10pm in Hogans - should be able to make it. A friend of mine is filming Mardi Gras and the fireworks for TG4's Féilte, might see if he wants to tag along.

Right: if I'm there, I'll be wearing black denims, a pale blue t-shirt and a navy Portwest zipped fleece, & my gf is blonde.

I should recognise you, Darko!

I should be there a little after 10, I'll definetly be in before 20 past so I shall see whomever is there then.

sorry that i wasn't able to go lads, I had no lift. hope the night went well for ye, and there's a street festival in westport anyway soon, so might squeeze out a few people there if we can get a few participants...

Well look on the brightside, I'll have an 'infraction free' night on Boards...

Got there just after a quater past ten and waited till about ten to eleven. Did'nt meet any boardsies but I did bump into the one person in Ballina I was trying to avoid.

I went to the toilet in Hogans! Was well late though! I was drinking in the Jug! If only I'd known Hogans was just down a bit I would have popped down!

When I was in there waiting I noticed three people keep looking at me so I assumed that they were boardsies and went over. Turns out they just wanted to know if I "was a fucking faggot with red hair?" Had to disappoint them and inform them that I was unfortunalty hetro and that "if I was in fact gay could more than likely do better than three inverted red necks." Don;t think I made friends with them.

LoL jaysus that hair is causin ya enough bother anyway :P I had a quick peek around for ya while I was legging it to the toilet!

If it was after 11 then I was up the town with some friends watching the festivites before venturing down to Longnecks which was quite horrible.

Ah we went to some Sweeneys place and Brennans. I've been in LongNecks a good few times. Wouldn't really be my sorta scene but we'd never get a taxi to Crockets. Yeah it was after 11. We were in the Jug since about half 9, left there at 11 or so and went to watch the parade. Thought I was gonna wee myself though so popped into the loo in Hogans.

It's not my type of place either but I got dragged along. The one good point was afterward when I danced across the bridge singing the song "Laundry Day" from Dr Horrible the musical much to my friend's girlfriend and her friends embarrasment. I myself though I was bloody brilliant.

Back on topic.

Did anyone else venture in to Hogan's for awhile? Kept an eye out for oscarBravo but did'nt see him.

I finally got to Hogans around 2250 - must have just missed you. I was looking out for the red hair but didn't see it. My friend the cameraman was on the street filming at that point so I went to talk to him.

Another time, perhaps. nevf, when's the Westport festival? Nobody tells me anything way out here in Knockranny.
