St. Patrick's Day

Thanks to all my friends (and a few band members!) who made my last St. Patrick's Day in the States (for a couple of years anyway) an extremely memorable one. I'm actually glad I was here rather than in Ireland. The night went something like this...Gaelic Storm at the new Guthrie (amazing despite the slightly lame crowd) followed by Kieran's. Thanks to Niki, I had my fifteen minutes of fame (and I think it actually was fifteen minutes...it felt that way anyway) when she told the band that it was my last week in America. Not only did they change Van Morrison's "Gloria" (they were a Van Morrison cover band after all) to "Sarah", later in the evening they MADE me get up on stage to sing "Brown Eyed Girl" with them. I warned them that I was no American Idol but no one seemed to care. Hopefully everyone had had enough green beer by then to forget that whole part of the night. I don't think I'll be signed to any record label anytime soon. Anyway, it was a super fun night and a great start to my farewell tour. Thanks again peeps.
