Man, I sincerely feel your pain on this one. I’m from down west myself working up in dublin and heard nothing about it until the next day, tiny article in the free newspaper which they pass out up here. No internet at work but i suspect it’d have done me no good to try and get a ticket for it anyway because the tickets for that were obviously put one side for the wealthy and famous…just wait for the pics in the papers of the premiere and we’ll see if i’m right… Naturally i checked the site once i got home and of course …sold out. I, like you, had no idea any such event was coming up run by the Jameson crowd seeing as the festival is on in Feb/March…
Its for the press, the rich and i hope the one or two ‘normal’ people who managed to weasel out a ticket from somewhere. You never know though…he might not be able to make it in the end…although he likes the country and has been here loads on the piss so i’d imagine he’ll show up.
Wish i was going. What i’m hoping for is that the IFI will show the original cut of Grindhouse during the Halloween Horror Fest…it’d be something at least…
