Dublin ILXors - MOZ FAP?

I'm not decent Dublin folk, but I will be in Dublin for the Morrissey shows! I suggested another FAP for the occasion to the DV, but I got his out-of-orifice reply : (

I had a wonderful time meeting you Dubliner's last year around the same time. I'd love to do it again!

Anyone else going to Killarney? Of course, I'll be there, too. I'm starting the Moz tour in Amsterdam (nearly the same itinerary in the same sequence as I did last year following the Smurfs conferences in Manchester).

dude, that's what happens when you mail my work address.

I have cleverly failed to acquire tix for the Morrissey gig.

As for tickets, although I'm sorted for Saturday night, I lack a ticket for Sunday night.

Does lack of a ticket prevent you from attending a FAP, DV? How difficult is it to get a ticket to a sold-out Moz show in Dublin?

I suppose Killarney is out of the question, the show happening on a schoolnight and all. There are loads of tickets left for that one.

you should magically know the correct e-mail address to use!

I reckon you would be able to buy tickets from touts, but I don't know how much they would charge you. I could probably go to a FAP.

I am not untempted by this... Killarney is a fun place and I know people going.

All Dublin ILXor's (especially DV) let's FAP then! I'll leave it to the Dubliners to decide which night(s) (I can have both?) and where -- I liked the upstairs room from the last time.

I'm going to stay at the Lake Hotel. There are some amazing deals on laterooms.com. Killarney is one place where I can easily afford a luxurious hotel. The rest of the time I will be couch surfing or staying in yoof hostels.

I think the Gleneagle INEC offers a b&b plus ticket to Mozzer's show combo. I think the price is meh.

Some people are giving away their Killarney tickets because they cannot attend at the last minute. Check out the marketplace board on morrissey-solo.com.

How would we get to Killarney though? It's not a school night btw as the Friday is a bank holiday (Good Friday for Catholics and everyone else in Ireland :-()

I should have known that the Catholics get Good Friday off! Yay! Go on, you know you want to go to Killarney!

You could take the Eirann coach to Killarney from Dublin. I think a return trip is 24 Euros; one way is 19 Euros. Or flights are reasonably priced. I'll be flying in from London to Cork, then a coach to Killarney, and so my options are much more limited.

I'm with a friend who is currently unemployed and temping, so we're doing the budget thing. I'm employed, but I'm still trying to do things as cheaply as possible in reasonable middle-aged comfort.

Killarney is about 4.5-5 hrs on a bus or you could fly from Farrenfore to Dublin but flights are scarce due to it being a holiday weekend.

Will you be going to the concert, AF? I love this small yet ardent pocket of Hibernian Ilx Moz boosters.

I don't think it's like an elite Cadre, he's still popular enough to put on gigs in the Point, so that's something.

the train is the best way to go to Killarney.

I am not untempted, registering now that Friday is not a work day, but I am too flubbly to commit to this.

Concert in Killarney was amazing! Very passionate and Oirish. Mozzer did an Oirish jig during the prelude to Trouble Wuvs Me.

Did no one else go to Killarney?

I had a great time in Dublin despite my illness. I caught a nasty cold. It was probably from Aer Fungus.

We'll have to try this fap thing again. I can't go to Morley Park, but you should try to see Mozzer!

Hate to say it, but Killarney was the best gig. Moz was much more animated and in touch with his Orishness there than in Dublin, oddly enough.

The second night was better than the first night in Dublin because the sound was much improved, and this time Mozzer could be arsed to gladhand the people in the front. Too bad I had upper circle seats on the second night! But at least I only paid face value to a fan who couldn't go at the last minute, not a filthy tout.

I was too sick to hang out either night anyway. I tried to go to the afterparty at the Oak to say hello to Martin of Sack (the dj for that night), but it was so crowded that 10 feet past the door, I turned around and got the hell out.

I cannot talk at all now. I lost my voice on Sunday.

Interesting sight, the parades commemorating Easter 1916. There was this French fan who had been queuing since 7:30. He sat on the pavement in front of the Olympia grousing, "I don't understand why all these people are out here just to see their army." Well, Guillaume, they don't understand why you're out here just to see Morrissey either. BTW, the Frenchie hated being the military.
