St. Patrick's Day: Why is this day different from all other days? Because we're drinking beer, damnit. At least until someone makes it back from the candystore with our fecking bourbon. Also, the deviled eggs. Just because.

I'll be standing first row at an Electric Six gig that day. Yeah I know. But the bass is great.

You'll be slumming around, talking shit about the English and Fraternity boys, and ending up with wet pants. You know you will.

Drinking at a friend's house, watch the parade, hit some bars, go see Black 47. Tuesday is a good day for St. Patrick's to fall on because it cuts down on the crowds.
I'll miss you, pallie.

I avoid 4th july for similar reasons, that's the day the US kick the English out, it's like asking the Germans to celebrate D-Day. Again though, knock yourselves out if you wanna enjoy it to it's fullest guys.
St. Georges Day...hmmm. Isn't that when you blokes slay a fire-breathing quart of whisky?

That's certainly one theory ...

But I think that another, far more accurate one might have me playing the first of many annual gigs at a local dive. Although we might not be able to coalesce enough into a playable unit for this years 17th.

Or else, like I said, I'll just follow the Pike from one end to the other.

I love Black 47! I will be seeing Flogging Molly on the 11th. On St Patrick's Day I usually wear orange or this shirt:

Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh. Whatever the country, the bottom line is a bunch of honkeys wanted to get drunk. Why have pretense about this stuff? Holidays are made up.

It means you're part Irish and married to a Scot. And you like to drink.
