While hanging out in Dublin I made sure before I skipped town again that I’d drop by the new design studio of my former LCC classmates and see what’s percolating with the Irish trifecta of Diarmuid, Dave and Jamie.

What a stressful day, but in the end I did have some things to be cheerful about like visiting the famous Powerscourt near Bray, or “Bray-jieng” as some of the locals refer to it as.

Dave did a bang-up job of getting me lost trying to find Jamie’s flat, in the rain no less, but at least I got to eat at Elephant & Castle’s to ease the pain of that debacle.

Recently elected mayor of London Boris Johnson will issue a ban on public drinking on the Tube and other TfL transport services starting today at midnight today, so last night a bunch of booze-savvy protesters took the opportunity to ride the tube intelligently inebriated one last time in which I participated and observed with my buddy Matt.
