You guys are missin out on a hell of a day, it's seriously probably my favourite day of the whole damn year.

Edmonton is a crazy, mixed-up and backwards place.
Hit up a University Bar man. St. Patrick's day at The Den is an Epic adventure.
I used to go every year, you had to be in there by 11:00 just to get a place to site and you'd camp out at your table until 2 or 3 in the morning.
Servers would come and go, thered be like 4 of them while you were at your table and you have to keep clearing your tab, so it never seemed that expensive.
But man was it an adventure, along with people you'd met once or twice in class, complete strangers would come by, everybody is hammered.
You could always leave 2 or 3 people at your table and run around the bar or go outside, cause mischief, break stuff and then run back into the bar and continue to get hammered.
So many good times. St. Paddy's day is a blast. But I have to work tomorrow so it'll be a couple pints of green beer and some Guinness and then home for me.

You could get killed for a stunt like that in some places.
Sometimes its all about finding the right location to really get to love this day.
Same with Keith's Birthday, you have to be in the right place, or it just doesnt quite work.
My sister is in freakin' Belfast. Lucky.
