It seems that Olivia & I had the same idea at the St. Patrick's Day parade last weekend---watch drunk people, interview drunk people, record drunk people. Many patrons already had quite a few by the time the parade started, which probably made them less nervous about talking to me.

One of the first people I met was fully decked out in full St. Patrick's Day garb (green top hat, green shirt, even a green kilt) and he was talking in a fake Irish accent which may or may not have been brought on by the day-drinking. So I asked him a simple question: Do you listen to B100 in Ireland?

Next, I bumped into a group of ladies who had no intention of stopping the party:

And, finally, I chatted with a new friends...and it took them quite a while to realize exactly what I was doing:

Everyone was in a great mood this weekend. The spirit of St. Patrick's Day was in full effect. I met a lot of really fun people and I'm already looking forward to next year!
