Hey, if a cute girl bought me drinks all night, I'd like it too! But I can't believe that's the highlight of your trip. Did you see any music live? Hear any poetry readings? Anything fun?
We went to Ireland a million years ago, and someone handed us a poetry book by Paul Durcan before we left. In the middle of our trip, we were in a little town during its arts festival. I think we missed U2 by a hair, but it so happened that Paul Durcan was reading, so we went. Afterward, we met up with these funky teenagers who played acoustic guitar in a little club, and we hung out and sang songs in their loft until the wee hours. It is a fond memory, even though I can no longer hold my own into the long hours (like 11), so the wee hours don't exist for me anymore.
I have some Diane Arbus books. I could have guessed it was her. She frightens me, too.
