And Rosie's Peelin' Off Her Silk Stockings


Remember the time Andrew met Crystal Swing? We had such a good weekend at the FlatLake Festival last year that I never even got around to telling you about it. This year's lineup is KILLING ME. John Banville. Kevin Barry. Robert Fisk. Paul Murray. Little John Nee. Jinx Lennon. The Sons of Robert Mitchum. Ha'penny Mariachi. Paula Flynn. Crazy Dave's Juke Box. Read the full lineup here. I can't look at it anymore. It gives me a pain in my tummy because I can't go.

I have to go to a wedding next weekend. Well, I don't have to go, but I've been invited, and I love them, and it would be rude not to, etc, etc. I have two weekend camping tickets for FlatLake, and for the good of your souls I'd like to pass them on to one of you. Whoever promises me they'll enjoy it the most. Make big bould promises in the comments, or email me (click the little "write me" up there in the sidebar) and I'll gift you two free passes to the best weekend you'll ever have in Monaghan.

Or possibly anywhere. Ever.

That's one mightily misleading post title. Even I was popping round for a bit of a perv.

I can't make it either, but I just wanted to say that that is a Good, Generous Thing you are doing.

Dear Rosie,
I read your blog but never comment, so I feel rather cheeky asking you for those passes! We had planned to go to the flat lake this year but were too flat broke to buy tickets - we had a baby a while back and I've just been let go from work, so it has been a long-ish tough-ish year... please consider us!
Eily
PS the cleopatra pic that annie atkins took of you is only fabalas....

Rosie said...

they're yours, Eilis, for the flattery alone. email me and i'll send them on to you. i'm delighted that they'll go to someone who'll really enjoy it.

Dammit i made no promises. I promise to have a bloody brilliant time, and to carry a large printout of that lovely photo i mentioned and pin it to my tent. I promise to photograph that and email it to you afterwards!

Aw that is beautiful... they couldn't have gone to a better person.

Rosie said...

especially if she tacks photos to the outside of her tent and takes pictures... she'll fit right in. oxegen it ain't! i'm sorry we'll miss it this year, Anniekins, but we'll take the place by storm next year.
