A thread to log the things you are gonna enjoy the fuck out of when life gets back to normal… real soon. Apologies if another thread exists.
A Damo Dempsey concert. I’ve been here for the last half hour cleaning up and listening to the almighty love album… belting out the tunes. It reminds me of so many Damo gigs, the spirituality, the feeling of communal joy and shared experience. I’m gonna be down the front at a Damo pre Christmas Vicar Street gig this year. Belly full of Whiskey, belting out every tune. Bring it fucking on!
I’d say I’ve seen him live about a dozen times since 2004 in many different venues/settings and I have never left a gig disappointed. He leaves it all onstage, a real uplifting night out.
He was excellent in the iveagh gardens on a lovely sunny evening back in 2018
I’m looking forward to the first big match with a proper big crowd and full stadium. Something like the Dubs in Croker or a full Semple or a packed Lansdowne Road. The buzz of excitement building in the hours beforehand, pints etc.
Then that release of noise and pent-up emotion and communal joy when the teams come onto the pitch or the game kicks off.

My going away party from my last job. Waiting 12 months now and had a great catch up with ex colleague tonight on it.
Pints, a week in ibiza, a fuck load of matches regardless of what code or weather. And some greenaway. The only stopping me is my lack of a bike that I keep saying I’ll buy
