Oxegen 2008

There's the Oxegen 2008 festival near Dublin:

I like the line up, it fits in with my week off work, but it would be nice to

1) know more about it, I've not been to Punchestown racecourse before, how close is it to Dublin and can I 'commute'?

2) not go on my own... *sigh*

Help appreciated.

No Jive

JiveFusion finished at GY town hall last Monday night, no warning just announced on the evening. I had finally been crewing for them for the last 3 weeks too, so I saw how much money wasn't being made (barely enough to cover the room hire, let alone petrol and wages for the teacher).

It's sad it's happened but not entirely surprising - you can't really run a class with 14 people!

So dancing is only in Lincoln at the moment, which is 70 miles round trip :-(

But there's a class in Market Rasen on Monday nights, which will be worth investigating. Some of the Grimsby lot already go, so there'll be familiar faces.

Ho hum. Just as things were starting to get going for me.... at least I learnt how to do the Maddison dance! :-)

Reasons to be cheerful

Blackpool trip next weekend - this time next Sunday I will have stalked the pretty, eaten chips, caught up with childhood memories, ridden the Steeplchase at the Pleasure Beach and possibly, just possibly squeed myself silly. Possibly.

The list of things to do before getting there is growing apace... *sigh*

The list of bands I'll pay to see live is also growing:

Turin Brakes
Justin Currie
Editors
Chris Cornell
Idlewild
[Athlete - not sure if they're touring]

All playing on evenings where I can see them - yaaay!

It's lining up to be another stunning sunset and a quiet night at w**k. I have the key to the roof to poi on my break too. Not a bad night really :-)

First post!

Hi,

Well, I suppose any first post should contain something profound/ entertaining/ enriching.... but this one doesn't. It just says "hi!" :-)

Await future installments for entertainment/ enrichment/ de profundis!

*hugs*
