I have the perfect excuse to buy a pair of rain boots. Now watch I will pack them and there will be absolutely no reason to wear them.

All Rain Boots : Women's Shoes : Shoes : Target

We're getting in on the 23rd - we should plan to meet up somewhere. Is it feasible to get together at the Kitchen - it's the nightclub in the basement of the Clarence Hotel (hotel owned by Bono/the Edge)?

I'm an ER doc and my buddy is a cardiologist. We both got a week off and were planning on seeing U2 then getting to London for Michael Jackson. Obviously that won't happen now so we decided to extend our stay in Dublin and will now be seeing them the 24th and 25th!

 

[lauramullen]

^ Cool. Another Interferencer to celebrate my birthday

 

[Carek1230]

Wow. you guys should have your own little birthday section!!

Afraid not, the kitchen closed down quite a while ago.

 

[lauramullen]

^ THat is what I thought

I just ordered the Blackberry-they had a great deal and it works over there

 

[Carek1230]

I thought long and hard about getting a Blackberry but decided instead to upgrade my service and will wiat until I get Christmas money and get an Apple iPhone 3G. I've read that some people like the Blackberry better than the iPhone.

according to at&t site it's a quad band phone, so it should work.

 

[one4u2]

The 8310 great deal thru at&t as an upgrade just hope I can get used to it! I have a thing about talking into a phone without a flip

Also just another tip..while researching adapters and converters for my hairdryer you can just buy for the price of a regular blowdryer, one that is dual voltage and just buy the plug and it works worldwide!

[lauramullen]

I have never heard of that. Oh well, I already bought the adapter anyway

 

[one4u2]

Yes I just got back from Ulta and got a dual voltage travel hairdryer..$15!

 

[lauramullen]

^ That is cheap. I know if I go to Ulta, I will wind up buying a million other things while I'm there.

 

[one4u2]

^ That was just for the hairdryer

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

the power of Ulta. It sucks you in.

 

[one4u2]

It really does Im a product junkie

 

[one4u2]

woooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooo!!! can't wait to chat with ya on it...

Have to start making our plans already

 

[lauramullen]

I better just keep what I have and not go there

What do y'all think of meeting up at Temple Bar? Supposed to be a huge bar - night of the 23rd?

 

[cathalmc]

Temple Bar is a small area just on the south side of the Liffey near O'Connell bridge. It has many bars but is a bit of a tourist mecca with gazillions of plastic Paddy pubs. But then we are all tourists

Be prepared to pay €6 for a pint ...

EDIT: Or is there a bar in Temple Bar called Temple Bar ...?

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Temple Bar Cultural Trust - Supporting Culture in Temple Bar

Pubs: Someone pick a pub, PLEASE!
Temple Bar Pubs and Nightlife � Pubs, Clubs, live music, Entertainment

I am going to go to Ulta tomorrow and check out this hairdryer. There should be a coupon in the newspapers tomorrow for them and if there is, I will pick it up.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

yep!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

i'm having a major issue trying to figure out what shoes to where for walking, the shows etc.. I am short and need a little heel of some kind... halp ladies! Not a huge fan of sneakers with capris.

 

[Carek1230]

some kind of a wedge sole might work? That's comfort and support all in one and they come in numerous heights (the wedge). A slip on might be real comfy too. I'm only bringing a pair of Converse hi tops and slip on rubber clogs (I can wear those with capris, skirt or jeans)

I did practice packing today and am happy to say I shocked myself. I CAN do this packing for 5 days with just a carry on!

Im having the same dilemma.. I wont do the snaeker capri look either so Im just going to bring a steve madden flip flop that is not a heel but not a flat and the other days Ill just suffer lol Im bringing wedges for night

 

[Carek1230]

Another fan of the wedge! I think they look good with any kind of clothing....skirts, dresses, shorts, culottes, capris, pants and for dress or casual.
