After quite a hectic Thursday, we finally arrived to @3arenadublin for @onerepublic, a band which we both have liked over the years and many of their songs.. I’ve been a fan of @ryantedder song writing talents and the various songs he has wrote with other artists and for tv shows over the years.. Once the door opened, we made use of the 3 Plus Lounge to relax before the opening act @ellahendersonofficial came on to get the crowd excited and dancing before @onerepublic came on

Sunday Funday! Heading back to the @bordgaisenergytheatre for another show, @thestepsmusical. We initially had tickets for the cancelled show later in the week, but now we're stoked to see this jukebox musical based on @officialsteps' hits. Set in the seaside superstore Better Best Bargains, where music and dance reign supreme on Friday nights, the story follows Caz as she uncovers secrets and betrayal that threaten her friends' summer of love. Can love conquer all? This mus

Busted vs McFly – A Fun-Filled Monday Night at the 3Arena Finally, the Monday night in October we’d been waiting months for since snagging presale tickets — Busted Vs McFly! We’d seen McFly live a few years back (they were brilliant!), but sadly couldn’t use our tickets for Busted at the time because one of us was unwell. So this “VS” show felt like we were making up for lost time — and the excitement was real. The weather wasn’t going to dampen our spirits as we made our way

You would expect things to go back to normal once I put our mother on the coach home, however I went off shopping to sort a few last bits for the Christmas tree and soak in the christmasy atmosphere on O'Connell Street for the turning on of it's Christmas Tree and whilst getting a free packet of Tayto, I got my photo taken with Mr Tayto, sure be rude not to. On the route home, hopped into the Church of Adam and Eve, the National Shrine to St. Anthony, to check it out. The cra

After the holiday to Lanzarote, I decided it was about time to check off the remaining churches that I wanted to see and had eluded me so far, around the city. In particular the insides of the Pepper Canister church, St Paul's Smithfield which is the church Eamon de Valera got married in and  University church near St Stephen Green which I didn't know much about before hand. It was during lent when I was able to visit the church so waited until after it's lunch time service t

With the excitement of Italy behind us, we came home to the joys of accommodation hunting  which was proving difficult separately  and +Niamh  starting her new college course in Healthcare Informatics. When we started to look for a place together, although still hard was more promising. We still had time to enjoy ourselves, with a reception at Harvey Nichols and cinema tickets to see Before I Go To Sleep in Dundrum. My weekend off, was a quiet affair, just spent watching Clar

The excitement for the Flora Women Mini Marathon, all started when Clodagh came up on the Saturday afternoon, we spent the rest of the day and night, shopping and catching up on all the gossip. It was really when  +Liam  met us in town after work, when things got fun, as we all had to trek out on the bus, to the RDS to collect race numbers and goodies and sample the food on offer. After all that, decided to check out the Dublin Port Riverfest, in the docklands. All 3 of us, w

On route to work whilst on Twitter and Facebook, I managed to get the details and then buy 2 tickets for  +Ed Sheeran  secret gig at Vicar Street on May Bank holiday Monday. As soon as I could managed to change my hours in work to leave a tad bit earlier. After work on that Monday, I met  +Niamh  on route to the gig, where we met mates Micheal and Sarah in the bar of course, after collecting the tickets from the box office first. When Ed came on stage, everyone went crazy, ou

After quite a long week, both myself and +Niamh  couldn't wait for Saturday and  +Miranda Hart . We managed to get tickets on Living Social for the +Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship and Famine Museum  for 6.50€ instead of 18 euro. I was lucky enough to get my bus to almost at the ship where I meet Niamh. There was a few people gathered outside the office, including ourselves, the door was locked, which worried a few of us, but the tour guide it seems runs the office and tour simulta

The season of giving seemed to begin early this year, when on Friday 22nd my mother rang to tell she just won tickets to see 30 Seconds to Mars, and then within minutes, managed to get Dublin Zoo tickets for just 5 euro each for myself and Niamh. I some how was onto a roll, as I got nearly all my Christmas Presents bought that afternoon too. So the following day, both Niamh and myself were excited as finally after months of waiting, the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who,
