Hey Aideen
Cat here - and you're not the only one that left Ireland straight from college. Was living in NYC a while, but now I'm pretty settled in London for the last year and a half and working as a consultant for JPMorgan.
You'll have to let me know when you're gigging in London next so we can meet up and reminisce on the good ol' days. Found a fantastic drama group in
city - they're great fun - altho can never compare with good old DCU Drama) and just finished my second musical over here, Dames At Sea there last Saturday so I'm all drama-d up at the moment and trying to recover from a mental week.
Any other drama heads in the UK? Lets organise a re-union :)

Aha! So there are people I know out there!! Lovely to know that you're all still alive and kicking- and yes- I'm sure you're all making a scene :)
Well- I'm still playing the oul' drums- been playing with quite a few bands around Brighton and London (I've been based in Brighton for 2 years) and I've been doing some really wicked gigs- including- oh yes- Glastonbury! Last year I was working for a performance group called Carnival Collective and this year I was playing with a band called Fanfara (www.fanfara.co.uk). So the music life is all good.
My day job is pretty cool- but I think they should pay me lots more money :) I work for a street arts production company called Zap Art(if you fancy knowing a bit more you can see www.zapuk.com- but i think the sites a bit unreliable at the minute.)
Kev- what you up to in New Zealand?? Cliona- where are you?? And- the rest of yis- speak up!
I've been getting all nostalgic recently... probably the realisation
later ;) the that
it has in fact been 2 whole years since I left Ireland- that's a reasonable chunk of time... and I don't have any immediate plans to come back (which is really scarey!) But the arts scene over here is just so big and vibrant and full of opportunities that I can't imagine ever having in Ireland... Hmm... any thoughts anyone?
I've been keeping in touch with my national identity however- in the most tradtional of ways- by working in a (proper) Irish pub! Nice old place run by a couple from Cork and Kerry- lots of music and drinking (we sell lots of tayto and magners/bulmers to the legions of Irish pharmacy students?!) http://thebugleinn.blogspot.com/ is where all the news is- you can see me on the entry on the 30 June!
OK- I'll leave it there and stop annoying ye all. But- I'd be delighted to hear what folks are up to post-DCU. Anyone still in the drama world?
I look forward to hearing from yis, Aideen
