Just back from the look St. Pat's ceilidh downtown -- our Scottish society marched in the parade this afternoon, and had an information table with the Irish society on the square before the parade. There were only about five of us in kilts today. We got a few "nice skirt" comments, but other folks seemed interested and friendly.

Our St. Pat's parade really isn't much of one -- just a bunch of folks painting various body parts and/or household pets green and marching through downtown. The Irish society led the parade, followed by our Scottish society & our piper, who was drowned out by the "grand marshalls" in a flat-bed truck, a local "eccentric" music band that would play louder every time our piper would start to play! :x

The Ceilidh was all right, but most of the crowd didn't seem interested in the music. I was asked to tell a story, and it did help that it was prefeced by "The Scotsman" song, so I had a lot of ladies paying attention whilst I told the story of the Devil's visit to Castletown House in Co. Kildare! :mrgreen:

Cheers,

Todd
