Aside from a brief late-ish jaunt to my local The Glenwood, I personally did not dare leave the house on St. Patty’s Day (observed). I no longer have the constitution. But leave it to our own constitutional scholar Anthony Meade to get all the green goodness. He rode the Dougie bus all over this fair city with the boys and girls. I should have had him guest-write this column, now that I think of it.

Anyway, could you just die from Johnny’s adorable knit and beflowered beard thingy! Pin THAT to your board!

I did make it down to Berlin for Madame Envy and her Harem of Oddities. The odd part certainly shone through. My camera was even baptized in blood. Well, red paint, but close enough. If you want to get a good shot, sometimes you can’t be afraid to get in the splash zone. A crafty bartender quickly offered me a little club soda to help wash it off my lens. Is there anything club soda CAN’T do?

Also, thanks to Kyle Henderson for his coverage of DJ Moose’s Green Tea in A-ville at Mary’s. Sunday never had a more fun day!
