The day involves a range of cultural activities including Ulysses readings and dramatisations, pub crawls and general merriment, much of it hosted by the James Joyce Centre in North Great George's Street. Enthusiasts often dress in Edwardian costume to celebrate Bloomsday, and retrace Bloom's route around Dublin via landmarks such as Davy Byrne's pub. Hard-core devotees have even been known to hold marathon readings of the entire novel, some lasting up to 36 hours. The first celebration took place in 1954, and a major five-month-long festival (ReJoyce Dublin 2004) took place in Dublin between 1 April and 31 August 2004. On the Sunday in 2004 before the 100th "anniversary" of the fictional events described in the book, 10,000 people in Dublin were treated to a free, open-air, full Irish breakfast on O'Connell Street consisting of sausages, rashers, toast, beans, and black and white puddings.
are you doing bloomsday?
yes, with my lovely lady, the best wife there is!
what is a good way to train for bloomsday next year?
I dont know what bloomsday is but you could try going for early morning runs. start off doing 2k for two wks or when you feel you have got the 2k down pat and then take it up to 3k. when you are comfortable running the 3k take it up to 4 or 5k. take it up 1 or 2k each time after that. although it depends on how long the run is.
