The Mercantile down in the rocks will be packed as usual.

I'm not sure where to go really, don't like PJ O'Briens, Scruffy's is a hell hole. Might just head to the Porterhouse or Durty Nelly's.

hussey

define the craic, there will a big contingent in teh rocks, and some ppl will start at 1pm or earlier!

but merc is usually good, but will be packed, I head to the rocks anyway.

They are turning the opera house green at 6.30pm on wednesday, and on sunday the parade and an irish day in the park is on too

Was there until about 5:30 ish, man it was hot during the early part around midday. Got myself plenty of Taytos so off home I went, had a swim in the pool to cool down and few crisp sandwiches.

Was there till the bitter end!! Some day!! Started off slow enough that one man and his guitar Rory Faithful was awful, would do a better job myself! Once Eleanor McEvoy finished the music really took off!! Blackwater pure class and For Folk Sake good as well and that U2 band were brilliant, usually not a fan of tribute bands but these where good or maybe it was the massive amount of alcohol in my system!!

Did anyone see the lads climbing the trees and just dropping into the crowd as the bouncers approached then 5 minutes later same bloke up tree and bouncers running over but he disappeared into crowd happened about five times!!

Also on the way out a lad up a tree surrounded by bouncers waiting for him to come down! wonder is he still there?

Some clown tried to run onto the stage when the u2 act where playing as well! he hopped fence at side and was up steps of stage and all before bouncers caught him!!

Why was the bloke on roof of stage missed him!

Going live on Tayto for the next month!! 3 for $5 better that $4 a pack in the Three Wise Monkeys!

At the VERY END..He was doing a jig in a Leprauchan hat on the roof, the police rescue had to pull him down, they were starting to rough him up abit and they saw me filming and stopped, got a tip on the shoulder from a cop and told me it was an offence to film a police officer and requested me to delete the file, needless to say I didn't argue with him :cool:
