Tonight we broke with tradition and had dinner away from our hotel. We headed up into the mountains outisde the city to Johnny Fox's for Whooly Night. After holding our breath as Johnny navigated through the narrowest of streets, which were also winding up the hills, we reached our destination.
We were sheparded into a music-hall like room with long tables and low, small stools. We were amazed that the waitresses could manage to make it through the aisles to take orders and serve. Food was plentiful and delicious - many of us enjoyed the lamb dish.
We were entertained by a band with a female vocalsit who was outstanding. It was great fun and interactive (Katie ended up clapping with the band). The showed then turned to Irish dancing. While overall very entertaining we noticed some flaws: the safety pins holding the pants on, the tall, mean-looking man hitting his head on the ceiling while jumping on a stool, the felt-like costumes and the lack of child-labor laws as the (very cute and talented) nine year old performed at 10:45pm.
Tonight was even more special because we were joined by some alumni who reside in Ireland as well as two current students interning in Dublin. Fr. Bart Salters, CSC '67, Mike Shea '85, Annelle '71 and Stephen '70 Rowen and Megan Fench '02 (who brought us a canister of chocolates to enjoy on our next day's bus ride - THANKS Megan!). Kathleen Comber '08 and Alison Glavin '09 were a delight to meet.
