St. Paddy'z Day is a Commin

We are less than a month away from my boyfriend's and so many other's favorite holiday,
St. Patrick's Day!  In celebration of the holiday the Center Museum will be throwing a party.  The Irish in me is proud to say that you will be able to hear some Irish Punk/Rock music in our Sculpture Court as you fill up on all kinds of Irish beer and whiskey.

Kick off your Paddy’z Day celebrations with the Leperkhanz.
[We are super excited to have the Leperkhanz play for this event.  They will be giving us an extra long set so save up your vocal cords and stomachs. Visit the Leperkhanz MySpace page to hear a selection of their music.  I recommend the song Black Tanz.]
Ticket includes tastings of a variety of Irish whiskeys and beers. ‘Dirt’ the Whiskey Master will lead you through your whiskey tasting and if whiskey isn't your flavor don't despair there will also be plenty of Irish beer!

Here are some images of how people around the world celebrate St. Patrick's Day. 

Chicago - They dye the river green every year.  It is pretty awesome, I lived there for four years during undergrad.  The Chicago river is a little scary year round, you fall in and expect a trip to the hospital and some shots [so I have been told].



San Francisco's St. Patrick's Day parade and celebration is among the largest in the U.S. The parade is the oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day parade west of the Mississippi, stretching from 2nd and Market, up to Civic Center Plaza where it culminates in an all-day festival celebration.
