the new series in Ron Blacks [...]


Dublin TweetUp 2 – 11th October

Do you Tweet or Jaiku? Live in or around the Dublin area? Fancy a nice evening of wine, vibrant conversation and phones vibrating constantly? Then the Dublin TweetUp is for you! Ripped blatantly from Alexia: We’d love to meet you. We’re altogether a great bunch, just to be modest. You don’t have to be a geek to Tweetup, [...]


Elly sees the future…

I was at the inaugural PodCamp Ireland in Kilkenny on Saturday, which proved to be a really fun day. As it was shortly after the honeymoon and I was still tired AND I don’t podcast, I was simply planning on turning up as the driver for my mother, Grannymar, I had no plans to talk or [...]


My xmas tree is up already…

I know, sad I am! But I have a reason at least, while it’s decorated and functioning, it was only so that we could take some photos of it! I decided this year that the christmas cards that we send should be Moo Cards, which I will make into fridge magnets before I send them. [...]


The Women’s Mini Marathon 2005…

Where does the time fly to??? It seems like only yesterday that I went through the registration process for this blog, but here we are already 3 weeks later! Since then, what has happened? Well the biggest thing was my participation in the 2005 Flora Women’s Mini Marathon in Dublin. I went at this 10km walk (in [...]
