Love

Carol, one of the sisters who run the fabulous swanky Snug, our private VIP area at Irish Fest, sent me this posting from Craigslist's Denver site:
Which brings up a point we don't stress often enough. Irish Fest is a great place to meet members of the opposite sex. Or same sex, we don't judge. Every year we hear stories about blossoming love inside our gates. A glance across the crowd at Eddie Delahunt's show leads to a sweet, awkward ceili dance which leads to a shared bag of fish and chips and late night comedy show tickets. You end up at the after party at Raglan Road talking into the wee hours of the morning. Before you know it, you're trying to work a wedding into Sunday Mass on the Terrace Stage.

So if you're single, here's what you should do. First, get the hotel room booked. You never know, right? Second, volunteer, because women love a man in uniform and men love a woman in authority. Third, invite a gaggle of your single friends to join you festival weekend. And fourth, don't be like the weak kneed poster of that ad up there. Faint heart never won fair lady and all that. Buy them that beer! Compliment them on their green afro wig. Laugh at their "Irish guy walks into a bar" joke. It'll make a much better story to tell your grandkids than the Craigslist one.

Um, hello? Don't forget about two for one membership Friday at the Snug - a place virtually designed for romance! The soft lights, music, catered food, wine..once you lovebirds do that Friday thing you'll be signing up to spend the weekend with us in the Snug (oh, except for that volunteer shift. And your wedding Mass).

Nothing says 'I think you're hot' or 'I love you' like the Boulevard Beer Chandelier hanging proudly in the Snug.

Oh, and please don't forget to volunteer! WE NEED YOU!

So, Carol's surfing the singles ads in Denver and, coincidentally, there's a Regan cousin getting married in Denver in the next few weeks. Not saying anything, Cee, just saying!

haha, well actually, DAVE ...I found that in a totally random way, and I am (sadly) not going to that Denver wedding. Not to say that I am personally against IF hook-ups.. KC, Colo., or wherever!
As we say in the Snug, what happens at Irish Fest...
