Recap of my trip to Portland to see B&GFCC........

[Andypandy]

I had an incredible time in Portland(I took Amtrak) And I am hoping I have the world record now in seeing Andrea's movie(it means alot to me to hold the record,lol). I was able to see the movie 12 times(3 with Corrs Go bragh) so i have seen it a total of 14 times now:) I just adore this movie and each time it gets better. The same girl that worked the counter friday worked sunday and thought I was nuts,lol. The showings on sat night were pretty full and people seemed to enjoy the movie. The Portland newspapers had 2 horrible reviews only one of which i will even post here. The other one was really nasty!. Atleast one of them liked Andrea.
As Chris said in a earlier post we went to an Irish bar called Kells where the band played Toss & Haste. We sat up front and downed some Guiness & Harps. Chris & iI also went to this cool Irish store next to the theater and each bought a Harps glass(as Chris said brewed in Dundalk) and we also bought county Lough lapel pins. I also was fortuneate to get to listen to Corrs Go Bragh play Corrs songs on guitar-hes really good!! He played me about a dozen Corrs songs and Hoplessly Addicted, No More Cry, Goodbye, and Hideaway were my favs he played. I forgot to ask him to play Summer Sunshine. On the way home I stopped at an Irish bar in Seattle called Faldo's and they had a pic of the owner I guess it was with Bono who the pic said his is cousin.

Here are some pics.. Notice how they misspelled Clare

I screwed up-Bragh & I should have had someone take our pic at the theater.

Your exactly right, Jana!

Andrea was awesome, and very adorable in her role.

My wife and I were able to see the film on Sunday in San Luis Obispo, California in a small independent theatre. ;D



We both really liked the film! ;D It was funny, sweet, and touching. And the full audience, which appeared to be some type of film club for seniors, gave the film an ovation at the conclusion, notwithstanding a few "graphic" scenes and some... well, okay, a LOT... of coarse language (mostly from Colm Meaney's very funny character).

Andrea was brilliant and charming (as usual) and Shaun Evans was very good as well

I still hope I´ll be able to see it one day.
Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us and thatnks for the picture!!!
