Dublin: Whelan’s. “It aint easy being green”
Dublin: Whelan’s. 2nd to last stop…..
It’s a classic gig. The walls are covered in memory’s and there’s an actual fire burning in the front room…. and all the women love the poets, and the sound-man is a dead ringer for Anthony Michael Hall, and it’s unseated. Tonight is a real stand up crowd.
All together great.
You might remember Whelan’s from PS I LOVE YOU. This is where they filmed the Irish pub sing along scenes.
Geez, PS I LOVE YOU. Talk about the mother of all chick flicks. Then again, the “No Other Love” montage was something else, wasn’t it?
If you thought it was hopeless, I won’t argue.
Check out the poster for the gig (see photo). Is that Dan “fucking” Stuart? Let’s face it, after a few Guinness’s it’s easy to mistake Dan Stuart for Chuck Prophet, right? A common mistake.
Next stop: Belfast and then home just in time for St. Paddy’s day.
