Friday night...

So last night I want to go out and do something for the night and I see that this metal concert is going on at a club near my apartment. The band is called 3 Inches of Blood, and from their website they look like a cheesy 80's metal band similar to Iron Maiden or something. So I drink a couple Guiness (it is St. Patrick's Day weekend afterall) and head to the club to see if they're any good. After suffering through 2 terrible opening bands, who in Ireland are apparently allowed to play full hour sets, the main band finally hits the stage at around 11:45 or so. Within 3 songs, I decide that this band is equally as terrible as the opening bands and end up leaving the place right then. Apparently the club has different types of music almost every night of the week though, so maybe I'll head back when a lame metal band is not playing and see if the scene is any better.

This afternoon is the Cork City St. Patrick's Day parade, which runs really close to my apartment. Also, the weather looks pretty nice for once, so maybe after the parade, I'll take a trip down to Kinsale or something to get some pictures before returning to see what St. Patrick's Day night is all about in Cork, Ireland.
