Woop woop!! Can I get a woop woop!!
That's exactly what I'll be saying tomorrow night in Schull, no less, at the Fastnet Film Festival.
For years, my darling Human Search Engine has doggedly accompanied me to gigs and live sets and open mics and generally pissing in a corner, loudly clapping with the other two people in the bar, when I'm so nervous I can't hold it in (that's pee I'm referring to) and being an all round topper.
So tomorrow we swap roles, as his fancy animation thingy is part of this short film festival in Cork. I shall be the one shoving him in front of Gerry Stembridge and extolling his many virtues, a veritable muse, while he could just sit back and sip Pimms or whatever it is that film people do, but that he won't, because he's just not like that. Damn.
It feels odd to be out of the limelight, such a weak and wavering beam that is, but my fragile ego will surely cope with it. Nay, I'm bloody delighted for him.
And did I mention that Jeremy Irons will be there too?
Did I??
Cue redfaced, drunken approaches and "I loved you in Brideshead Revisited".

Jeremy Irons is on the Late Late tonight, apparently. Either RTE has moved to West Cork or the man is an omnipresent deity.
Oh God. It worries me to think what I might do if I was ever to meet Jeremy Irons. Most likely I'd have to be forcibly removed after humping his leg.
Also, a friend of mine has a film showing at the festival, it's called Henry & Sunny, do check it out! Best of luck to the HSE!

How was the new motorway bit?
@Radge, Yes I found that out on the way down...Crushed, to say the least. Crushed.
@Kitty, thanks, I've seen that film in bewleys before, it's Great!! No clowns a loud :)
@Trevor, em thanks. I think.
@Holemaster, you mean instead of Abbeyleix? We still had to divert after Abbeyleix, so I don't think it was open. Or maybe we were on it. Motorways look all the same after 5 hours, or I was picking my nose.
Hang on, I went to see it in Bewley's too..it would seem we've almost met in real life Miss Gostrangely.
WEIRD!!! The HSE's short animation was on first...I was the one clapping really, really loudly and getting slightly tipsy at the end :)
Fancy that!
