Open thread: What are you doing instead of going to the Garth Brooks concerts?

Had tickets for the ill-fated gigs? Tell us what you’re up to instead of going to them.

GARTH BROOKS WAS supposed to be playing five dates in Dublin’s Croke Park this week.

We all know that that didn’t go to plan…

But hey. Chin up. There are LOTS of things happening this weekend.

You might even be arranging your own shindig.

Holding a Garth tribute? Heading to Dublin anyway to have a bit of craic? Or trying to forget about it all?

Let us know what you’re doing in the comments below.
