Larry is the Timothy Schmit of U2, haha, but I'm guessing he's much more famous and recognized in Ireland than TBS is here. He is very slight - can't weigh over 150 lbs. and looks good. He only drank coffee during the 3-hour game, not one Guinness. His wife kept popping into the suite - she must have been with friends in another area. It was so great because the suite was nearly empty - just him by himself and my group - crazy! Definitely a highlight for a music lover.
    We tend not to have a lot of security generally - nothing like what I have experienced in the States. And I guess too there is a 'live and let live' mentality - famous Irish people (media personalities, successful singers/actors, sports people) DO tend to just hang out with the people and do not generally bring security guards with them. Also they do not tend to be 'swamped' by fans!

    Thank you for the welcome.
    MaryCalfornia I am pleased that you enjoyed your trip to Dublin and that you meet and enjoyed the company of Larry. I have been to California to see the Eagles at Lake Tahoe and some time later at Hollywood Bowel. It was great and I meet very friendly people. I loved my holiday.
    GA thanks for the advice on the tickets for the match, my brother left it too late to get tickets from his club. We were hoping to make it a family day out.
    We just have to shout at the TV.
    It is great to be here

    We will be shouting at the TV too! I've never seen a semi final sell out so quickly before!

    Hopefully the Dubs will get past Kerry and will make it to the final!

    What club is your brother? We are St Thomas/ Castleknock.

    Hi GA,

    He is in St Olafs, a small club near Stillorgan, the children love it.
    It would be great to see the Dubs get to another final. I was very lucky to have a ticket for the final in 2011, and the 16 year wait made it sweet.

    I am going to see the Eagles in New York and it would be great to meet you!

    Enjoy the match. Come on ye boys in blue!

    That is great news, thank you.

    I fly with Aer Lingus on Thursday, I might see if I could change it to Friday.
    What time are you flying? As I am traveling on my own, I would love to have company. I could give you my email address/phone number!

    I have tickets for the shows on Friday and Saturday, I thought it might be greedy to go on Monday, but I would have liked too!

    I think this will be magic!

    I will PM you! I should have done it sooner but this week has just been crazy. I fly out in the 1045am flight on the Friday morning and I have (well HH has) tickets for Friday and Saturday as well. Monday would be great too but I'm pushing it work wise as it is getting Friday off. I fly in on Sunday evening to arrive in Dublin at 525am and I will be in my class to teach at 9am on Monsay morning.

    Glenn and co! The things I do for you.

    How cool! I am so excited for you two GA & Desperada! To be able to travel together from Ireland would be fantastic! I hope it works out! How many hours would that be of NONSTOP Eagles talk?

    Dublin won! They beat Kerry. You would have to be some part Irish to realise exactly what that means.......

    Roll on 22 September and Mayo!!!
