Last night brought me to the Jay Z concert. Well, more specifically, it brought me to the Horse Show Bar (if I remember correctly) in Ballsbridge, to meet a bunch of people who I have never met before (with one exception).
As some of you may know, I (along with the mysterious Someone Living) was plucked from a hat by the legendary 2FM DJ, Rick O'Shea, to go to the Jay Z concert in the RDS. Unfortunately, SL didn't show, but I did get to meet some other brilliant people - the adorable Annie, the oddly hilarious Pedro, the wonderful Raptureponies and the guy-I-already-see-far-too-much-of Andy. It was also an absolute pleasure to meet Mr Rick and his friend B, who I had some great chats with as the night unfolded.
It was unfortunate that SL couldn't make it and at one stage, as Shan will attest to, I was getting quite worried and sent search-party text messages, but I was assured he was fine. I look forward to meeting him next Friday (if he shows).
The concert itself was a big surprise for me - I loved it. Jay Z puts on an incredible show and I was well impressed. We danced the night away (and Pedro seemed to know most of the words, which was weird). Rick talks about some of the highlights here and Andy has his round up over on ChancingMyArm (his recollection of the night differs slightly from mine).
Sadly, my camera's battery died a death and the only photo I could salvage was or RP's feet...but what nice feet they are.
