This event took place in Dublin in October.
It becomes a big event, great organization according to the amount of people to manage, the different locations and activities.
After 8 year everybody should say: normal, … well no it is the best way not to be as good as they were.

Great thanks again for the Belt this year.

These are the pic from the Diner. The final (look how people look fresh)
Some of them are afraid of the flash

The pictures are not the best I did so far but If you like them I display them just in case.

maw68 — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:29:17 +0000

Soon, some of you will see the new commercial campaign of O2 Ireland. If only you know how many energy it takes!!
This one was filmed in the “O2 arena” (previously called “The Point Theater”) in Dublin 1.
Basically people here where asked to go along to funky concert.
Funky concert means: challenge… how to get dressed like a “funky” fan?

Just have a look, the result is quite good!

[These picture have been take from 7H30 to 20h15 the first day only]
Next update once I find the TV ad.
