Since our time as roomies here in the big city of Chicago we have had few experiences that could measure up to St. Patrick's Day. We kicked off the festivities the weekend of March 11th by going downtown to witness the dying of the Chicago River and the parade. We almost missed both of these traditions because they are the weekend before the actual holiday.
The next Friday, March 17th, was St. Patrick's Day. Suz came into town and I took the day off so we could celebrate properly. While Chels and I cleaned the apartment Suz took on the tough challenge of finding and picking where we were going to celebrate. After the cleaning, we all got ready and I have to say we were looking pretty festive, all decked out in green and wearing our beads, ready for whatever the night had in store...or so we thought! It's a good story but against my better judgment to publish it...
We decided upon a pub in the Wrigleyville area called the Mystic Celt. It sounded Irish and by the line outside when we arrived we knew we were right, this was the place to be. Thankfully the lined moved quickly and we were inside where it was nice and warm within a half hour. Needless to say we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. St. Patrick's Day 2006 was proclaimed successful!
