TriAthlone Winners
By Seán | July 18th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
As we’ve been talking so much about the triAthlone, it just wouldn’t be right not to tell you who won.
This, the second year of Athlone’s triathalon, saw MUCH better weather than last year (the rain was falling sideways, as I recall). We had more than 1,500 athletes who dived into the river Shannon to swim [...]

Drinking in the streets?
By Seán | July 12th, 2007 | Add a Comment »
I was just listening to the radio and, apparently, Tullamore has decided to rescind the ban on public drinking for their Phoenix Festival this weekend.
Hmm - should be an interesting social experiment. I can recall some excellent, inebriated outdoor activities back home - the Castro Halloween party in San Francisco with cans of beer being [...]

Saviors or scam artists?

Imagine that someone had defied the laws of physics and created a perpetual motion machine; a machine that created energy out of thin air. Moreover, they were prepared to unveil said machine to the world yesterday and allow anyone - from giant energy company to individual enthusiast - to create their own machine and thereby [...]

Rockin’ Athlone castle
By Seán | June 30th, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I just got back from a meeting with Bobby Hewitt, the organiser of the Athlone tri-fest - a weekend-long festival that encompasses a triathalon, concerts and loads of other festival madness.
But here’s the cool thing - the town council has agreed, for the first time ever, to allow a rock concert IN the castle.

Dublin riots, take 2?
By Seán | June 23rd, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Remember the riots in Dublin last year?
Well, the people who brought that particular flavour of parade fun intend to give it another go. Seriously, I don’t get it. I mean, from what I can tell, these Love Ulster folks are not about the love. They seem to be acting out of some seriously negative [...]
