May 29th, 2010- The Fool's went into the city centre in search of a print shop in order to print fliers and posters for their performances in Ballyfermot. After several stops we found a fine little shop and printed our little hearts out. Interesting note, paper in the Ireland is just slightly larger than in the US.
Ann, Rita and Austin went back in town to meet with the improv group to discuss our Sunday night set. Our first official performance in Ireland. We will be performing a one and half hour set with a local group. Woohoo!
Laura, Lou and Rita get fish and chips from the place that Austin ate the night before. Pretty good, nothing to write home about. Or blog about. Yeah.
There is this phenomenon in Europe that happens every year. It's called Eurovision. European countries compete in song and dance to be the best European performer. Some are good, some are very, well, European. Germany swept it, though no one was certain why. Anyhow, Lou, Laura and Rita were later joined by Austin, watched the final show at Fowler's Grange Pub. Then they danced and sang along with the local band that played a lot of American music, reggae and classic brit rock (see Pink Floyd and Dire Straits). The locals didn't let us leave until we had several more pints, bought us a round and were impressed to see "yanks" at the local pub.They drink Coors Light like its going out of style, and pay more for it than they should. Amazing, sweet and generous are the people of Ballyfermot. They even offered us a place to stay and asked us to come back next year.
