St Paddy's Festivities :)

The weekend before St. Patrick's day they have a parade out here because its not a public/bank holiday. There was a proposition during the elections attempting to make St. Paddy's Day a public holiday...i work on a schedule where there are no such thing as holidays, but I'm guessing the prop was unsuccessful as others had to work. Anyway I checked out the parade...well what was left as i arrived somewhat late. The parade was over but there where irish food stands with the attempts of Irish cuisine, gazebo's with booze flowing (they were cornered off...san francisco is changing...on event's like this you could just drink publicly), Irish bands singing christy moore songs and stuff and a little man wandering around selling 'lucky irish beads' which were clearly just mardi gras beads...anyway alot of green was to be seen as you'll see in the pics below...

On St. Paddy's day however... it was a 'neighbours'(Rodrigo/Ro for short-he lives in the building...) birthday so a little party was happening in the kitchen that evening...i had the late shift...so i was kinda late...i wasn't really in the mood to party but i had a beer (it wasn't green) of course...and that was that :) It was fun...check out some of the pics from this below too :D
