Be An Informed Consumer

You'll have decisions to make at Irish Fest next weekend. Big, important potentially life-changing decisions. Which bands to hear. What workshops to attend. Saturday or Sunday night comedy. Or both. But perhaps none looms larger than this one: where to buy that next cold beer.

Oh sure, you could just go to the closest tent or the one with the shortest line. But that's not you. You're more thoughtful, more introspective than that. You want the facts, you want all the 411 necessary to make the best possible decision. You didn't get where you are in life by making major choices based on things like the length of lines.

You know that all our tents, save one-staffed by parents and friends of the Junior BLues Rugby Club-are staffed by groups of parents and friends of local Catholic schools. You know that they'll all share a percentage of total sales and take home 100% of their tips to help benefit their respective parishes or organizations. You know they're all worthy, and staffed by lovely people who have given up their weekend to make sure you stay properly hydrated. So which one to choose? If only you had something more to go on. If only you had...commercials.

Ta-da. We have what you need. We asked all the schools and the Junior Blues Rugby Club to put together quick videos to make the case as to why you should patronize them over all the other tents. Will this be a tough decision? Absolutely. But at least now you're armed. Armed with knowledge, which is the most powerful weapon in the world. Except a huge missile or a giant robot with death-ray eyes. I would totally buy beer from a giant robot. That would be awesome. I wonder if any of them have robot servers...

St. Francis is getting my biz because they have a purpose for the money they are raising.

But St. Peter's has the handsome cool priest, Fr. Rocha. (And Father Cook isn't too bad either.)
And I hear that St. Peter's will have a sign up
"Free Beer - tomorrow"
