st. patrick's day invite post '08!

Hi Everybody! It's time for one of the best day's of the year - St. Patrick's Day!

**which is also my sister's birthday - so happy bday, sis!**

Here's the rundown on where I'll probably be, what I'll probably be doing, who I'll probably be seeing. You should stop out and join me in celebrating! My whereabouts are subject to change at the very last second so you might want to hit the cell to verify what I'm up to, first.

breakfast 9ish AM @ They Jury Room

Parade 11:30ish AM The Parade **note they have slightly altered route this year

Post-Parade possibly a few drink's @ Byrne's

Afternoon fun - 3ish pm - Rumour has it there's a celtic-type guitar player @ Grandview Cafe

Later afternoon fun - 5ish pm - Come see Julia dance! @ Fado

Evening entertainment 1 - 9ish pm - We'll still be @ Fado for the start of The Prodigals

Evening entertainment 2 10ish pm - After a little of The Prodigals I'll be heading out to Rude Dog's for the first time to see Punch the Monkey. It's likely this is where I'll close the night.

It should go without saying - but - SAFETY FIRST! Curb your drinkin' & drivin' by walking, biking, carpooling, taking a cab, a bus, etc. etc.

happy st. paddy's day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

You can find me celebrating here

Two days until St. Patrick's Day!

I'm protestant (and don't recognize saints as some churches do), and really only 1/2 Irish, but I love the guy.
Why is St. Patrick so cool?

#1 He wasn't Irish, and actually spent his initial time in Ireland as a slave, and he still decided the Irish were worth saving.

#2 He wasn't a beaurocrat. He wasn't an evil priest taking advantage of his people. (He was never associated with any specific church).

#3 My favorite thing about St. Patrick is that he didn't try to eradicate the Irish culture or their rituals, even the pagan ones. Instead he incorporated much of their culture and beliefs in his teachings. The most common example of this is the "celtic cross".

St. Patrick's Day 2007:
the 4th (or maybe it's the 5th?) annual Columbus kick-off breakfast

Just because you're not as Irish as me doesn't mean you can't party with me. This year's celebrating of St. Patrick will commence:

Saturday morning Bailey's for Breakfast
March 17th
Claddaugh Irish Pub
(front street - in the brewery district*)
8am-11am - ish


Join us for breakfast, or just the Bailey's. It's the best way to make sure you're up and at the parade! After breakfast, we'll head up towards Broad St.


St. Patrick's Day Parade
11:45 am - Broad St.


After the parade, the party continues. Come out to Fado Irish Pub @ Easton to watch Julia perform Irish dance! She's on from 2-6pm.

While it's not definitive, I currently expect to end the evening at Byrne's Irish Pub in Grandview. Join me there to close out the great holiday!

brewery district.
