dorm_1Do you own a hostel/guest house in Dublin?

Andrew Graham writes

Is there something on in Dublin this weekend that us culchies down in Limerick wouldn’t know about? We’re going to a concert Saturday night [Julio Bashmore at the Button Factory, Temple Bar]and can’t find a bed anywhere. There’s no rooms in any hostels.Anywhere wants a minimum stay of 4 nights. There is 4 of us, potentially 5! €25-€30 each. Preferably with 4 of us in a room together cos we don’t want to cause any disruption coming in after it at 4am-ish. Any idea of where to go? I’ve tried all the usual websites

 

Anyone?

Given the huge number of negative Garda stories (usually based on ill-informed innuendo and unashamedly pushing a certain agenda) you are more than happy to post a ‘Meanwhile, in Clondalkin’ post about the two unarmed Gardai who just foiled a cash-in-transit robbery? In the interests of fair and impartial journalism…Anyone?

Yet another depopulated timelapse inspired by Ross Ching’s Empty America series – this time with an added twist.

Using a full spectrum camera with a yellow filter, Bruce Wayne Berry Jr took to the streets of Philadelphia, recording the scenes in infrared.
