St. Patrick's Day 2008!

So St. Patrick's Day was a fun and long day. Here's a somewhat quick re-cap: 10:00 AM (yes, that is AM) - Breakfast and Main Street in HamTown to allow for us to drink more. This is us pre-drinking: 11:00 AM - Arrived at Old Shillelagh in Detroit. While walking up to the entrance, we happen to see an old man passed out with a bloody nose. Looks as though he started pretty early. We got to the tent and started our drink on. Was able to make it upstairs to hear somewhat Irish music. Drinking then led the entire upstairs to chanting "We are table #1, table #1, table #1, where the f*ck is #2". This went on several times, I have video but can't make out the chanting too well. Pretty funny stuff. Here is what our table looked like at around 1:00pm: Next stop, Big Boy. For more food. Alcohol really does make you hungry. We need the carbs to soak it all in. 4:30PM - Pat O'Brien's to see our favorite bartender, Augie. There were no $3 PBRs this time for Mike, only Labatts and Beamish, haha. At this point, Eric finally joined us for some drinking fun. After only about an hour and half, Eric had caught up to where I was, drinking-wise, haha. 7:00PM - Royal Kubo, celebrating filipino-irish style. Hey, they had 2.50 guinesses and angels on horseback (which i don't recommend to anyone)... It looks good, but doesn't taste anything like it looks (as told by the boys). I was smart enough not to eat it. :) Spent the rest of the night at the kubo eating adobo baboy and pansit. Also karaoking it away.

Well it was a blast, but to be honest we were TABLE #6, #6, #6 (table 3 still sucks by the way). The shot around 1, was already after they partially cleared the table, and the angels on horseback is a very deceiving food. How can you screw up deep fried bacon damnit. Next time i'll order it without the oysters.
