    So, who from our esteemed musicals board is attending this event?

    I'm heading down on the 11 o'clock train, possibly bringing a few alcoholic beverages. The nominations for the awards are due out this Sunday, I really hope Jane Eyre gets nominated, it was fantastic! On that note, did any of you come to see it?

    The timing isn't great for us - it's the weekend right before we open RENT in... that venue we're not allowed discuss...

    Nevertheless, I'll be doing my best to represent (especially if we snag any noms) - so watch out for a slightly unhinged speccy dwarf rampaging through Killarney!

    Nominations are out today for the National AIMS Awards, and RENT has been nominated for:

    - Best Overall Show
    - Best Director

    See: http://www.aims.ie/services_adjudication_noms_sullivan.asp

    This is fantastic news and a major coup for our very first year of involvement with AIMS. The awards ceremony is the weekend before we open in *you know where* (brill timing I know), so fingers crossed!

    I find the AIMS weekend to be horrendously over priced, for what you're getting. It costs a bloody fortune.

    I disagree and the price came down this year. Any ball would cost €125 or more per ticket which leaves €175 for two nights b&b, dinner on the Friday, entertainment/dj and 2 lunches.

    Not at my table you won't ;)

    I'm sitting with my other society at AIMS though I won't ever be far from Coolmine and the i-bombs ;) I love my Coolmine pals but some of my bestest ever friends are in my other society and they're who I'm sharing with.
