Ceile Dancing and Riots and Skipping.

WEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! Have been trying for a week to upload photos onto my blog so this is late.......

Paddys day was Fun.

Kila rocked in The Apolo. Crazy biscuits seeing the band I used to see play in my school hall play in Barcelona, where the crowd were going wild dancing but no one knew what the hell I was on about with my ´isteach, amach, cailini trasna, buachailli trasna!
We missed the riots.....I don´t get it....you can drink on the streets Aaaaany day in this city without a bother but I guess everyone decided to irish it up by organising a ´permitted´ boozing it up session (bottellon=big bottle) and then wrecking the gaff......
Luckily enough we left the raval before it started, dropped Killians parents back to the hotel and went to Poble Nou for a free party in a warehouse where DJ Rupture was playing. There was a huge skipping session with a big rope outside on the road..no one was really any good but it was some laugh anyway.
Then it was barking all the way home for bowls of popcorn and beers...Not before Tom and I attempted once again to do crabs on the street- where you lie on your back and push yourself up onto your hands and toes.....like a crab...falling over.

Shot



I assisted a photographer on saturday...rather gruesome 80s backdrop that I don´t know if any photoshopping could really fix and the posing..oh dear...but I got a small chance to work with the model and here´s one shot...must learn vocab for tilt your chin, face a little more towards the light, all the stuff you don´t even notice you´re saying when you´re working until you´re trying to conjugate verbs and the model is looking at you rather strangely because you´ve asked her to bend her lips instead of her elbow.....ah.....but what fun all the same.

CASA PACO


Casa Paco ROX.

It´s like dancing round your living room when loads of people have crashed your party but they´re total soundies so it´s all cool.
And if you get hungry you can run across the square that´s always full of dogs and eat in Pizza Paco. There´s nut oil with chillis to spill on your pizza.
There´s a playground in the square too with see saws and sand to fall in.
Some people dance like crazy, some people fall over, some people sing, some people play music, some pour drinks, some put the coats somewhere safe, some take photos and EVERYONE talks and laughs all night.Such fun.

Killian and Tom play there tonight, ha ha look at the flyer, DJs Tom y Redmond...Tommy Redmond boy.

It will be cool.

I have my first photo job later this afternoon, marvelous.

Gonna drink some coffee and eat some cake now.
