Ed Said #12

The band strikes up Hail To The Chief. President Scanlon enters the building. Confidently, he ascends to the dais, scans the crowd and clears his throat as he prepares to address the Nation. So shut the hell up and listen.

It is truly a a big weekend here at festival headquarters. Amid the heat of battle of festival planning such as trying to plan what goes where, who does what when and will the City really let us do that, we have several bits of news. Molly McCarthy, owner and operator of Molly McCarthy's Pub turned two this weekend. Best wishes to her, Erin her lovely mother, Brian her very devoted father (God bless his pointed head) and her brother Charlie McCarthy the dog. We have a new festival committee member who just arrived in the festival community. This committee member has taken the lead of a very new function around HQ. He is the inspector of fire hydrants, tree bases, squirrel patrol and keeping Danny's feet warm at night. Irish Fester Danny is the proud new owner of Dugan the dog. What a handsome lad he is too. Tall, big feet, one ear that stands straight up and one that droops down. Now that I think about it he sort of looks like Danny. Dugan some how got past security at the Presidential estate and had cocktails in the library with Barbara the First Lady. Again just like Danny. We are all pleased that he is so proud of his latest addition.
