“Water breaches the Clontarf prom near the Wooden Bridge, road unaffected at moment.”
Jerry Seinfeld was on WFAN’s “Boomer & Carton” show yesterday, above, and was asked about recent photographs of him and former Seinfeld co-star Jason Alexander walking past Tom’s Restaurant in New York – which was one of the show’s locations.
The sighting prompted rumours that they were either shooting a Super Bowl commercial or filming for Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee series.
Seinfeld said: “It’s neither. But it is not not those things, either. It’s a secret project.”
A game of 20, or so, questions with the Boomer & Carton hosts ensued, including the following:
B&C: “Was it filmed?”
Jerry Seinfeld: “Yes it was. It was filmed.”
B&C: “Were other Seinfeld characters involved?”
Seinfeld: “Yes there were.”
B&C: “Was it a short-form or a long-form filming?”
Seinfeld: “It’s a short-ish form.”
B&C: “Was Jason Alexander playing George or himself?”
Seinfeld: “George.”
B&C: “Was Larry David involved?”
Seinfeld: “He was involved.”
B&C: “Was he on camera?”
Seinfeld: “No.”
B&C: Was his voice heard?
Seinfeld: “No.”
B&C: When will we see this?
Seinfeld: “Very, very soon.”

Seoul based Archiworks’ glamorous eco-camping units come in two different nature-friendly, flexible, transportable flavours with names like sea, desert, creek, mountain, cave, forest, river and city: the ‘stacking doughnut’ (inspired by circular pebbles) and the extendable ‘modular flow’ unit – both featuring bespoke folding sofas and ‘art walls’ rendered by young Korean artists.

Finally.
Adjunct assistant professor in philosophy at Trinity College Dublin Tom McNally, above, has created illustrations inspired by the work of James Joyce over the past three years and wants to make a book out of them, called The Ondt and the Gracehoper.
The text of his book will be taken from Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, and his re-telling of Aesop’s fable of The Ant and the Grasshopper.
Tom is running a crowdfunding campaign on Fundit.ie for the book which he hopes will be published by Lilliput Press in time for the 110th anniversary of Bloomsday on June 16.
He sez:
:”‘Finnegans Wake’ is, by all accounts, one of the most difficult books you can encounter. The purpose of my illustrations is to offer people a unique entry-point into Joyce’s novel; to give them a greater sense of the kind of writing to be found in ‘Finnegan’s Wake’ – of the humour and brilliance of the language, once you move beyond its difficult surface.”

The Cork News reports:
An exhibition on Sir Henry’s is being compiled focusing on the legendary and iconic Cork city music venue. The project, to be exhibited at the Boole Library, University College Cork from July to September, will curate materials on Sir Henry’s distinctive history through both tangible and intangible sources, including material artefacts and oral histories.
The project by DJ Stevie G; Eileen Hogan, lecturer at the School of Applied Social Studies, UCC; and Martin O Connor of the Boole Library, UCC, is to illuminate, in a fun and accessible way, a sense of what Sir Henry’s was like and why it was significant to the people of Cork and beyond. In short, it will be about the venue’s emotional, aesthetic, musical, cultural, and historical value and legacy.
Anyone who would like to contribute any memorabilia from the club, such as posters, fliers, photographs or ticket stubs can email sirhenrys2014@gmail.com
