Hi all! Firstly, thanks for all the wonderfull support throughout the Leaving Cert. Know that every email you sent me pushed me along a tiny tiny bit more. Let’s just hope it was enough!

Now, down to work. This episode of View From The Quad is a special event. I bring you, the Dublin Pride Festival 2010! Join me in the parade as I chat to a few flaming homosexuals (such as the wonderful Alan Costello), watch some prancing drag queens (such as Panti) and am utterly befubbled by some very VERY strange dance routines! This episode comes in a very long one, so sit back and enjoy, possibly in several sections.

Now, as I mentioned, a lot of the audio I recoreded (I would imagine well over half) was not usable, as there wasn’t really anything to hear other then loud thumpy music. However, on listening to my hellish attempts to describe what madness was going on before me, I have decided that I can not allow this stuff go to waste. Seriously, you will never hear me as confused again. So, I have uploaded all 130mb of it, the ENTIRE concert, and you can download it at the link below. Enjoy my commentary!

If you enjoy this episode of View From The Quad, please consider donating some money to your local GLBT support group. They deal with a lot of crap, and seriously need the support. This episode of View From The Quad is my little way of helping out some people I have gotten very friendly with over the years, and they do NOT deserve the crap that they have to deal with on a daily basis. But if you listen to View From The Quad, you already know my views on that.
