My crazy weekend with the drunken' Irish started on Friday night. I arrived at The Green Briar Irish Pub around 8pm. After a 45 minute wait in line that trailed down the block, I was inside the doors ordering my Guinness. Luckily I had some friends that had started partying earlier in the day and had a table waiting when I arrived. It was a great time and I don't think I've ever seen that much green or freckles in my life.

On Saturday night I was lucky enough to have tickets to a sold out Dropkick Murphy's show at the Avalon in Boston. I got there after the first opening band and made it through the doors just in time to catch The Explosion. This was my third time seeing these guys and they never let me down. I was however kind of bummed that the crowd didn't seem too into them. Dropkick put on an awesome show and even mixed in some cover songs for the crowd, that started with the Rod Stewart hit 'Maggie May', continued with 'Teenage Wasteland' by The Who, and ended with some AC/DC 'T.N.T.'

The weekend also marked the sixth month since I moved here from Central Pennsylvania. It's been a great time so far and it's crazy how fast the time has gone by.
