Please forgive the cliche in the title, I’m half Irish, so I can get away with it, at least today. It’s the St-Patrick’s Parade Day in Montreal and I’m in a good mood. True, my mood might be a little more surly by the time you get around to reading this, but no worries, by that time, yours may too.
I’m not sure exactly where I may end up today after the parade, but it’ll most likely be some place downtown after the cops stop us from drinking in the streets (usually happens a couple of hours after the parade ends).
I’ve already reported on Forget The Box that legendary Montreal drinkery (yes, spellcheck, I know that’s not actually a word – yet) the Cock n’ Bull is reopening a block from it’s previous location under the name of Le Bull, so I may very well end up there. If, for some reason I don’t, I will make a point of paying a visit some time in the near future.
I may start the celebration as early as 9am and take a friend up on his offer of Irish Coffee, but it all depends on when I wake up. In fact, where I end up is by no means certain. The one thing that is certain is that I will be searching out music like this:
Happy St-Patty’s Day!
