I'd Believe That Milkshake Could Do That...

Oh, St. Patty's Day

I believe this falls under the category of "ironic."

Half good advertising; half too-true to be funny...

We went Sabatino's for dinner, which was really, really, good! REALLY!

It's been really beautiful in Chicago the last few days. Pretty much since Monday. And, it won't be good again this weekend apparently. Oh well...

I use to think the other side of this building was hideous. Was there a discount on all building supplies as Home Depot and the architect just had to use everything?

When did public art turn into "meaningless crap." Let's see... Not the Egyptians...
Not the Greeks... Not the Romans... It wasn't the Renaissance... Not the
Enlightenment... It wasn't during Colonialism... Not around the Civil War... Still
decent during WWI. Great stuff by the WPA during the Great Depression... Ah,
here we go, since WWII. Post war America, what were you thinking? The the war
shock the aesthetics out of you? When will you recover?

My grandpa had this cookie jar. I can tell you, he didn't pay $375 for it.

AMAZING

That's all...

Southside Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade!!!


Creepy little fella, ain't he?


A couple mounted police protecting the interests of BP gas.


Megan looking at the mayhem


Noah seems a bit overwhelmed.


Frances and Noah beginning to celebrate Chicago's Southside St. Patrick's Day Parade


Just a few of the hundreds of thousands of people having a good time.


Iconic


A lot more of Chicago's Police State made it's presence this year.


Did you know there's a parade going on?


These cops are actually arresting people for drinking. Now, look at this picture. EVERYONE IS DRINKING. Even the police are drinking. They are drinking at a drinking festival. People come here, pay money, move to Chicago, and make a life and economy based on this fact. Yet, they still arrest people for it...


This guy is talking to the cops saying "ARE YOU SERIOUS? You are arresting them for drinking? What about the other 300,000 people around here drinking? What about the cops and firemen in the parade drinking? You have got to be kidding?"


This is what is going on right above the cops head. A three story building of partying.


Me and Frances making our obligatory stupid face picture.


MORE LEPRECHANS!!!


HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY RANDOM GIRL!!!


Channel 7 trying to get above the peons and little people of Chicago and pretend the Southside parade is something a bit more "classy."


No one did this at all.

A good time had by all. Got to see the parade, had some fun, watched some kids roughed up by the police. All and all, a great St. Patty's Day.
