Went to Soundcheck’s Battle of the Bloggers last night. It kicked ass, but I was driving and so drinking Bavaria 0.0% (a “beer” which I can’t recommend … in the slightest). Might have kicked ass all the more if I was drinking and not driving… dunno.

Anyway, it’s gonna be a hectic weekend… I still have to rewrite some scripts for college, still have to pack clothes, etc. – am working at 5pm (in 15 mins time), will get home at about 2am, am flying to Cork at 11.35am (although why Jason, who I’m sharing a flight & hotel room with, decided to go that early I don’t know). Sorry, Rapture Ponies, I’ll miss your pre-flight drinks.

I’ll be staying in a business class room in the Cork International Airport Hotel – which looks the absolute business! That’s extra handy, ‘cos it’s the hotel where the Irish Blog Awards, hosted by the incomparable Rick O’Shea are taking place and it’s only a 5 minute walk from the airport. And I’ll have a few pints, of course. Win, all round

On the downside… I won’t get much sleep tonight.

Best of luck to all the finalists in the awards – I have my ideas of my favourites and those I expect to win, but I won’t mention them yet! I’m thinking I might be live-tweeting/twitpiccing the results as they happen. Oh, and I’ll be bringing my recorder, just in case. (Have to record an interview and vox-pop for a college assignment…)

Anyone who’s going, see you there! Should be a crackin’ night.

Hello SDLP Youth… How are you?

It was nice to get a link from the SDLP Youth web site.

I only got it because I linked to a video on YouTube where two Canadian radio comedians prank Sarah Palin – and the youngsters in the SDLP saw it (-and apparrently, that’s the kind of thing the SDLP Youth enjoy!).
