AND, WHILE I'M SHOUTING, DON'T FORGET THE LAUNCH!! DETAILS BELLOWED BELOW...
Yes, folks, the earth used be flat then roundness was discovered,people used to walk miles to the next village to buy things, then Aston Martins were invented. Cyanide , lead and dog poo were used to clean teeth, then toothpaste was invented, people used to read boring poetry then THE POETRY BUS MAGAZINE was invented.
And to mark this huge leap forward for mankind we are having an entertainment EXTRAVAGANZA in The International Bar Wicklow Street Dublin Eiré and EVERYBODY is invited, so get yer coat, get walking, hop on a bicycle, a bus, a boat, a plane, a kangaroo, JUST GET THERE! Monday 8th November 8pm.

Sounds like a great night out Peadar. Have a Guinness for me.
You know I'll be a-watchin' from Connecticut. Can't wait! : )
Oh, my! You can't know how badly I want to be there. Just show up and start reading in my Appalachian American accent that you'd never be able to understand! I want to....

Thanks Jeanne, we'll give ye a shout!
GET ON THE PLANE Karen!! :)
I'd give my left arm to be there - if I hadn't already given it away for a lollipop. It'll be a great night for sure.
You are KILLING ME! Unfair. So unfair. (I'm seriously considering something drastic to get over there. You know I have a big birthday coming up next year...)
