Sitting in the front seat of the car as we glide along the motorway at 55KM/h.

I guess I should start writing that post on the awesome night that was last night, the Irish Blog Awards 2009, which were held in the Cork international airport hotel.

I was announced as 2008′s best newcomer, which was fantastic. I was humbled and honoured to accept the award. It was great.

Now, I’m against thank-you posts as a whole, because I invariably forget people, but there is one guy for which it’d be a sin not to thank. Last night started with one guy. If it were not for Damien Mulley, the IBA would not exist. You rock dude, plain and simple :)

Now, I’m on an iPhone at the moment so no pics, but I do have two or three really good ones I’ll share with you when I get home.

Well done and congratulations to the other category winners and special applause for Suzie Byrne, who nabbed Best Blog.

Before I forget it, I guess now we should come clean. Stephen Fry was not actually at the ceremony last night. We lied. :)

So after the award ceremony, we were shoved out of the main room as the top secret surprise was unveiled.

Inflatable Twister.

OK, so we’re all familiar with bouncy castles, yeah? Likewise, we’re all familiar with the game Twister?

Combine them and then you get Inflatable Twister!

Right, that’s about as much as I can say about it without digging into the hoards of compromising information and events, including but not limited to something Darragh Doyle said But we’ll say no more, eh Darragh? ;-)

I’ll my computer this evening so I’ll get those pics up later on :-)
