Isobel's 30th, Blackrock, Dublin - 2nd November 2007
It's Isobel's birthday. The big thrash was back in August at Bromestock 3, but this is a chance to head back to Blackrock to have a bit of a do with family and friends at Tonic, first for some food, and second for some Guinness and Mojitos. The day after, we head over to Killiney for a bit of a wander, and to see one of the locations of the film "Once".
