There may be tay key rings.

I know you dont normally do this, but I met Aoife Dooley yesterday and she has an exhibition and launch of her book ‘Life Tips And Other Bits’ and a sale [of prints, keyrrings, etc] in the Bernard Shaw [Richmond Street, Dublin] tomorrow at 6pm. A post would help a really amazing, funny and talented Dublin artist. I’m just attending, not organising…

A guide to the ‘controversial‘ tech summit
By pencil bearded illustrator Cathal Duane
He sez:
“This cover is a response to the Web Summit being held in Dublin on the 4-6 of November. I wanted create a visually quirky image that represents and combines aspects of both the conference and the city it is being held in. I create my work by headbutting a sketchbook until ideas fall out then I verbally abuse a computer until it does what I want.”
Fair enough.

A drill to check the National Isolation Unit’s ability to needlessly scare the public response to a possible Ebola infection case.
During the excercise streets around the Mater Hospital were cordoned off including Berkley Road, (above).

You may recall the Wall Buddy [the almost life-size GAA wall posters] competition yesterday?
We have a winner.
‘Fast Forward wins the prize of a free Wall Buddy for correctly identifying the GAA stars above and giving us reasons for their pin up status.
His entry.
From left: Caroline O’Hanlon, Armagh ladies captain who scored a penalty in their Ulster final victory over Monaghan, their first Ulster title in seven years; David Moran, who after returning from two ankle injuries and two years out of the game won his place back in the Kerry team mid-season this year before going on to win an All-Ireland Medal and an All-Star, an outstanding role model for determination and persistence, and finally Seamus Callanan, who despite being written off by the press as past his prime (he’s only 25) finished the year as top scorer in the Championship 9 goals and 50 points.
Thanks all.
