It’s that time of year again, folks!  St. Patrick’s Day.   The day where everyone pretends to be Irish.  The day where blue food coloring is dropped into perfectly fine beer and Guinness is chugged by the gallon.  The day where the rookies come out of the woodwork and milk the shit out of an excuse to get wasted.

I am NOT a fan of international-holidays-turned-excuse-for-everyone-to-get-drunk-days.  I don’t chug Corona and wear a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo.  I certainly don’t deck myself out in green and drink Irish car bombs on St. Patrick’s Day. 

You know what I do?

I drink my weight in Jack Daniels.  Just like eeeeeeevery other weekend.

With that said, I figured I’d share some information.

Over in Jongno, there’s a St. Patrick’s Day Parade set to take place this Saturday.  It’s route either starts at or passes by Cheonggyecheon Palace, and it starts sometime around noon…I don’t know.  As I said, I’m not exactly invested in these festivities.  If you live in Seoul, are Irish, are pretending to be Irish, or are just looking for an excuse to get drunk (and really, if you need an excuse…), there you go.

You definitely won’t be seeing me there.  I’ll be holed up in a salon all afternoon getting my hair and nails did.  Why?  Just because.  The very same reason for which I drink!

Amen!
