Revelry Squared

Happy St. Pats. A day when amateur, belligerent assholes come out to revel.

We saw a 16 year-old girl, head to toe in green, crying and puking her brains out at 11:30 am in front of the deli. It went something like, puke, cry, puke, cry, puke, cry. Good times.

Happy St. Pats to my travel partner and only real Irish friend from Dublin, Adam Sherry. I'll see your face in Argentina! Werd.
