Jack Quinn's

November 18, 2002
So it wasn't really until Sarah invited me to go see them again, with her brother, that I started gaining interest. This concert was in a small(ish) pub called Jack Quinn's. The atmosphere was much much more intimate, and even while they were singing, you felt like you were a part of the music and the fun. Pittsburgh felt like a strange concert where you sat or stood by your chair, but felt restrained to only clap.

But I'm getting ahead of myself here. First, we ate dinner in Jack Quinn's. I had the Irish Stew and fell in love with lamb. Baa baa. LOL We also had Bailey's on the rocks. Ooooooh yeaaah...*drools* LOL The waiter was odd, but friendly and we split a dessert.

The doors to the loft/concert area were to open at 7 pm, however...we ended up standing in line forever. The plane Gaelic Storm was flying in on was delayed, and so was the show as a result. They finally opened the doors sometime after 8 pm. Once everyone was in and situated, they started the show.

My favorite moments of the night:

Patrick getting the giggles REALLY BAD, resulting in the same song's intro being played over and over. There's a pic of it.
Talking to Bob (LOVE BOB!!!) and telling him he's so cute!! His reply, "Oh, you should get your glasses checked! Oh...you aren't wearing any!!" LMAO (didn't have the heart to tell him I wear contacts! LOL)
Taking a picture of Sarah and Patrick, as he did his "Eminem" pose.
Talking to Patrick and listening to him go on about how much he HATES Eminem. LOL And then, being fascinated as he talked about his brother's graphic art for the DVD of the movie, 8 Mile.
Sarah absolutely GLOWING after talking to Patrick for a full 5 minutes.

Monty Python sighting!! When prodded to do an encore, they suddenly burst into "Always look on the Brighter side of life".

Band on stage--Patrick's Antics

The Giggle Pic!!! LOL

A Picture with Patrick? *faint*
