    The South Side thing has its points but the Downtown Parade is the main event. The only thing that could be problematical is finding a pub that isn't crowded. You've got Grace O'Malleys, Fado, Kitty O'Shea's (which I hear is in peril of closing in spite of it being in a major hotel and facing on Michigan Avenue)...I'm just trying to think of all the places Downtown or South Loop...there's the Duke of Perth and the Hye Bar but they're North on Clark Street...let's see what looks good, crowded though they may be.

    A great way to spend ST Pat's day in Chicago is to See Gaelic Storm at the House of Blues. This is the most fun band I have ever seen live. 2 years ago they played the House of Blues for ST Pat's day and they drank the bar dry of all whiskey. I think there are still tickets for sale. It would be nice to not be the only kilted one there.

    I need to see where the HOB is from where we are staying. We're on public transportation or cabbing it the whole weekend. Maybe we could show up.
