Jimi Hendrix's Birthday

November 27th is Jimi Hendrix's birthday, tomorrow Jimi Hendrix would have been 65. November 27th, 1967 was an important date for jimi's Irish fans as he headlined a concert in Ireland in the Whitla Hall in Queens University, Belfast. Others artists like pink Floyd, Rick Emerson, The Move not a bad line up for a Monday night.
Johnny Allen Hendrix better known as Jimi Hendrix was an American songwriter, singer but once of the most famous guitarists in history. He performed in many festivals one of the most famous was when he headlined in Woodstock Festival in 1969. In a 1967, concert he had to be brought to hospital because of burns on his hands. Before he was supposed to perform the artist decided to light one of his guitars on fire, this became one of trademarks others where stunts like playing the guitar with his teeth and behind his back....very impressive. Jimi Hendrix died on September 18, 1970 in an apartment in London he died in bed after taking a reported nine Vesperax sleeping pills and choking in his sleep, there is some mystery to his dead because the woman he was with claims that he was still alive when put into the ambulance but the paramedics claims he was dead before they got there. The matter was looked into further but no new evidence was ever found.

Dont trust sweet old ladies!!!!!

I work in Carrig donn which to whoever doesnt know sells clothes and giftware stuff like crystal and newbridge and the like, anyway working nine-seven on saturday...not many people believed me when I told them this story but anyway was really busy on saturday loads of kids and families were in the shopping centre because santa was coming(awhh) okay so the place was packed. About four o'clock I was helping these lovely two old women they were getting their christmas presents, they mainly wanted to get giftware stuff like glasses and jewellery, they were just interested in the stuff that wasn't in the cabinets I thought brilliant dont have to run up stairs to the stock room. They wanted to buy Waterford glasses worth about 100 euro for each box which where out on the floor, but wanted to wait for one of their daughters to come to the shop so they wouldn't have to carry it so they left the shop i guessed to get her. So then it coming up to about half five had totally forgot about these women, until my manger notice two boxes which the glasses in them were closed, when she opened them the boxes her empty the security tages in the boxes, mentioned to my manager about the two women who where very interested in getting the glasses but their was no way they could have carried them. Went and got the security men in the shoping centre they looked back on the cameras and we all saw a middle aged women with a large buggy take the glasses the security man asked me a few questions I told them about the people who wanted to buy the glasses that I knew of including these two old women they looked back further on the camras and to my shock told me these two women are barred from the shopping centre because they are well known shop lifters and get their families to help, okay this might not seem so strange or shocking to some but if you had have seen these two old women you would not believe they would shop lift, they looked like women who dont like to leave the house and stay in and knit or something, so moral of this story is not to trust everyone they might not be what they seem.

kylie's new song

First I have to say Ive never been a fan of Kylie.... BUT I really like this song 2hearts, it has almost a million views on youtube and is doing really well in the charts I think its a brilliant song and I think its a different video then everyone else's at the moment. Also saw The Kylie Show, she took the piss out of herself in between songs in backstage sketches which was hilarious, really well put together when Jason Donovan doesn't no who Kylie is and just thinks shes a fan of his was hilarious but the best was when her and Danni, her sister had a big catfight and Simon Cowell walks in and thinks Kylie is Danni's mother, its was brilliant!!!!

oxygen dilemma!!

Okay ive just decided to go and start looking for a tent for oxygen just to know where to get a good one, some people might think iam a bit early but from my experience of the last two times ive gone to the festival and only being able to get a tent the day before or about two hours before I have to leave. I think tents are like one of those products when you dont need them, there everyone but when you have to get one there nowhere to be found!!!! Definately not getting one out of dunnes no offence to the store but they have crap tents I mean tents are made for outside yet dunnes have decided to sell tents that are not water proof????, now maybe if Ireland was a warm place where its dosent rain this would be acceptable....but its not and at a weekend festival down in the country its is more then likely going to rain!!!
Definately need a good tent going to oxygen. Me and my mate on our first time going to the festival we did go a little unprepared with an extremely small tent that was suppost to fit the two of us and bags and everything and of course the tent leaked but thankfully got most of our stuff out before it got two bad and got to stay in another friends four man tent but another few friends of mine tent flooded i mean stuff was floating it was that bad, so they we all ended up trying to sleep in the same tent so it was about 10 or 11 people in a four man tent. awh well had a good time anyway could hav been worse could hav gone with stephen!!!!
