    Irishfest In 22 Days

    Milwaukee's Irishfest, the LARGEST Irish festival in the world, is in a mere 22 days. I don't know about you guys, but this is what I live for.

    I found this song, and I believe it holds very true.

    check it out.

    If anybody else will be there, LET ME KNOW!

    If you're not planning on coming to Irishfet, you may want to reconsider. It's the greatest time of the year. Dare I say...better than St. Patrick's Day? Yes. Yes it is.

    If the festival is as good as the song it will be worth going to.

    I wish I could make it.

    I hope you are going to have your camera with you.

    That would be festive, especially since they are focusing on County Clare, one of the homelands of my people . . . ;-)}

    but alas, tis not to be.

    ...and as the clock ticks down to Milwaukee Irishfest, Greg tunes his pipes, AA wonders if an eight ounce sporran flask will be sufficient (one accessory that I realized I really need...didn't have one at the Highland Games and felt woefully inadequate!) and will be checking to see if my friends from Dyed In The Wool will be playing there.

    Damn...I really need that Winnebago!

    Best

    AA--pipes? in tune? haha, you obviously know nothing about bagpipes!

    Well that's one more kiltie...but we need more.

    People! I cannot emphasize this enough! Irishfest is the greatest time of the year! Not only will I be performing (that unto itself should be enough reason) but it is FOUR DAYS of drinking, dancing, music, storytelling, and history (aka, a four-day wake w/o the dead guy).
