St Patrick's Day

Here is what happened on St Patty's Day. First of all I went to the Sage celebration at their offices (basement meeting room). There were about 18 to 20 people in attendance. The theme of the party was an Ode to the venerable Potato with baked potatoes for everyone along with a variety of fixings. These were nice big Idaho potatoes and there were lots of them in a big Nesco Roaster. There were an assortment of veggies and dips. There was a green custard pie, brownies and chocolate cake with green frosting. Scattered across the tables were green foil covered chocolate Irish coins.
Song sheets were passed out and we attempted to sing several Irish songs. It would have been better if music were available to accompany us. I will say it was fun, off tune and all. What can I say? You had to be there.

Later on that evening I went out to see what might be going on in the Third Ward area. First I went to the new Pump House where the younger crowd were having a good time. After that I went to M's where a small crowd hung around. I was going to try a couple of other palces but there wasn't parking close enough. I paseed by the old M&M, now an Irish Pub which was packed wall to wall. I guess we don't celebrate that much like the straight people do. They get special days, we celebrate when ever we want to. After all I'm not too crazy about Amateur Night anyway. Hope y'all had a good weekend.
