Greetings. We watched a documentary called food inc last night. Its all about how much do we know about the food that we eat, how few companies control most of the food industry and just how much power these guys have in focusing far more on company profits than our health. it was pretty scary stuff, it focused lots on factory meat farming and how horrible some sides of it are, very informative, heavy going though. loads of information for people who want to make more conscious food choices. if you have seen it let us know what you thought. Here is the link to the trailer. Cheers

dancewave

DanceWave is an alternative club night designed to get your legs shaking without a hefty dose of drinks or drugs. DanceWave is launching on this Auspicious Day when no bars open. The Wave is about 2 hours long. Its a dancing experience designed to make you feel great, with the added buzz that a plain auld knees up brings.
Doors open at 8pm, the Wave starts at 8.30pm and goes until 11pm with tunes either side. There will also be food from the Happy Pear if the hunger badger starts poking around as your belly dances.
€10 at the door.
Music from Simon Cullen of Synth Eastwood.

Aoife from the blog Adventures In Veg is a recent convert to all things veggie and she paid us a visit over the weekend. She has posted a lovely review of the Happy Pear which you can find here and we just wanted to say thanks Aoife! We’re glad you enjoyed yourself and we hope you come back again soon.
