Time Flies When You're Having Fun

It's Sunday night already!  How did this happen?

Oh that's right, the Dublin Irish Festival was this weekend.  And I had a blast and a beer.  That's right, only one.  Actually, I even shared that one. 

The Festival completely snuck up on me.  I knew it was coming, but it still took me by surprise.  Summer is going way too fast.  How can it already be August?

Normally I only go Sunday morning to the festival because when you donate a can of food you get in free.  This year I went Friday and Saturday night.  And it was amazing.

This is Gaelic Storm, who played Friday night.  A ton of my friends rave about their music, and now I know why.  Even though I was crammed in the midst of four thousand strangers, with no room to move, I had so much fun! Their music is Irish with some rock thrown in and so much energy.  Loved it.  Want the music.  Kind of want to be a serious groopie and follow them around on their tour.

Also, Irish Dancing is fun to watch.  I'm too afraid to try it.  Maybe I will some day when I decide I'm okay with breaking my ankle.  FYI, I was informed one of these dresses can cost a few thousand dollars, the wig is another four hundred.  So that's why my parents put me in ballet!

Finally, having friends in high places is awesome.  I got to hang out backstage at one of the stages and just chill and listen to the wonderful music.  It was great!  And I'm really tired.
