Such as, pre parade at Jimmy's Ice House; parade line up; who's going to bring the beer.
But if you like you can respond to this and I'll put you on the list.
Hope all can make it. "Be Irish for the day."

Re: Saint Patrick's Day Parade 2010
Driving the Dragon is fun and all, but I miss Skating Parades. I plan to do more of it. Thanksgiving was a blast, and reminded me what I was missing. Bring noise makers. I'm bringing a tambourine. Bring whiskey also. hahahhaha

St Patrick's day Parade...either meet up in the Heights with the reprobates that frequent this site and skate to town the morning of the parade or show up at the staging area for the parade. Check the first post in this thread for actual details.

Re: Saint Patrick's Day Parade 2010
Damn, no float, how do we carry Beers?? Hey I could take the New Woodie Float, and park it, and not use it in the parade, maybe.--- I want beers, all day long. Taking the Woodie seems better all the time. Park it under the bridge, do the Parade, then got Beers on Ice. No sound system though---yet. the Guys that took the Griffin, say they can hook it up for me. We shall see. the excitement is building. I'm nearly moist already. when is it again?? I better look.---OK, two weeks, plenty of time.

I now have Paul Screens "Woodie" up and running. It will haul all kinds of stuff. Just what we needed. the plans are to make that Chuck wagon out of it, like I've talking about all these years, but lacked a proper platform. Now we have one.

Got a case of beads coming. Hopefully there will be someone to tote them downtown! Don't think I can wear 840 strands of beads around my neck & skate at the same time!
