I have to start this story and review type thing from the very beginning of the night...
So mass confusion on where exactly Caoimhe lived on a few peoples behalf's... yours truly being one of the culprits. So its 10mins down the Kilcock rd in Maynooth... My hole it is... well we were strolling, but well deserved after carrying the 24 of Sol(a great beer for them long haul drinking sessions). So we end up on the left wondering what house was Caoimhe's turns out its a mansion bungalow...looks like hotel. All I can say is... SOUND SYSTEM YES!!! Well done, wifi hook up ceiling speakers in every room... the Party just got started. CHOONS a blaring. Bit Soljaboy dancing.
Taxi...NUIMSU Please. Done.
Arrive at said gig, just in the nick of time too for a shot and pint. The SU was fairly busy too... the pack a crowd, Go GOTA! Pints in hand meet and greets done... the band are ready to electrify! Crowd does go mental, I'll be honest I was on fire, like a child filled with skittles(but coffee) and let loose on a play zone. WILD.
The Gyspies were insane... the crowd loving everything the were pumping out. James has an extremely origional voice and is refreshingly fresh and perfect for the tunes they're playing. The MeldoyArtonians of every song are brilliantly choreographed and written well too. Lyrics are are poeticly class and sung with meaning. Rob was there belting out every song, and Dan giving everyone the oul Nod and Wink up on stage to all who said his name.. the lil divil. hahaha Ya legend!
I saw Gyspies on the Autobahn for the 1st time, to my recollection, last week the 1st of Feb at Ruby Sessions in Doyles. These lads can play brilliantly Electric of Acoustic... I'm talking wow factors all round. I say to my recollection as they have played on of my regular watering holes many a time Captain America's Blanch, Dublin 15, so I may have been inebriated when or if I say them before.
Still these lads are going places and I know they're a band to watch out for and one I'll be supporting, but not a groupy of like Rob Murray.
----------------------------------------------------------------
So The Night Continued....
After the gig we hit the main bar sing and dance to a few choons, chat to the band chill out for a few. Then its go time...
Try to get the crew to hit it up and go Mantra... we lost a few good Dudes and Dudettes that night, but found them in the morning, they know who they are. So Mantra it was... in the door 5seconds after paying and the fun begins(Rob you know!!!!). Pint of Bav €3, Done. So meet the gang in the smoking area, dancefloor.. Now I have no recollection of anything.. I recall Paddy Brennan. end of.
But on the 10th on the bus journey in to see Five Day Forecast, I found that I saved one of our little Dudettes, Kate Nolan, who almost became a lost sheep and a victim to Mantrasities in the toilets... (I am going to add fancy words to sound more hero like than I actually was but hey, my blog my rules) Kate calls out to Rob to save her.. Rob on a mission for pissin says he's busy. Then I am told I was the next inline to save her(probably rambling around lost) and I save Kate from the man who wanted her to party and dance with him in the Toilet... he doesn't know the Cougar.. she coulda been useful in this situation. Anyway back to not knowing where I was after been told I saved our Kate.(I am currently fb-ing Kate to see what I did)...
Katie Nolan: eh.. basically you didn't just laugh at me and ignore my cry for help (unlike some, pst Ro I think this is you!), i think i grabbed you and probably put you between me and yer man and he realised there was no point arguing.. i dunno it's all very hazy. you did prevent him from dragging me any further though.
So now my memory come back... Mizzoni Time.. 4 people, Wagon Wheel Mexican Biatch!!!! BOOM. No drinks we can handle it(stupid decision) after a while of Lisa not wanting to wear her heels anymore, I give her my Vans, and I put on her heels, wow this happened as we left Mantra, then pizza was ordered. So we get the pizza after alot of messing in heels(my calfs hurt the next day) and Army operative task force the pizza to the taxi, Back to Riordan Apts.
Ate the Pizza outside of course in the porch type area, as we waited for the household owners to arrive. Game of Twister is called upon, chilling and chatting follows, Chris passes out in Jimbambinos bed. FUCK... where did the RAs come from.... ah bollix!
So I throw Jabs in the cupboard, but the RAs left, and then I believe it was Marie(her room, tiny room), Ronan, Rob, Lisa, Jabs in one room. So too cramped I left joined the K.O. Crew Chris and Jimbambino in her room. Night
Wake Up. Miss Train. Late For Work. Great Night.
Gypsies on the Autobahn a must see.
