What better way to kick off the Post Xmas postings than with a post on Mod Fest, which is without a doubt going to be one of the most anticipated events of 2011. Jointly organised by Sean Fletcher and Modern Media, the two nights of cracking music is a steal for €49.50.
I’ve previously written a piece about the history of the Mod scene in Dublin, you can read it here.

Damien Dempsey- O Holy Night.
Merry Christmas to you all and thank you for the support over the course of our first year online. We wish you and yours the best for the new year.
On this note, I’m off for a few days. There’s work to do.

Here are the 2011 League of Ireland fixtures, just published today.
The first week will see two Dublin sides away outside the capital (the Saints in Galway and Bohs in Bray), Rovers at home to Dundalk and a Dublin derby (pfft!) between Sporting Fingal and the Belfielders.
Excellent. Get the calendar out.

The Warehouse Collective will be throwing their third, and most likely best, warehouse party this New Years Eve.
It’s definitely not one to be missed.
The first one was quite an experience. There’s something altogether exciting about getting a bus at 2am from the quays to a yet undisclosed location somewhere in the city. A smug feeling goes with it, knowing that your joining the party at the same time bouncers are throwing people out in the clubs around the city. Thanks be to god Dubliners now have options to party hard and late.
Hardliners may turn their noses up but until people start ‘letting themselves into’ empty buildings, we should be pretty grateful that people are putting the time and effort into organising these kind of warehouse parties.
Facebook event here. You can buy tickets here.

I’ve been hearing lots of horror stories over the last week.
One of my friend’s Fiona had a dreadful 53 hour trip from Paris. My brother just managed to get back over to London today.
But there’s also been lots of tearful reunions at Dublin Airport. Also some hilarious moments. One of which was caught on camera. Check out this TV3 report:

Don’t ask. I’m still not sure if these are Bohs fans on a sabotage mission or what the craic is with this…..

Firstly, this group can’t get home. They also like The Jam. Not very good, but innovative, and we’re big fans of Weller and the boys at CHTM!.
some people might like to get a flight towards home,
or not spend the christmas days alone,
some guys like to travel in by bus
but I can’t be bothered with the fuss
Video two:
WOW. Look at this.
Video three:

Unlike the two above, this isn’t uploaded in the last few hours. Incredible footage from Liam Fay of Tallaght under snow in 1985. Jesus, look at the buses. Still on the road and all.

This city, as beautiful as she is normally, looks even better when its snowing. Once I’m safe watching it from my living room window with a cup of scalding hot tea that is.
Snow to the right of me
Snow to the left of me
Who could forget our boys who brave all weather to deliver their precious cargo
Chilled melon for afters anyone?

ADW- 'The Blues Brothers'.
What a year it has been.
When we marked our one year anniversary, back in November, I commented that “It’s been an infuriating few months. Dublin, in some ways, has taken a serious fall from grace.”
An infuriating few months indeed. Since November, things have gone from bad to dismal one could say. 2010 won’t make a particularly good episode of Reeling In The Years, but it did still present a few memorable moments (for the right reasons).
Firstly, this. That fall took place on January 8 2010, with Ireland (and more importantly Dublin) grabbing one of the first internet virals of the year.
There were a few bizarre stories, not least during the summer when a penguin was removed from Dublin Zoo. The July robbery produced my favourite line of the year from The Irish Times:
In what was a rare case of reality mimicking advertising, gardaí picked up a penguin yesterday after a feather-brained trio stole the bird from Dublin Zoo.
If every year is remembered by a defining image, what will mark the front of the 2010 folder? Fairly obvious I’d think. I’d propose Louise Minihan for Dubliner of the year on the back of that one.
Despite not having a clue about the X Factor or any of that lark, it was genuinely excellent to see Ballyfermot mother Mary Byrne do so well on the UK talent show. My childhood memories of Ballyfermot involve kerbs painted green, white and orange for Jackies Army, and Mary’s homecoming was nothing if not spectacular.
