Life on the Greener Side: Adventures on Adventures

On the 12^th of April Aileen took Madison and I into Dublin for a night full of traditional Irish music. After my first Big Mac we headed to Whelans pub (as seen in P.S. I love you) for the concert. This was my first time going somewhere to listen to trad music since I’ve been in Ireland… shocker. I didn’t know what to expect whatsoever. Maybe that’s the best way to go in though because I think it made it that much better! We each got a pint and a table right in front of the stage. A band named Moxie opened which was a group of young guys about my age. Their music was so fun and upbeat! Then Kan came on and they were amazing! Side note: most of the men in this band were bald. Unfortunately my videos won't upload...

We felt pretty lucky because Dublin was last on their tour and we got to see the last show! I guess as with most concerts hearing the songs live are a thousand times better than hearing it on the radio. With trad music, it is 589325438956230 times better in person. Because we were in a small room, the crowd got so into it and the atmosphere is what made the session that much better. I know Mackelmore prefers to do concerts in smaller venues because of this, and I heard his concerts are awesome so… there you go. After the concert we walked around Temple Bar, always a good idea. In Supermac’s a drunk kid got sick in the corner which was pretty disgusting, then proceeded to get on the bus we were on all the way home to our stop… lovely.

Some fun things I’ve been doing lately…
