1) I've a lot of thank-yous to make after the gig in Spiders two Friday's ago, firstly just to let you all know, we raised over €230 which means I'm about a fifth of the way to the target of €2,300 with all donations to date added up! :D
Now, I'd like to thank Spider's in New Ross and all the staff for letting me have the gig there, Eugene Rowe for his PA and for playing and Adam Lundy, Andy Gallagher, Leah Rossiter, Pauric Carney, Paul Gannon, Rob Carney, and Carmel Daly for playing aswell!
Special thanks to Pauric, Mark Hughes, Andy, Leah and Michelle McCormack for coming all the way from Dundalk! Love you guys so much!!
As for all the people I know that attended, thank you too! As far as I can remember, those people were Aoibhe McGahan, Daryl Brazil, Dave Whelan, Rory Jackman, Sean McComish, Niamh O'Leary, Caragh Walsh, Helen Ryan, Kara McBride, Symone Fenlon, Martin Murphy, Dani Wall, Jackie O'Connor, Paul Mooney, Eddy Molloy and Deimante Stankeviciut and there was a good few strangers there that I didn't know (or get to know as I was running around frantically) so big thanks to you too, and if I forgot anyone I'm so sorry :/
Raffle prizes were courtesy of Ghandi's Pub, Nolan's, Il Primo's Italian Restaurant, Belinda's Beauty Salon with some extra prizes added in by my mother, my sister Nicola and Gráinne Rafferty.
There's also been a few people who have since donated seeing as they couldn't make it to the gig (Thank you Thomas and Joe Van-Son, Niamh Hanrahan and Harry mcCarthy ;] ) and those people are also awesome ^_^
Aaaaaaaalrighty then. I THINK, that's all the thank-yous I need to get out there for now, sorry for the long list but there's a lot of deadly people out there that deserve thanks!
2) The fun is only just beginning >=]
The Twisted Pepper - Dublin.
Saturday 1st June.
7pm.
€8
Be there.
...please :)
So far I've two awesome bands lined up to play, FourDayWeekend and The Mariannes. More have yet to be confirmed but I guarantee there'll be a great mix in taste and style for everyone to enjoy and a big raffle too as usual. Who doesn't love an aul' raffle?
I know the gig starts early enough but I only have the venue until 10:30pm, after that anyone who arrives will be charged €15 into the venue's POGO club night they have every Saturday. However if you come before that you get to stick around after the gig at no extra cause and we can all party late into the night. Few shots, be grand. ;)
Check out the event page below, come along, and invite your friends :)

**I'm looking for people who'll help out on the door on the night, even if only for a while, you shall be rewarded!**
Also, this is only 10 days before my 20th birthday which I won't be doing anything for so I'll guilt you friends and family of mine that don't come :P
3) I'm bag packing in Super Valu in New Ross on the 30th & 31st of May, I'm looking for people to help out with that too for however long they can, you'll also be rewarded and I'll love you long time, so let me know if you can! :)
I think that's all for now! I'll be back with another update I'm sure, before the gig, I'm excited! :D

May I also just take a moment to say YAY! to the fact New Zealand have joined the 21st Century and legalized same sex marriage! Whoopa =D
