Well here it is another St Patrick's Day. I thought I would dive in to the real meaning of the day, it is Beer.
Yes I said beer.... Obviously it is another excuse to drink, wear green, and listen to Celtic music.
I was thinking on my way to work about how many Celtic bands are out there, and they all look so forward to the one day a year that they are assured a gig. Other than playing at an Irish bar, or a Maritime bar they are S.O.L.
It is funny how the minute a jig starts people start to stomp one foot, clap their hands and go either eeeeeeeeee, or oy oy oy oy.
I know that everyone is guilty of it.. More than likely tanked out of their mind.
I will say the best St Patrick's I had was at the Republic a long time ago. The Mahones were playing, it was a stinkin good time. I walked out looking like I had taken a shower with my clothes on, and as typical here in Calgary there was about 3 inches of snow on the ground. There was so much steam coming off of me that I looked like I was on fire.
Well enjoy the green beer...
