    Atlanta St Patrick's Day 3-14-2009

    Let's get together for Atlanta's St Patrick's Day parade on Saturday, March 14. The parade starts at noon from Ralph McGill and goes south on Peachtree Street. We could meet at Woodruff Park at Five Points on the route to see the parade http://www.stpatsparadeatlanta.com/

    We can also meet later after the parade in Underground Atlanta, where the festivites will go on until 6 PM. http://www.underground-atlanta.com/a...ricks-day.html

    The Kenny's Alley Stage looks most promising of the choices of venues there.

    See you there!

    Hey, Gil. That's not a bid idea, but we always have a small town parade here in Conyers that I never miss. We'll have lots of corny stuff--kids, dogs, police car, firetruck, anyone who shows up, etc.

    It's only 2 half blocks long, then we all hit the local pubs to drink, lie, and plan a cattle reivin' expedition. There's usually a band in the street starting about 6:00 or 7:00, and it's just a low key affair with plenty of Guiness, whisky, and anything else.

    And you won't get mugged.

    Unfortunately, I have to make two presentations on Saturday morning and I cannot do it kilted. So... I will have to make plans to change and meet you down there at Underground around 2:00 PM.

    I will consider driving out to Conyers.

    I don't think I can make it guys - My daughter's play comes before all. If things change...

    That will work. They say the parade will be over at 1:30.
