Green House – New Club in Limerick

Green House – New Club in Limerick

And about time…..

Last night I ended up in the Green House, adjacent to The Bank on O’Connell Street. It opened a week ago and for those who have not been yet, get your skates on!

If you ever went to Soul Clinics or The Wicked Chicken, you’ll be wanting to go here! Some nice chilled out music mixed with some upbeat music add some soft candles cosy couches and loads of space and you have a new place to hang out!

At only €8 in, it’s well worth it for an enjoyable night, with loads of space to bop around to the music! Have a quiet drink and get cosy :) Hopefully see more people there!

So I stumbled upon pix photo album site. Had a bit of a look around and signed up so you can see some of my pictures here. Firstly I must say signing up was a large PITA! I know some forms let you away with minimal information but this form required all details but didn’t say that they were compulsory. Nowadays forms have “Enter the text you see in the image” unfortunately I found the text very unclear and only after a failed attempt did it look clearer.

Finally logged in and you see this

But I shall have a gander around and see what it’s like, nice to see an alternative to yahoo flicker.

So the problem should be resolved now

Skynet Adwards

So back in April Skynet won  Best Society of the year award within Clubs and Socs. Which was great! All the work that was put in by so many people and for people to finally sit up and see a computer society win this award within UL, was a great feeling.

Skynet also runs its own internal award system set up by Grainne Daly/Wrinkles for Admins and a Skynet Person of the year award set up by Daniel Nagle/Sith. The awards are designed so that the members nominate a short list is arrived at and put to the members to vote upon.  So it seems this year I won the Skynet Person of the year award, 2nd time for me :)   Yay :)   Kinda nice to know people actually liked the stuff I did. Even if it did involved large chunks of my sanity being lost when having to deal with Anal retentive cunts on legs! Sometimes dealing with some people it’s more than one can handle to bite ones tongue and not want to take a swing at them, but I did in fact.

I should point out before I came to college and while I was in college I organised promotions all over Munster.(Hired politely let go of staff who had no manner of time keeping or able to take direction for events) There were different types of promotions Drinks, alcoholic (yay) non alcoholic, sweets, gadgets, large company info days like for Dell or Eircom in  Limerick.

So I do have a fair bit of experience in running large scale events, which did stand to me when running SkyCon. Unfortunately little anal cunts don’t always see it that way.

Saying that, I’ve left the running of Skynet now to others. Which is weird but good at the same time. I’m looking at the stuff that is being done and it’s different. While different is good. I hope it works out well as so far it has even if some things were done that really shouldn’t have been. I’ve told Daniel and Olivia, the new President and Treasurer that I’m but a pm away for questions and answers, and to make use of that. I did help them do the budget and I think from what they learned that weekend I should be getting a few more questions in future. Which I’m really glad to get.
