How to be a dirty stopout!

up for anything

Or rather, how not to be.

How do I survive a night and possibly the best part of a day in the open on a city street? No alcohol allowed.

I can manage the food and drink part, but how on earth do I keep warm during the night and pad my bum against the cold concrete? I can't do the sleeping bag thing and don't want to be left carrying a huge jacket the next day.

Any ideas gratefully accepted.

Bring smokes and a jacket. There's no good reason not to bring some 'padding'

If you dont have the money to book accommodation, go to an internet cafe for the night. I did that before, and then got on a bus the next day for 5 hours. At least it keeps you out of the cold.

Just piss yourself and act drunk, cops may bang you into a cell if you are lucky.

Offer yourself to a homeless in return for food and shelter. And Warmth.

Easy - Just beg all day! Wait for the simon comunity and get some tea, soup and sandwiches off them and then spend the 60-100 euro you made begging on heroin! then after you spend all your money on drugs and drink then hang around a luas stop and ask people for a few euro for a hostel. When you get enough money for a hostel you then buy more heroin!

Buy a couple of cheap sets of longjohns and tshirts from dunnes and wear them under layers of warm clothes. Cardboard under yer arse should do the trick. U can throw it away after

mary white of green party fame could give you a few tips. she stayed out one night in carlow town to raise awareness of the plight of the homeless. although she had massive amounts of clothing a sleeping bag copious amounts of hot coffee and a car nearby should being outside get too much.

Yes, you are. You are warm though which is what I won't be.

Different generation. When you do the walk of shame home in the morning and you're met at the door with a roar of, "where were you, you dirty stopout?"
