Queens Of The (Motherfuckin) Stoneage:

QOTSA T-ShirtI went to see QOTSA last night in Dublin's teeny tiny Ambassador Theatre. I love that place purely because even if you are dead late (which we were) and you are far back, you are still not really all that far back. We moved to the front fairly quickly but bot before purchasing a lovely t-shirt which was only €8!!! I am assuming it was an end of line one as they only had size small ones left which suited me grand and the rest of the tee's were about €25, but I had gotten in for free so it was like a free t-shirt too in a way.

I went with my friend Rob and about 10 of his friends, I was being well minded as they were all about a foot taller than me, it did make actually seeing the gig a different story though until one of them very kindly hooshed me up onto his shoulders which promptly resulted in a bouncer dude shining his giant maglite in my face, "I just want to take a picture" I said, he was having none of it until (this is my favourite bit)...Josh Homme tapped the bouncer on the back with his foot (while still playing the song) and said "take that torch out of her face, she just wants to take a picture, you're working for me tonight motherfucker", I loved it, the bouncer retreated back into his shell and then LOADS of people got up on shoulders. The band were posing for pics, woohooo!!!

The gig was great, dancing and singing and having a mess, then we went to the Parnell Mooney, bad move, if anyone is ever going in there I would strongly advise that you DON'T use the toilets, even if you are male, they are vomit-making!

We then went to Forte's chipper on Dorset Street and got a bag of delights including the strangest chip butty I have ever encountered, All I wanted was two slices of bread, butter and chips, but what I got was a pitta bread (???) chips, cheese (ew) and garlic mayo...very strange, it was like they were trying to be fancy. Nice chips though - yum yum!!

Dublin's "teeny tiny" Ambassador theatre is one of our larger venues now and a personal favourite of mine too... Even more special because I saw: "The Jungle Book" there when I was a kid...

Going to RDS on Saturday night for the Pumpkins, not looking forward to that venue!

I love it when bands tell bouncers to fucking FUCK OFF and let the crowd get on shoulders and like, have a good time. It's not like you were doing something out of order like.

Exactly, all I was doing was taking a few pictures and also probably crushing the guy whos shoulders I was sitting on. I am smallish though and couldn't have possibly done it if it were not for him.
