(How real an "Irish pub" is J. Patrick's? One year, I spied a young woman adding blue food dye to her Harp to produce a green beer. As she went "Wooooo!" and others averted their eyes at the travesty, I politely took her arm, put down her beer, said "C'mon, out. Out, out, out!" and pushed/dragged her out the front door.
The spectators cheered me. We let her back in, but our point had been made.)
What I intend to do tomorrow:
Hide. Hide more. Then make my way to The Barns of Wolf Trap for a concert by Scotland's greatest folk music band, Battlefield Band. At least Wolf Trap has some decent beer--and I'll wager none of it will be green.

Yup, I'm definitely going to go to the most non-Irish place in history tomorrow just so I'm not annoyed by the fake revelry. hahahahha
Word. The Chop has a couple bottles of Scotch in the house. We plan to crack one open and toast the queen of England!
Which, of course, brings to mind exactly what qualifies as the most non-"Irish" place one could go to....... Let's see, vegetarian, non-Catholic/Protestant, someplace without a liquor license..... maybe an Indian or Thai buffet? Sushi?
Baltimore Chop - I will toast along with you! Yay England!
Alexander - I'm going to Kavkaz Kebab again - the Azerbaijani place in Owings Mills. I loooooooooove that place. That's pretty non-Irish.
Yep, I'll be going to George's on Peabody Square. Guinness and some Corned beef (Irish-American food) without all the idiots drinking green Miller Lite (bad) carbombs (offensive) or black & tans (really offensive). Otherwise I'm at Slainte where you can get good Irish food and drinks anytime.
I'm going to be consuming green beer this evening: I still have one Oxford Organic Amber left in the fridge.
How was the concert? I bet they were great!
