Avenue who? Avenue Q!

Well Avenue Q was absolutely fantastic! Laughed?! We nearly fell down on the floor, soiled ourselves and cried. I recommend it to all, it’s completely worth the trip over to Lahndan. Getting to spend some qualidee time with Vicki is not included for all, I was just lucky!



















Inspired by all things puppety (puppetish? Puppet-esque?), we brought Socky, the sock-like sock puppet along for the ride, with hilarious consequences! Well, hilarious for us anyway. Might have something to do with drinking doubles all night, who’s to know?

I can't hear you

Well it’s been a musical week. Got to see the Raconteurs on Monday night with the Snowflake, we had a rockin’ time. Always forget what a great venue the Olympia is, we had a great view, the sound was terrific (still kinda deaf actually), and they did a cover of Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) which was amazing. I don’t care what people say about Jack White (just shuddit Clicky!) the man sure can play guitar.

And then away to Marlay Park yesterday eve to see Beck and Radiohead. Beck is currently touring with his own puppet show in tow, all little versions of him and his band, also playing along. The puppets are the stars of the screens, as you can see his this here clip .

Radiohead were great, as per. Thom Yorke was in fine form, after his brief (unknowing) encounter with Emma, Nell and Lin in the Centra on Wicklow Street yesterday. I wonder if he’ll ever know how close he came to danger…

Back from nowhere

Been a bad blogger of late. It all started when I took a week off work to rest up and rendezvous with some people I hadn’t seen in ages. Yes, that’s right, it was the return of the travelling girlies! 11 months! And they haven’t changed a bit! Apart from having tans and weary bones and absolutely no money. So I was down in the sticks visiting them, then back in town going out on the razz all the time. I’ve been knackered ever since. Clever plan, wasn’t it?













Supposed to be going to Lahndan this weekend to visit young Vicki and go see Avenue Q (woo hoo!). If they let me into the country, that is. Recent developments mean Heathrow is no longer the magical wonderland of whimsy and amusement it once was. Will have full report next week. Hopefully!
