Have a very safe day and remember to do at least one thing tomorrow. WAKE UP, hangover or not. Colorado is awash with events of the green kind, but big and small, mad and even completely against the grain. I even noted a few Anti-St. Patrick's Day shindigs.
The Fado Irish Pub hosts the most amazing event, likely up to 10,000 people, Guinness gig rigs, two tents taking up parking lots and all sorts of music including ourselves, two shows, one for the family style part of the day at 2:30pm and then the annual mayhem 9pm till curfew, which is 10:59 in Denver outdoors, we usually try to break the law by at least 1 second. The Denver parade ends by Fado. Getting there requires going down alleys and crossed the parade route twice, tricky enough.
Boulder has a big bash too, behind Conor O'Neills.
The Irish community in Denver will take a minute to remember one of our local greats, Mr Tom Conville, born in Boston Mass. and long the champion of Irish culture in Colorado. Tom was buried this week after 75 years of almighty craic. A founding member of the Colorado United Irish Society and many other Irish clubs and the only owner of an Irish pub back in the eighties in the Denver area as far as I know. RIP - A great man
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S.
