Merchants Arch (source unknown, anyone?)
On Thursday, Anna Livia (or the eh…Floozie in the Jacuzzi) is finally getting a new home. She’ll be up by Croppies Acre, next to the National Museum at Collins’ Barracks.
At some stage I’m still meaning to drop into The Merchants Arch Bar. Mixed reports on the sounds and vibe (a bit oirish?) aside, the Fishermans Pie is getting rave reviews all over. Any reports?
I really want to have a proper rummage through The Rage on Fade Street’s supply of vinyl and CDs. It seems, from reading a few forums, The Rage is the retirement home for a lot of the Trout Records collection?
At some stage, I’ll have to actually buy a ticket for At Swim Two Birds in the Project.
On Friday, I’m selecting a few tunes for the Punky Reggae Party, with Sam of this very parish, but it’s also election day. I’ll be off looking for a new camera to get the best possible shot of Curran or Gogarty crying at the count centre the following day. Both in the one frame?
On Saturday, I’m deffo going to see what the hell is up with Crackbird. Free food, too good to be true?
This weekend also sees the Flea Market at the Co-Op. You might think it’s all jumpers, but it was there I found the Aiseirghi Newspaper featured on this here blog before. Always rummage….

Could you direct me towards your blog on the Aiseirghi newspaper. Can’t seem to find it. Thanks.

There ya go,d.
Thanks.
The photo is by Elinor Wiltshire and can be found in a book called ‘If ever you go to Dublin town’. I worked on an exhibition of her work in 1998 and catalogued the collection. If you check the National Library of Ireland’s website you’ll find more of her work digitised. All the best, Orla.

Orla, thanks! I just save all these great images into a huge folder on the PC, but love to get the names of the photograpgers and some more information.
Beautiful poster for the flea market!
