That's one big crab leg!
My time in Phoenix is just about done. Heading over to miami on Sunday to meet up with the boys for the cricket world cup. Pretty pumped about it although you wouldn't know there's a world cup on over here - yet to see any highlights let alone a game.

The last couple of weeks over here have been pretty quiet. My flatmate has played a couple of gigs including the tempe arts festival and a launch party for their new cd, which went well. I've included a link at the bottom of the page to their website where you can listen to all their songs (shameless plug). If anyone wants to buy their album let me know - i'll have some copies over in Ireland with me.

I know a few of you have seen the tv show "Worlds Deadliest Catch" - i was in the supermarket the other day and saw they had alaskan king crab legs for sale. I bought a couple and these things are huge. I lay one down on the floor next to my sandal and it was twice as long. And the best part is that the meat was some of

Festival at Temp
the tastiest seafood i've had - and there's loads of meat in there and its not at all a pain in the arse to get to. It definitely got my seal of approval.

Don't know that i'll be able to update from the funship but as soon as i get a chance i'll let you know how the trip went. Actually i can tell you right now - it was awesome. I fly in to Ireland on the 9th of may. Looking forward to catching up with everyone back in kinsale. Browny - was wondering why i hadn't heard from you. Realised it was cause i hadn't added you to the list - sorry about that mate. Dougy - only just got your address from Norto. How's Melbourne going?

I've also listed below the games we are going to be at so you can keep an eye out for us.

Renee/Dave O'C what are the odds one of you guys could come and pick me up from Shannon? I'll be your best friend. If anyone else wants to volunteer that would be great - you too could be my best friend.
