You got that right, Sheri! Let him be a grump in his OWN bed!
Next year I absolutely insist you do this trip with me, Sheri. You would have been so at home with my late night antics and all the locals!! A couple times I actually thought of you and knew you'd be having a blast. The one thing I would have done if you were here tho is see the Crystal Method and Basement Jaxx, who were playing on Friday night and Saturday!!
But in any case, it would have been cool to have one more cool rock chica there to pub hop with! You would have really gotten a kick out of the guys I met. Like this Eric guy from Wales, who had a tattoo of the red Welsh dragon on his arm. He was following me around all night from pub to pub telling me all about Wales, trying to get me to take off my green hat(!!!). Or one of the many Seamus-es I met. Or this guy Jimmy whose number I still have programmed in my phone somehow, who got me up to Irish dance with him, even tho I'd forgotten the steps. I just did what he did, with a second time delay.
I did teach my friend John from Liverpool how to do absinthe shots with sugar, a spoon and fire on one night after Natalie and I toured the Guinness factory at a fast-run type pace. Ask her when she gets back about that night.. she said absinthe had killed her the weekend before, and she'd been doing the shots all wrong compared to what we were doing.
Ah, the memories. They come flooding back, through the haze.
