I bet this has happened to you. You're reading some nonsense I've written here on Tir na Blog and you think "that Regan. What an idiot. I'd like to throw a baseball at a target, triggering a mechanism that will remove the support of the platform upon which he sits thus plunging him into a tank of cold water in a humiliating public setting, such as a major outdoor ethnic festival in a midsized Midwestern city." Or you may have thought the same thing about former Irish Fest presidents Ed Scanlon or Bob Sullivan. Or current president Ed Follis. Or an Irish Fest performer like Jim "Mr. Stinky Feet" Cosgrove.

Dreams come true, friends. Those are just a few of the soakees who'll be taking a laking this Irish Fest weekend. It's all part of an effort by the Irish Fest Kids Club to raise money to bring fireworks back to the fest. The complete schedule and roster of aquanauts are still being worked out. But if you'd like to drop me in the drink, it looks like I'll be on the hot seat at 2:00 on Saturday afternoon and again at 4:00 on Sunday. If you'd like to buy me a drink, I'll be out of the dunk tank at 3:00 on Saturday and 5:00 on Sunday.
