Travel
Miami was the destination for a significant birthday celebration last week. We felt blessed to get literally the last flight out of Dublin airport before it was shut down.
Miami is a great town and we were lucky enough to be staying at the Fontainebleau, a fantastic spot on Miami Beach. Obama had just checked out as we checked in and Clinton was there on the Saturday night being entertained by The Village People (who we managed to share a dinner table with, after their performance. Only three of the original line up are still in the band).
Highlights of the trip included a tour of the stars home on Star Island, Tropical Art Deco architecture on South Beach, shopping on Lincoln Road, excellent food and sunshine.
It is a great holiday destination and in the end the volcanic ash only delayed our return by 24 hours.
It is great to get a shot of American optimism and upbeat can do attitude. It makes all the doom and gloom in the Irish media more bearable!

Elevate
Since Monday, 5th April 2010 TK Maxx has been urging shoppers to drop in their unwanted quality clothing and household items to any TK Maxx store. Their donations will then be delivered to Enable Ireland shops, where they will be sold to raise funds to provide vital services for children with disabilities across the country.
We’re now in to the final week of the campaign and the Elevate team have been going into overdrive stacking up our ‘Give Up Clothes for Good’ donation bags. Each bag could be worth up to €30 and with every Elevator trying to contribute at least 1 bag each, that’s a donation of up to €360!

Starting out as a blog about alternative music and art house cinema, Longman Oz, the pseudonym this blogger writes under, is now heading in a direction, and doesn’t know which one that is. Filled with reviews, thoughts and anything you can think of about the arts, it’s no wonder No Ordinary Fool won “Best Arts & Culture Blog” at the Irish Blog Awards last month
