Silent Disco

Every Tuesday night a local pub, the Roisin Dubh, hosts something absolutely incredible. They call it Silent Disco, and it's brilliant. Really sound. The Silent Disco works like this: You pay a 5Euro cover charge to get in, and to get a free pint. As you walk in, a man at the front door hands you a pair of head phones, and quickly mumbles, "Volume here, stations here," pointing out the two buttons you need to know how to use. Then the fun begins. There are two DJs, playing two completely different stations, and you can flip between the two, deciding on the one you like best. For our purposes, we will refer to the DJs by what was on their shirts...A and B. DJ A tended to play more of a rock feel. Everything from Mumford and Sons to Cindy Lauper. I would say that his station was the more popular of the two because more of his songs were of the sing-along variety. I mean, when "Livin on a Prayer" came on, you could here the masses more clearly than the headphones. I personally preferred DJ B. It may have been because he was the cuter of the two, but I would also attribute it to the amount of Justin Timberake he played. I would describe his station as more of the dirty rap variety. It started out with mostly old-school rap: Biggie, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg (from when he was still called Snoop Dogg and promoted the "izzle"). But as the evening progressed, there was more and more late 90s, early 2000s, even including some newly released Jay/'ye stuff. It was perfect dance music! Come to think of it, that's probably why Chelsea and I loved it, and the Irish weren't as into it. haha They like to bob. We like to dance. And dance we did, all night.

Here's to you Silent Disco! See ya next Tuesday :)
