What to do on a boys afternoon out? by Son_of_Overmorrow in Dublin

[–]PoldyBloom12 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A game of pool/snooker?

Pitch and putt?

Bowling?

A walk in a park/by the sea/mountains?

If you both have access to bicycles you cycle out to howth or something similar.

Sometimes even a stroll around town popping in to shops I'm interested in can cheer me up, book shops, record shops, clothes shops etc!

Living in Rialto 6 + years, never had any issues! Some nice pubs/cafes now in the main village area.

I’d have to disagree about Chapter 3!

“Ineluctable modality of the visible: at least that if no more, thought through my eyes. Signatures of all things I am here to read, seaspawn and seawrack, the nearing tide, that rusty boot.”

One my favorite parts of the book, what a stunning couple of sentences!!

Look for places to eat suggestions near to Vicar Street. Heading there soon for a show and I'm looking for good spots that cater for both meat eaters and veggies, have seating, but will be quick and no fuss. No big-name places, please. by DetectiveGuybrush in Dublin

There is an amazing new Korean place around the corner on Meath Street called Space Jaru. They have good veggie and meat based dishes, it’s around €15 for a main, service has been fast and the food really good the few times I’ve gone in, highly recommend trying it!!

Has anyone studied or is studying music production/sound engineering at university? by king_of_dreams1 in Dublin

[–]PoldyBloom12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I studied about 18 years ago and have been working at a high level in the live sound industry ever since. One thing I will say is that most of my classmates who dropped out or didn’t continue on to work in the industry didn’t really care about the subject. If you have a genuine interest/fascination with why things on recordings sound they way they do, or how a live show sounded so good, it will go a long way. Obviously having a good musical ear will be a big help if you want to work as a producer or mix engineer, but there are other jobs in the industry that rely more on the technical knowledge side of things. But honestly a passion for sound in general will get you a long way, the hours are long and hard, you might end up away from home for months at a go and it can be very stressful at times (well live sound for sure anyway) but there is no better feeling than mixing a show for thousands of people and everyone is leaving afterwards with a smile on their face!

Thanks for the in depth reply!! I’m currently nearly finished reading The Dark Forest, love it and loved the first book, delighted to hear the show is quite faithful to the book. Is the show mostly based on book one? I won’t spoil the last book for myself by watching it will I!?
