This past Saturday I was an attendee of the Hoboken St Patricks Day Pardade. I know some of you may be thinking..Isn’t St Patricks day March 17th?.. well yes it is But March 6th is a day for Hoboken to celebrate its history, achievements, parade down their one mile long street, people of Irish culture to celebrate their holiday a little bit early and every one and everyone to get completely wasted. The things I saw this day were bizarre and outrageous to say the least

Remeber that game Dizzy Izzy, where you would spin you around on a baseball bat and then try, key word try to run in a straight line to the the other side to win the race. Well I have suspicions many people on this day were playing this game or just drinking numerous shots of alcohol. I saw one guy in front of me stumble for about a good 8 inches then plant right on his ass to the ground. On second thought maybe I should have tried to help him but we make decisions in life and often have to live with them

Some may see it as a blessing some may see it as a curse but this was the best day of the year weather wise so far, which I have a feeling led to much more havoc and ratio of people with shirts on to shirts off if the weather was just a bit colder

Hoboken enacted a rule that any type of breaking the law would result in a 2000 fine including Jaywalking, Public Urination,Disorderly Conduct and I don’t think they have this in the law book but trying to make love to a stop sign. Yes I saw a intoxicated gentleman expressing his love for that Octagonal beauty.

I must say this was quite a day, filled with love for ones heritage and love for ones beer. All in all I say the Hoboken Parade was quite a success. The weather was great, no one got too hurt for the most part I think and yes the trains were packed and it took 2 hours just to leave this micro city. I all urge you to attend the 2011 Hoboken Sh*t show… Parade next year

Thank You
