What a fun Bloomsday this is turning out to be. I am spending the evening in the studios of WBAI performing Ulysses live on air. There’s nothing like the rush of a live performance to exercise your acting chops.
Entrance to WBAI studios before this evening’s Bloomsday performance.
Hope you’re all having a Joyce-filled Bloomsday.

Hi there! I’m Ailsa. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall.
And I’m just getting started.
If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue wheresmybackpack.com
Remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.
Wonderful!
It was a lot of fun, Sunshine
Wonderful! I was going to post something in honor of Bloomsday, but didn’t have quite the right photo…
I didn’t get to see any of the other Bloomsday stuff happening around the city, did you? xxx Ailsa
There were a few things mentioned on Facebook, mostly, as you might expect, pub-centered happenings
But of course!
How wonderful!
It really was, Madhu, I am a huge fan of James Joyce and it was such a joy to read his words aloud.
James Joyce you fabulousnasty man…Happy Day!
Amy, that is my new favourite non-word, fabulousnasty. I am going to find a way to use it in conversation this week!
I had some devilled kidneys in Fitzgerald’s of Sandycove on Bloomsday, they do a great show out there. Joyce used to sup there when he stayed in the Martello Tower with his friends. It wasn’t Fitzgerald’s then, it was just a tiny country pub. Sandycove would have been considered to be out in the country to Dubliners at that time.
I haven’t been to Sandycove in ages, pretty great place to celebrate Bloomsday. Next time I’m back in Ireland I’m definitely revisiting Joyce’s haunts. I might give the devilled kidneys a miss though!
Great Photo! ✿♡✿Happy Father’s Day!
Thanks

I wanted to create and post a photograph of stately plump Buck Mulligan coming from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. But by the time I’d found a mirror let alone a bowl of lather and a straight razor and a plausible Buck Mulligan —
Bloomsday was over.
Glad you were there filling in the gaps.
I for one would love to see that photo, Touch – if you start now, you might have it for next Bloomsday
That is so cool!
Thanks Amy, it was a pretty great thing to be a part of. It was broadcast live in NY and on a 3 hour delay in LA. Fun stuff.
Thank you for sharing your joy!
