HELLO SLIGO!!

Greetings my friends! I am in Sligo.
I drove here yesterday from Limerick - yes Limerick 3 and half hours of a drive - Yawn factor 2,000. On the upside, come Monday i am officially back in Dublin for the foreseeable future. Thank goodness, i was going a little stir crazy in the Clarion. I had even begun to name the hotel staff (I'm too lazy to ask for their actual names). I'm gonna miss Lurch, Dave and Julian.

Speaking of stir crazy, thanks to Kargus/Aengryn for the idea to do this. I did graze my knee on the third take, but I'm over that now.

The original idea, was to do takes in different hotel rooms, but it looks like my business traveling life is over for now, so this will have to do :)




Moving back to the present.
Have you ever noticed how places in Sligo sound very poetic or onomatopoeic? (That the biggest word I've used in a while)
For example:

How bout Dooney Rock. Doooooney Rrrock!
Slish wood - SLIIIIISSSSSSSSSSH wood.

ok i cant think of others right now.

Anyhow, I'm going to Leonard Cohen tonight, it's out in an old estate house called Lisadell. Yay for the elderly!

see ya
A.
