What Do You Mean You Weren’t Invited?

Children were minded.

Minds were chilled.

So, this is the now annual Synge Street street feast in Dublin 8. As usual, it went on well into the night without issue. All thanks to Sharon Greene of “Queens of Neon” fame, not to mention Elaine McGrath, Lex Woo and Dermot of “Mr. Whippy Sound System” fame, as well as several Synge Street residents who each year provide food.

Hell is other people.

We had ours a few weeks ago and it was much better attended and there were no self obsessed posers at it. It was about the community, not the individuals.

Aaaand, we’re off!

Hey our street is waaaaaay better than his street. We, like, keep attendance records and police the posers.

T**t

That’s you Mrs Bucket isn’t it?

You drunkenly arguing with your missus over who deserves the arse end of a bottle of Buckfast does not constitute a ‘street party’

Now now supercrazy. An open prison is hardly a ‘community’ in the normal sense

An apartment lift doesn’t count.

Cause it’s summa and he’s at a thing and he’ll be just like, I’m chillin on my neighbours steps which are our steps in this hood and I’m drinking a bottle of fermented ditch water fresh from my friends new craft beer cabin which is in a lane in D8 that most losers think is a ghetto but it’s actually an epic new hang out #lovindublin

FedoraGuy is part of the StreetFest pack one receives when signing up. When you’re finished, you simply fold up FedoraGuy into the hat and post back to the Corpo..

It reminds me of that awful Orchard Thieves advert.

Custo July 13, 2015 at 10:12 am

I’d rather sit in a bath of cold piss than subject myself to that.

Mani July 13, 2015 at 10:24 am

Unfamiliar as we are with your bathing habits, this may not be much of a hardship.

Good news for the residents of Singe street so….

Jessica Carroll July 13, 2015 at 10:28 am

Did someone forget to bring chairs? How typically Irish. The poseurs pile on not giving a poo about the practicalities of a street party.

+1 Oisín, well done to you all.

follow me, silently July 13, 2015 at 10:38 am

The middle class lefty whitests gather. Diversity, woohoo.

Annie July 13, 2015 at 12:02 pm

10/10 for the most unexpected, searingly original and insightful comment.

Spaghetti Hoop July 13, 2015 at 12:08 pm

A party without issue……are we supposed to congratulate this?

Caroline July 13, 2015 at 12:15 pm

The original post is self-congratulatory enough. Our task is to point this out in as snide and aggressive a manner as possible, then turn on each other. Ain’t no party like a Broadsheet hate-read party!
