I went down to Irish Fest yesterday and as usual I worked at the booth for McBob's. Any of my readers who have ever been to the bar probably have an idea of what it is like working down at Irish Fest with them. A bunch of loud drunk Irish people downing beers and shots of Tullamore Dew. Its a good time. Throughout all of that they are usually the second highest food vendor at the Fest and last year sold just under 2 tons of corned beef.
Irish Fest is the only ethnic festival I make notice to attend, its usually a good time. This year it was raining a little bit and it was interesting to see everyone freak out so much. I'm pretty sure it rained for 30 straight years once in Ireland, so I would think these Irish people wouldn't mind. It was a nice day out and was barely raining yet you saw people covered in raincoats and carrying umbrellas, people running from cover to cover. I was walking around in jeans and a shirt, no worries. I even walked to and from the venue. Whatever.
One thing that does bother me is all the people wearing various "Irish" t-shirts like: "Kiss ME I'm Irish" "Fight Me I'm Irish" or "I'm Hungry for Potatoes." I did see one t-shirt that was subtle yet humorous; "Raise Your Glass and Swear." Straight and to the point. There was also some Irish toast on the back but I could not read it.

Unless its raining whiskey or potatoes the Irish want no part of the rain. Also what is even the point of this post besides slandering my people? Oh wait never mind.
Who says it was raining whiskey? I think a potatoe storm would be dangerous.
