I celebrated Saint Patrick's Day twice this year: first at a parade and second on March 17th at a campus pub after class.

The parade was fun because it felt like a real community event with participants and observers all in high spirits. There was only one pipe band though I didn't manage to get a pic Those were the only other kilts I saw but people seemed generally excited about me wearing one!

Here's me with a couple leprechauns:


A better look at my outfit for the parade featuring the public debut of my New World Irish tartan kilt:
