Scott Dylan

As part of International Women’s Day (8th March 2010), I scott dylan went along to La Boca a nice little Argentine style restaurant based on Fountain Street in Belfast which was hosting an art exhibition featuring works by artists Liz Carrasco (Mexico), Veronica Borchi (Italy), Katia Popoff(Chile) and Helen Warner(England).

During the night La Boca was giving away free wine to all guests as we not only enjoyed viewing the artworks but also live music provided by a Latin American singer Anai from Argentina also interacted with the guests, we was also entertained by one of the artists of the night (Veronica Borchi) who gave us a acapella version of Summertime.

I also understand that Liz Carrasco managed to sell a few of her pieces during the night.

I would recommend anyone who has an interest in Art, or wants to experience an Argentinean night out to go along to La Boca.

Everytime I (scott dylan) visit Dubarry’s I always feel welcomed by the Doorstaff, Barstaff and the owner Declan.

Although the venue is usually frequented by an older crowd I cant help but enjoy every night I have out in Dubarry’s, the atmosphere is quite relaxed and tame.

The venue is really well decorated with lots of luxurious velvet stools, fabric walls, well maintained carpets and Chandelier type lighting I cant help but describe this as a very Chic bar.

Its always nice to be greeted by Doorstaff who open the door and ask you how you are, this is something I dont think I’ve experienced at any other bar in Belfast yet and is definitely a plus point for Dubarry’s.

The bar staff are very friendly, give a service with a smile and pretty chatty.

I would say Dubarry’s on Gresham Street definitely stands out from the other Gay and Lesbian bars in Belfast.

I (Scott Dylan) never got to see Milk, but from what I see of Rain, I actually really enjoy this Nightclub; especially on a Monday night!

I decided to go to Rain Nightclub after seeing Lady Gaga on Monday 22nd February, when I arrived Pat Kent and Titti the nights hosts were standing on the door being very welcoming and making sure we all entered the club with a smile on our faces, this is something you rarely see in a Nightclub these days so was a pleasant change from the club doors around Belfast.

The music on the night was extremely good, I never got to catch the DJ’s name that was playing but he had me on the dance floor for most of the night, which although isn’t really a hard thing to do the DJ was superb.

Bar staff were very quick and also friendly, it seems like the guys at Rain are really pulling out all the stops to make the venue a success!

It was also nice to see that the same people who greeted us on our way into the club were also wishing us a safe journey home.

*Scott Dylan is not affiliated with Rain or its nights at all I merely had a really good night.

Last night I (scott dylan) went to the performance at the Odessey, Belfast to see Lady Gaga Monster Ball Tour 22nd February 2010, although choreography was absolutely amazing, and Lady GaGa didnt cancel due to the death of her friend; I found that she made alot of very big contradictions to everything she has said in her recent Interviews running upto and during her Monster Ball Tour.

Some of the contradictions:

1. Lady Gaga claimed that her Monster Ball tour was for people who felt alone or like freaks to come to the tour and not care *then at point she stated ” i get the fucking key and i lock out all the freaks from coming in”

2. Lady Gaga always talks about the truth and how its better to just say how you feel even if it hurts people but during her show last night she made a statement to the affect “I hate the TRUTH, i’d rather have a whole load of bullshit”, how can Lady GaGa say in one breath that its better to say how you feel but then say in another that she doesnt like the truth and would prefer lies?

Is it really a case that Lady GaGa has just become a product of the recording industry where she will say anything to sell a record and tour, but really be thinking something else? I really hope not!

Great performance but sadly this Monster ball was just full of contridictions!

I’ve had my monitor for one of my computers for the past year, unfortunately one of my computers needed a full reinstall. When I came to installing the monitor I found that I didnt actually have the right drivers so had a constant bluryness on the screen.

I went to the monitors manuafacturers AOC Europe website to try and find the correct drivers but couldnt and when I called they said they no longer support the monitor – which is a disgrace to start with!.

I searched all over the web for the correct driver for the AOC N20W to download but all i kept finding was crappy software to download that “may” find the right driver for $29.99 – so I paid the fee in hope that it would, and just as I suspected… it didnt!

Luckily i’ve now finally gained the correct download by badgering at AOC Europe.

So download AOC N20W Driver here. N20WB_AOC_driver
