Today's an official holiday in Ireland, but not for the reasons its celebrated in the US. I get this lovely bank holiday off because of May Day which I think was technically May 1st, but oh well. Its gotten to be really nice here. It feels like Chicago's finest spring day: in the upper 60's with absolutely no humidity, or for those familiar with Grand Lake, its just another summer day amidst the mountains and trees.
The past few days or so have been nice. Ariella's little sister is in town and had a room at the Westin so a few of us crashed there for a few days which was fine by me. You know me, I've never been one to turn down room service and a place that makes your bed everyday. Anyhoo, they were on the top floor and had an amazing balcony looking out over the city. Its hard to get a top view of the city here because there are no tall buildings. For instance the hotel is only 6 stories high and I could look out over most of the city. So that was fun, minus the fire alarm on the last morning we were there.
But last night I went and saw Curt and Josh, Flosstradamus from Chicago play at Crawdaddy with Alain, A-trak. We met up and they let me hang out with them and eat their snacks. Its weird when Chicago kids come to Dublin to play shows because I kind of fan-out on them. Its like when they're playing in Chicago its no big deal but when they're across an ocean in your new city, not only are you excited to see a familiar face but you also get really proud to know them (insert America joke here). Ok, fan-out over. But last night was fun, and today I am finishing up a paper and project due tomorrow. The end is near.
