No Irish blood in me.

However, I am in Dublin, and shall be here till Thursday.

I can report the black stuff is still as good a taste, and yes it does colour the other end still. Stew still contains pearl barley and white pudding comes with hotel breakfast, just as it did when I worked here, many moons ago.

If anyone is also here, I have the privilege of playing a short set on Wednesday night at the tourist trap home of music, Oliver St John Gogarty in Templebar. See you there, (I can't do anything Irish though, as they don't have a car park for me to dig a hole in...)

Oh Jaysus, I hope Michael didn't read that last bit....

Beer, music and good grub at Johnny Fox's tonight. (I found a tribute bar to Johnny Fox's in Vancouver a few years ago!)
