Erin Go Braugh!

[mythteller]

It's that time of year again, steeped in tradition.

I have four traditions for this time of year:

1. Join my Angus and Kensington for a pint on the 17th of March.
2. Attend a St. Patrick's Day brunch.
3. Watch the St. Patrick's Day parade on the Sunday.
4. Go pub crawling.

This year, there are two pubs I definitely want to hit: the John Sleeman pub and the new Olde Orchard pub in town. This evening, I intend to consume without fear and go on a socializing rampage. Tomorrow will never come!

This is a mild form of what I used to do in my younger days. In the days of yore, I would start celebrating on the Thursday night and go non-stop until the wee hours of Monday morning.

I don't have that kind of stamina anymore, but I'm more than willing to hoist a pint to those days. If I cross you in the next few days, let's raise a pint together and sing of the old times.

Where's the new Olde Orchard?

It's on de la Montagne (between Rene and St. Catherine, I think)

The just sounds wrong, mind you - I quite like the Old Olde Orchard in NDG.

Does sound kinda weird, doesn't it? Funny that it never occurred to me until you pointed it out.

I love the Olde Orchard, but it's a bit out of the way for me. Downtown is much more convenient.

We went downtown for the parade...my first ever St Pat's parade. Froze our asses off too but had fun. Montreal knows how to do parades eh?! It was fun to dance and yell blow those stupid plastic horns with my kids in public as opposed to at home. :oD Wish we had of seen ya!
