Gayglers and Dublin Pride

Although it has been a while since Pride was in town, only now I could find some time to sit down and reflect. The bottom line is that we (Gayglers/Googlers) won the Community Award for 2008 and that all the hard work was really worth-while. Not just because of the award, but also for all the positive feedbacks and the impact we had on the festivities and in the long term - Dublin LGBTQ community.

So what did we do??
Dublin online gay map - www.google.ie/gaydublin
Dublin Pride YouTube Channel
YouTube Pod
Gold Sponsorship
And probably had the nicest float at the Parade with a fab DJ

From Dublin Parade...

So all in all it was a great experience, good fun but also lots of hard work.
Next year?! I might just do again but it in a different city...

Thanks for Jason, Annamarie and many others that helped.

Dublin Pride Youtube Channel

In addition to the Gay Map, this year the Gayglers helped Dublin Pride setting up a YT channel. http://ie.youtube.com/dublinpride

We created so much buzz around it and the channel is a hip.
Have a look at the Question Dublin Pride Members featured on the channel:

Dublin Gay Map

This year the Gayglers around the world and in Dublin are doing cool initiatives during Pride.

For the coming Pride in Dublin we used one of our coolest products - Maps - to create an online map with all the gay (+friendly) venues/activities in Dublin. At the moment the map features Pride-specific events.

It amazes me how fast you can create cool and usable content...

Pride 2008 is cominggggg

Thinking about India, Gay scene in Hyderabad and Kingfischer

Are you looking for?

Gay Scene in Hyderabad

There isn't such. I spent 6 weeks around the city and talked with *few* queers which sadly informed me there is not even a gay friendly place to hang out at (they used to have something but then police bullied the visitors). The gayest vibes I had were in Le Cafe De Art in Banjara Hills but locals couldn't confirm it was. So seems like there is no Gay scene in Hyderabad. I guess the city didn't have the time to realize the potential with the massive amount of expats around... Taking into account the city is packed with expats, at least 10% are Queer and they have dollars in their pockets it is just a matter of time until it will happen.... Do let me know if anything changes...

Kingfischer Dublin - What the heck can it be?

a. misspelling for kingfisher (India's best!! airlines) which as far as I'm aware does not fly to Dublin.
b. the kingfisher bird and its connection to Dublin, Ireland
c. The Kingfisher which is apparently a restaurant in Dublin

Lonley Planet India Mumbai

For some reason I'm ranking for this one as well...
Lonley planet was indeed helpful for while traveling around Mumbai. Just take into account the raise in prices from the latest edition.

Phoenix Park

Probably because of the blog post I had a while ago about Phoneix park and the lads where Jason told us it is a known gay cruising area...

What is this post?
I got visitors that looked for this information (kingfisher or kingfische, mumbai, lonley planet, India, gay, hyderabad, scene, dublin, expats) and I though this post might be helpful...

Cheers

Doron's on his way

Am sitting on our uncomfy couch watching Sex and the City and writing this post. It was a longggg day. When it's too busy in the office, by the time I arrive home I'm wrecked.

Since the only weekday you can go on shopping after work is Thursday I had to do it TODAY. So I went to my favorite organic shop Fallon & Byrne . For some reason they stopped bringing the Israeli Hummus; Probably because it made their homemade Hummus less atractive. I have to find some other place that sale it. But anyways it worth going there just for their pesto and risens bread. Then Marks and Spencer and Tesco. I'm too picky. Like very specific things from different places and eventhough Tesco's online shopping is very nice I still have to go and pick some of my favs on my own.

Coming back home I then had to vaccum, change sheeds and then scrub the kitchen and bathroom. Doesn't it sounds like fun ?!

The week is now well planned in advance. Galway here we come. Dublin - Doron's on his way :)
