Didn’t make it out to the canal for a few beers last night? That makes two of us.  Looks like half the city of Dublin descended upon the popular watering hole last night for a warm spring evening of cheap cans and laughing at that one lad who brought a guitar.

Dublin is home to two of the finest stadiums in the world and it’s only right that it gets to universal praise for that.
