Fairies on Parade

A noontime start consisting of about 3 liters of beer and a hip flask of screech make for a great st. patricks day parade. Conor and I had ourselves a good hearty breakfast and then hit the parade in full force and eventually made our way up to the front of the crowded streets where we could get some good yelling in and help Kate take pictures. Good floats were rewarded with Wahoos and bad floats were booed. I had to calm Conor down when he started yelling at kids (even if the little boy's flag really did say Future Queens of Canada). Its a pretty wild scene with all the rowdies on the street just drinking (250 000 people there, not all drinking obviously). Cops lets it all go down peacefully between a certain few streets and its weird to walk by cops with two beers in your hands. After the parade the crowd got dispersed into a parking lot close to a street of bars and one bar had a balcony and a wicked snowball fight started up. I got some monster crowd roars when I started sneaking up from the side and lobbing monster snowball bombs up and over. It was hillarious. The cops didnt think so but nobody got in trouble. During a weird one minute interval though walking back from the washroom a girl tried to make out with me (then blew me kisses when I told her I am unavailable) then I got invited and dis-invited to a toga party in a hotel and then had a cop pull out his cuffs right beside me and throw some punk in them. The street party was pretty good, the people were pretty drunk and the action was pretty decent. Saw a dual shirts off street fight too, pretty tough. Not a bad day at all but between consciousness though my day was ruined when fat gut furby took the brier again. Damn him, I hate NS but I still was rooting for them.
