    Seen loads of Ads for it, should be good for city, the limerick run is on too.
    I think there are extra things on on Denmark St, like a barman run, and other fun competitions.

    They have been running very regular and prominent ads recently on Newstalk radio also - they typically get played around news updates times.

    Is the website working again? It wouldn't load for me at all a few nights ago. The Facebook page had the info I was looking for as well, in fairness.

    I would be amazed if the Council allowed drinking on the street. The Smiths owner Enright and his manager <snip> are pushing this event sponsored by a booze company <snip>

    The soap box derby last night was a fun kickoff, and the sunshine today was brilliant.
    Got a very good pulled pork sandwich & cole slaw & a Corona for lunch, then listened to a couple of bands.
    Walked down to Arthurs Quay to watch a couple of currach races, and the kids in the park were having a time on the gyro & the bungee swings.
    Driving & parking looked like kind of a pain, so I was very glad I was able to just walk up from my apartment.
    Hopefully the weather will hold for the rest of the weekend, but so far I'd call it a success.

    Did not have time to make it into town today (which sucks) but I'm glad it all went well. Got a few pics of the fireworks but the weather was so bad! Hope the sun comes back out for the run tomorrow.

    Doing the half marathon. Cycling across town now in a few minutes to get ready with a few old college buddies. Hoping to see a few more familiar faces during the day. :)
