Bad Manners by Ann Treacy

On Friday night Patrick and I went to see Bad Manners. They were great! I’m pretty sure that the last time I saw them was in Dublin almost 15 years ago.

Bad Manners is a fun ska band. The lead singer is Buster Bloodvessel. They’re big songs include My Girl Lollypop and Lip Up Fatty. I’ve learned that some bands do not weather well – but that’s not the case with Bad Manners. They were as good now as they were years ago. I wish I had my camera at the show – I think I was the only person who wasn’t taking pictures or videos.

I staked out room right in front of the stage. Patrick spent more time in the moshpit. We left hot and sweaty – but that was good because it was very windy outside.



Blackboxing by Ann Treacy

On Tuesday, Patrick and I went to the Project Arts Center to see any art exhibit – Blackboxing. It was a pretty modern exhibit – so I liked it and Patrick didn’t.

After the show we went to an Italian restaurant. It was good and not too expensive. One good sign was that we were one of the few tables in the place not speaking Italian.

After the show we stopped by the Porterhouse Pub where we ran into someone from Patrick’s class. So we had a fun time and a good Tuesday night.
