Luck of the Irish

Once again the biggest St Patrick's Day parade in Canada was a stumbling success. It was hard to tell whether it was the green beer or floats that flowed more readily, but really it doesn't matter too much... it was all good. The group of us started our morning filling up on potato pancakes, waffles, ham, bacon and fruit.... oh ya, and a few strong shots of Baileys to go with sweet, sweet coffee.
After the parade it was finding friends on all three floors of Brutopia, games of pool at Sharx, and of course.... tacos ( sadly 49 cent tacos were canceled for the night because there was too much money making potential).
It became hard to find the difference between people on a party high or just plain mentally off. Perhaps a difference doesn't really exist. The highlight for me at least was 'interviewing' a random man on the street with my new friend Papie. This man ended up spending his 3 minutes of fame on my camera about the visitation of an alien mothership to Montreal on 7 November 1990. He ranted on about them coming back a number of times since - aparently they are very nice - and they will return again this year, but the exact date is classified. To keep you satisfied until then, take a look at the CBC series on that fateful visit. Stay green, and while the skies are empty check out the day's pictures in my photo album (some photots generously donated by Ashley).
