Friends of DOR DORO OTHY Metra's calendar of EVENTS, that lets you know where all the HOT spots are! o@aol.com By: AuntieM4Dor AuntieM4Doro@aol.com
"IRISH EYES ARE A SMILIN" (Thats because they’re blood shot and glassy)
Kiss me I’m GAYrish…no, really, do it! Saint Patrick’s Day or the Feast of Saint Patrick is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on March 17th. It is named after Saint Patrick, the most commonly recognized of all the patron saints of Ireland. Originally, the color associated with Saint Patrick was blue (Who knew.) Over the years the color green and its association with Saint Patrick’s Day grew. Green ribbons and shamrocks were worn in celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day as early as the 17th century. Saint Patrick is said to have used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. Christians also attend church services and the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are lifted for that day! Now you got my attention! So for one day during Lent you’re allowed to drink as much as humanly possible? Now I know why this is my fav holiday, and yours! We get to wear green silly adornments, drink green beer, and eat salty, fatty beef! “The Luck of the Irish” means extreme good fortune, during the gold and silver rush years, in the second half of the 19th century, a number of the most famous and successful miners were Irish and American both. Over time the association of the Irish with mining fortunes led to the expression “Luck of the Irish”. Of course, it came with a certain tone or censor, as to say only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these fools succeed? The luck of the Irish, today means, get drunk and then get lucky! Thank you Ireland for sharing your drunken heritage with us! Let’s check out all the Saint Patrick’s Day parties in METRA Land …ILLINOIS Chicago: BERLIN (773-348-4975), Tuesday, March 12th “Static” with Resident DJ Pete Augusta. Drink specials!
