This has been probably the best St. Patricks Day that I can remember having. I've never really celebrated it much, me not having an ounce of Irish in me and all, but since it fell on a Friday I figured it would be worth a shot. So Megan, Meredith, and I went to Bennigans in Woodridge and joined in their St. Patricks Day party. I got a shamrock tattoo and a sticker and then I had a chocolate martini and shared some lava cake with my friends. Later, Megan and I decided to request a good old fashioned drinking song, since they weren't playing many of those, and to our surprise the DJ actually had the song we wanted. It was really cool.
Then we went back to Megan's house later on and listened to what may just become my new favorite band: Black 47. They're a genuine Irish American band from New York and they play a mix of Irish drinking song/rock/alternative music. And they're songs are hilarious! I borrowed the CD and if I like it enough I may just have to buy it for myself. Currently I'm listening to "I got laid on James Joyce's Grave". =) Pretty damn funny.
Yep, this was a good St. Patricks day indeed.
Happy St. Patty's day to all you lads and lassies!
