Tune up and warm up for the parade under strict direction.

Preparing for the Dublin parade at Parnell Square. Little bit different this year; Instead of shooting the parade, we got to shoot the before scene.
Toward the end of the festivities, the car clubs got their five minutes of fame. This time in the form of some very well restored VW beetles. Well, and one not so well restored, but I\’m sure that was a work in progress.
The first (or second, I can\’t quite remember but I\’m sure someone will correct me) band to roll out at the start of the parade. The first (or second) of many, many brass bands and musical acts that drifted by over the course of the two and a bit hours. People near me were heard to comment that \”it\’s a shame there wasn\’t a band finshing up the parade\”. It did end rather abrubtly. All that was missing was someone coming out screaming \”show\’s over folks! You don\’t have to go home but you can\’t stay here!\”
Notes written by a great man for a great day. Half man, half legend; Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh calling the paddys day parade from up on high. G\’wan ya good thing!
A quick one from yesterday\’s St. Patrick\’s day parade in Dublin. Great parade, squeezed myself into a good location to view it, got within 5 feet of the amazing Nancy Cartwright (that\’s Bart Simpson to those not in the know) and got a few hundred photos to add to the pix.ie group to boot! Then spent much of the rest of the evening drinking free Guinness and eating free food courtesy, once again, of pix.ie (and Canon Ireland and the Guinness Storehouse of course). Not a bad way to spend a day.
