Irish Flair

Irish Fest was today. The Tossers played the main stage as well as Wild Colonial Boys and they were both excellent. After having one Gueiness, a Finnegins, and a corned beef and cabbage egg roll (very good) I was ready to check out the Marketplace. Apparently, i should have done this earlier in the day. I ended up with a purse, a necklace, and a ring. I now have plenty of flair and there is no longer any reason for a complete stranger not to know that Irish is part of my heritage. But i must justify the purse. First of all, I haven't purchased a purse since this last Spring- I have shown great restraint all summer long. It also has lots of zippers and compartments, is a blue that will go with most outfits and has a design of Irish love knots, which I like immensely. After listening to the great music all night, I think I've decided that if I ever end up married, I will need to have Irish jigs, German polkas, maybe a drinking song or two, and some 80's tunes during the dance portion. It sounds like a great combination to me- but no live bagpipes.
