A wondrous day of leisurely pursuits today, starting with a number of pints in the recently re-opened Cassidy's in O'Connell Bridge - a hostelry that comes under the category of "proper boozer". There in accompaniment were Conch-Shell, JD and Danny Son Of Hoon, and an Oscar-nominee quiz courtesy of Wikipedia provided the entertainment.
From there, a taxi to the RDS where Leinster were playing Connaught - walking in, we met the isolated forlorn figure of presidential candidate Gay Mitchell who decided to look the other way rather than greet us, even though no-one else was around. Tool.
The rugby game was highly entertaining, with Leinster overcoming a half-time loss to win comfortably. We then headed back to Conch-Shell's apartment in Bloodbank House for a Vacating Party, for indeed he is being evicted from there soon. Before the B-Listers arrived, we enjoyed some cannery and also witnessed Brendan Dolan's 9-darter at the World Grand Prix - the first double-start 9-darter ever seen on live TV!
The guest list for the Eviction Party was gigantic, judging by the number of attendees, which packed out the reception, kitchen and hall chambers, leading me to the discovery that I am quite claustrophobic, for their is no other reason that I would leave a party at 1.20am!
