That Time Of The Year Again

fowc.gif

It comes but once a year. That week that I do 70-80 hours of back-breaking work, with no overtime, and really, truly don't mind, as it's so interesting and much fun. The week 250-300,000 people descend on the town of Dun Laoghaire in county Dublin, to attend indoor and outdoor gigs, dance shows, theatre, workshops, clubs, markets and 'street events', and generally have a thoroughly excellent time.

This year, myself and herself have the pleasure of entertaining Adrian and Annie over the weekend. The Sev is arriving tomorrow, and Annie on Saturday. In between doing all those previously-mentioned hours of festival work (6 shows in 4 days, plus discussions, seminars, workshops, photoshoots, tv work, and general management and production-type stuff), I will endeavour to show them why exactly, once a year, Dun Laoghaire is the coolest place in the entire world.

As I'm kinda totally up to my tits (did I mention that already?), I don't know what's going to happen here on the LWT. If all goes according to plan, I will be 'live blogging' the entire thing, in photos (if all doesn't go according to plan, you won't hear jack from me all weekend, but that's not going to happen).

Later dudes. Updates (may or may not start) from tomorrow.

Have a great time, kinda jealous I can't be there.

There's always next year Gordon! It'll probably be even bigger next year too (God help us).

When we were driving by yesterday Sean was wondering had the interants (well that's not the word he used) arrived in DL with all the tents going up. I was cracking up laughing!

Do itinerants usually bring ferris wheels and huge outdoor stages with them then?

Sounds fun! Perhaps I (or we - if I can get my whole family over there) will join you someday. Someday someday someday!

It is huge, huge fun.

Wouldn't it be great if we got a whole gang of bloggers together for like, next year or something, and we could blog it from all angles and have a really brilliant time!

(Someone write that down and remind me next April or something)

That would be fabulous! I wonder how we'd all get on in person...we'd probably have a stonking (to use my new word thieved from a comment at Gordon's) time!

STONKING. :-)

Can I get an invite to next year's stonking event? :-)

You have a much better chance of getting to next year's stonking event than I do. You, after all, are much closer than I am to said stonking event.
