How'd you enjoy the Festival? I thought it was OK and
had a pretty good time. Couldn't believe there was no
Irish beer there tho. The bastards from Miller must have
kept them out. They did have something they called "Irish
Fest Special Ale" or something like that. Nothing more than
a Miller product they saw fit to re-name. Had to wander
downtown and find an Irish pub to get a Guinness. Wasn't
bad either.

The music at the Fest was pretty good. But godalmighty
I never seen so many plastic paddies in all my life.

Yep, sure did. Not having heard or seen them before I
wasn't really sure what to expect. They didn't draw a
very big crowd at the Friday nite show but the people
that were there were really getting into it. Even some
of the older folks. Which, considering their type of
music surprised me. Only saw a few folks get up and leave.
Of course the young teeny-boppers were bopping away and
having a grand time. I enjoyed them quite a bit but have
to say I liked the Saw Doctors better. They simply kick
ass. They had a much bigger crowd come see them on Saturday
nite. Glad I had a chance to see them.

That gives us another useful phrase : Bog do thóin (Move your ass) :-)
