So there I was, Thursday night, facing into the St. Patricks Holiday weekend, three days with no plans. I figured I'd take it easy, sleep lots, eat crap food, maybe, just maybe go to the cinema. Then my phone buzzed and my plans changed immediately. It was a message from Cat Dowling, 'Would I like a pass to the St. Patricks Festival on Saturday night?' Obviously I replied YES! and then went to check out who was playing... The lineup on the Main Stage was: 18:30 Khakikid 19:20 Cat Dowling 20:15 Katie Kim 21:30 Pillow Queens As it turns out, there were a few other stages dotted around, but somehow I managed to totally miss them. I'm not exactly sure how I did that, but I think the lesson to be learned is to read the website correctly! So, how was the festival? Well, the venue itself, Collins Barracks, is excellent, and well served by public transport with the Luas stopping right outside. There were plenty of food and drink options, a decent amount of benches too.
