They are kind of overselling it alright, aren't they? Not giving people much time to make plans either.

Strikes me more as a pub thing than a festival. It could all get a little messy if Aidan's Double Hooker is sampled before hand.

First of its kind in Galway <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

This sounds like a good day out and it has the makings of a great weekend with the Hooker meetup.

I didn't realise the Oct 19th date suggested for the Hooker visit was a Friday <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> Make's it a bit difficult work-wise. The 29th of Sept was better as a Saturday. I'd nearly prefer to do the two seperately at this stage if they could each be done on a Saturday (basically, I have no holidays left <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->)

What sort of cash are they talking about? Not enough to put a microbrewery off completely I hope.
