Sherifu

No idea. Need more info. Now i'm curious.

tman

Yeah, got a bus there at 1:30 and there didn't seem to be much happening then... What's going on now?

connemara man

i'm down in an internet cafe an can hear music blaring from a truck and i saw some form of petting zoo

Fly High

I'm not around but I presume it's the solstice festival thing.. Are there many hippys?

connemara man

cant see

Fly High

There was supposed to be a parade yesterday and general faffing about today for the summer solstice but like I said I'm outta galway this weekend so I'm missing all those crusties worshiping pagan gods, damn! The sun god is my favourite...

connemara man

all hail the sun god. i like the egyptian god ra is my fav

Fly High

The sun god goes by many names... It's all well and fine for egyptians to be worshipping the sun, but Irish people?? We should be worshipping water or potatoes or something...

connemara man

well we worship the sun coz of its rarity and then have the usual lobster effect afterwards as thanks

Fly High

Did you get any confirmation as to what this ruckous was??

There was something on the radio about a brass band festival / competition and parade to the Spanish Arch, it might have been that.

A lot of events that were scheduled to be out doors were moved indoors over the weekend.

Fly High

DRakE

you were in eyre square at an internet cafe so you posted on the internet to find out what was going on..

connemara man

well the people in the cafe didn know and as i didn want to leave a spot next to a power source (i was on my laptop) i thought i might aswell ask.

moomoo2007

connemara man

Unfortunatly there is no Sun god to worship over this side of the country...... ! We only have the Umbrella Gods, who have come to save us from the Rain of a thousand drops.......

FYI
Campaigners in Galway are organising a Freedom from Torture festival.

"The Street Parade will be lead by a 10-metre dragon keeping the flame of hope alive. Drummers, jugglers and flame throwers will be joining the parade, which starts at Eyre Square and ends at Spanish Arch. There will be a concert and picnic with performers and activities at Spanish Arch."
