As the winter begins to set in, Culch.ie is slowing down. We’re being thoughtful, bracing ourselves for the harsh times ahead. Or something…
It’s been a quieter than normal week on Culch.ie, but there’s still been plenty of activity to keep readers happy. I’ve even been philosophical about it, asking what you suggest we do over the coming months.
Events
The Temple Bar Chocolate Festival is on this weekend. Really worth checking out. Niamh has more on it here.
Sharon went along to the Heineken Expression UV Art event.
Single and lost for something to do this Halloween, Amy has the answer.
Music
Seamus continues to keep us abreast of our Traditional Irish Music heritage, even though he’s based in the US himself. He talks about SligoLive which ran last week, along with the Saw Doctor’s new Irish tour.
Lottie’s been discovering new music on RTE Radio One. Have a listen to SJ McArdle.
Plinth may be a hard band to describe, but Will gives it a go.
Movies
The B-Team? Have a gander at the new look A-Team, including Liam Neeson as Hannibal.
Screen Cinema is playing a bunch of classic horrors at the moment, one of them being The Thing, which Stan speaks more about here.

Niall returns with his Couch Potato column, looking at this week’s new DVD releases. He’s also seen the Michael Jackson film, This is It.
Lottie and I have had a lot of fun this October looking at the great horror genres. Our penultimate post looks at the horror heroes though in Two Sheets to the Wind.

We ran the live blog as always, but there’s also a couple of clips of Breffny being……Breffny (here) and an argument between Steve and Aoifffffe here.
Don’t forget to join us this Monday evening for the next show, where teams must design a new chocolate bar for Cadburys.
Fashion and Gossip

Games
Will is wondering whether the newest incarnation of Cluedo cuts the mustard.
Ahem. Books. Ahem.
Ro, I’m so sorry. It was done in a hurry. I’m correcting it now.
