Eric had been minding his own business walking across the park on his way to the Devil's Nest when the gremlin bit him, then the two other unfortunate souls who'd also been there with him.
And that's how Eric, Anakin and Ben were under the mistaken impression that they were the Blarney Brothers, wearing white sweaters and oh-so-attractive berets (which weren't Irish, but try telling them that), standing on a stage that didn't exist outside of their insane, gremlin-bitten minds and singing that most beloved of Irish ballads:
Danny Boy.
