…for your advice on drinking. In the end I got unspeakably drunk. In that I couldn’t speak by the end of the night. Even now I can’t speak. I’ll have to type at people all day. That’s if I decide to go out of the house.
Leviathan was quite fun, I have to say. John Waters suit was sharp and Killian from the Shinners was good for a laugh. Which is lucky, I suppose. A less humorous chap might have blown me up or something.
Oooh, I also met Jim Carroll who ran off before I could buy him a drink. The sober bastard.
were they impressed by the state of your eye? Must have got you a lot of attention?
Jim Carroll doesn’t drink. Wise man.
So were you brilliant or wha? Any curious TM groupies show up?
And the Lord said! Moses will come fourth, but Kieran Fallon rode him and he came fifth.
Twenty “Iron Bars” Major was the highlight of the night. Much better than that silly billy from the Green Party.
Sorry i head to head off, twas good to meet you. Your eye make-up was only wonderful, chap.
Damn, I missed it. Glad to hear it went well though, sounds like you were the star of the show. Did you meet Naomi-Logo?
Bad Am – I wore shades. And a hat.
Sinead – I started badly but soon the bourbon kicked me into gear.
Iron bars, heh. It’s a good job Killian has a sense of humour. Nice to meet you too, Jimothy.
Annie – I did not meet her. I’m not that upset about it, I have to say.
Is there a podcast?
Was De Burca of the “eighties” hair with you?, If so I am gutted her posters gave me a jolt on the way to work each morning and I wanted to thank her for making my unfashionable barnet seem normal.
She sat right next to me.
No idea about a podcast.
A man’s pods are his own business Lena!
Leviathan. Sounds some bad 80′s metal band…
I’m pretty sure you were just fabulous.
Well I Googled it and it looks like some sort of satirical political forum. Is that the thing? I’d love to hear a podcast of that if anyone knows of one. I disagree about the privacy of a man’s pods though. If they are in the public arena, his pods belong to us all. The Leviathan sounds both arenaey and publicy and the word Leviathan sounds particularly encouraging when it comes to thinking on pods. Particularly encouraging, oh yes, uh-huh.
(I have creeped myself out too, it’s not just you.)
Fair play for showing your face, Twenty.
What a pity though that the hat/shades combo made you look like a cross between Bono and the Edge.
That John Waters is an awful eejit.
a cross between Bono and the Edge.
RIP Libero !
So you were out famewhoring again? Good for you. I hope your liver bashes you senseless from the inside *Mwah*
Enjoy marinating in your hangover. Question. Should the words ‘enjoy’ and ‘hangover’ occupy the same sentence?
I hope you went at John Waters with a scissors… if ever there was a man in need of a haircut..
I found John Waters to be a very nice chap. He had the good manners to laugh at all the foul things I said to him off-mic.
Occurred to me that came across a bit vicious alright!I don’t always agree with what he says but I think he means well and can be v entertaining. The hair though… makes him look like a mental health ad looper.
If you hear of a podcast or transcript will you let us know?
I could use it. I’m doing a thesis.
;)
hrrmm twas most interesting indeed not at all what I expected. Jen took some sneaky pictures, that lady has stalker potential. I was freezing to death so we went early.
Did you go?
I did indeed.
What did you make of my comments about Hitler?
“comments about Hitler”
What??
I see.
I was absolutely freezing and coughed continuously (yep that was me) left early. Jen stayed I’d imagine the only thing stopping her from inundating you with questions at the end of the evening was her future husband sitting beside her. I went to them before and thought Friday was very different I would have loving to stay to see you ‘dance’ but had to head for my lill mofo bro’s birthday.
You’re mad.
Why?
You just are.
Ok then you are being rather rude. I detect a note of sarcasm. Providing my beautiful self ain’t in any I will mail you some photo’s. Good day to you Sir.
I wasn’t being rude. Perhaps a touch sarcastic but not rude.
Why don’t you want yoursaelf in the photos? Are you sinfully ugly? A mutant perhaps?
Nonny wasn’t at the show.
“Are you sinfully ugly? A mutant perhaps?”
Yes.
Is this the Basketball Diaries Jim Carroll or some Irish bloke that I don’t know?
Because I just checked this guy’s blog and he’s fucking lame!
No way, Jim’s cool.
And are you trying to tell me there’s another Jim Carroll?
Theres a clatter of us
The Basketball Diaries Jim Carroll – http://www.catholicboy.com/
The Canuck Internet Visionary Jim Carroll – http://www.jimcarroll.com/
And then, er, me.
This site is an in-depth exploration of the work, biography, and legacy of New York poet/diarist/lyricist/performer Jim Carroll
Well, he sounds like a right cunt.
Innovation, creativity, trends, the future and change — that’s the focus of internationally recognized futurist Jim Carroll!
Well, he sounds like a right cunt.
I write about music and the music business for The Ticket , the weekly entertainment supplement with The Irish Times, and have been doing so since it was launched in November 2000. On The Record is the blog of the column which I write for The Ticket.
Before this, I did time as a journalist and editor for a rake of publications here and in the UK, and also worked in A&R, press and label management for several record labels and publishing companies (both independents and majors) in Ireland, the UK and US.
Well, etc etc…
I could see that one coming down Harcourt Street
heh, I like to be predictable at times. It makes me unpredictable.
Did you know you were a stadium too?
