Ireland Is a Very Merry Island!

Saint Patrick's Day! Behind Guy Fawkes Day and Savings Daze at the Sash Emporium, Saint Patrick's Day is one of the most beloved Hodgepodge holidays. We always look forward to our St. Patrick's Day show and this one was no exception. Sir Joseph, who swears that he and Lord Robert agreed to perform in Leprechaun costumes, and Lord Robert, who claims never to have made such a statement, spent a rollicking evening purveying the history of Ireland, detailing key Gaelic phrases, and teaching the crowd one of our favorite drinking games.
		Sir Joseph runs afoul of an audience member Full of liquid courage, Sir Joseph was quickly pummeled within an inch of his life. He still claims to have won. Click the pic to enlarge.

		It's true! For that evening, whenver anyone utter the word "snake", the crowd was required to finish their beverages and let out a hearty "DAMN THE SNAKES!" And drink we all did. It took 7 SWAT teams and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to put an end to the festivities. Our St. Patty's Day performance holds a special place in our hearts. There was drinking and fun and spiritual lessons based on the film, Ghostbusters. So, DAMN THE SNAKES, and we'll be sure to see you next March.
Well, lookie there! It's Kimmie and Jessica Coen! Kimmie is the designer who unearthed our royal crest and Jessica is the official Hodgepodge Videographer! Oh and Sir Joseph makes for a Fanciful Leprechaun.
