Well it rained for the entire duration of our stay in the picturesque Iveagh Gardens in Dublin. So we huddled under a leafy canopy to listen to the three girls in Mountain Man sing acapella, play a little bit of guitar and talk about The Secret Garden. We passed out strawberries and listened some more. It was all captured on film by Bandwidth. If you want to be present at the next intervention, follow State on Twitter for announcements.
