Hot air balloon & random day out...

baby and crumble

Hey guys, just an FYI that might be good for some shots tomorrow (Sat 23rd) starting at about 1 in Ranelagh gardens there's a re-enactment of the first ever irsh hot air balloon ride... I know, kinda random, but I reckon you could get some decent things, if the weather's half decent...

1-2pm Balloon launch.
During the launch Brendan Ellis reading from Deirdre Kelly’s book.
2-3pm Mr Toons, street performer, performs INSIDE a helium balloon.
3-4pm Bryan MacMahon tells the amazing story of Richard Crosbie (and his fellow balloon-atics) with a wide range of illustrations from the period.
4.30-6.30pm Ria Czerniak plays in Pinnochios.

Apparently there'll be people wandering around in period costume too...

Oh well, at least it was crazy foggy, so I didn't bother going in... (that and the hangover are what prevented me....)

It didn't launch. Wind was going in the wrong direction. They inflated it up allright for about 30 mins.

Can't believe I missed this post. We were frantically looking for something to do today.
