Hello! After finishing out the week volunteering at Corrymeela, I was trying to decide what to do with my weekend when my friend Tom informed me of a Pearl Jam Tribute band playing in Belfast Friday evening. I'm not exactly the biggest Pearl Jam fan you'll ever meet, but the opportunity to get to Belfast for the night was one I decided to take advantage of. And I'm SO glad I did. Tom's friend goes to Queens University and let me, Tom, and Tom's friend Fergal stay at his place for the night. His flat was only about a ten minute walk from the show, so it worked out well. We stopped at Subway on the way to grab a sandwich, and it was only natural I ran into one of the students who was up with his class at Corrymeela this week for a session and that I worked with. You can't go ANYWHERE or meet anyone here without realizing you have mutual friends or that your brother in law's best friend's sister is actually your neighbor, or something. It's a little ridiculous.
Despite not liking Pearl Jam, the show was actually pretty good and I am excited to say I checked something off the list of things to do before I die....ready?
Yep..I definitely crowd surfed. Ha ha! So grand.
The combination of crowd surfing, the show, good company, free lodgings=brilliant evening. I've just arrived back in Ballycastle now, and I think I'm going to relax for the rest of the day/evening!
6 Nations Rugby match tonight!!! Go Ireland! :)
