Uhhhh Parade

Well Happy St. Patrick’s Day to youse guys….

Marx and I did attend the parade but we were slightly late getting started this morning so we did NOT get a good spot and our pictures basically suck. Sorry guys.

Maybe we were stuck behind you? :-)

Anyway, if you want to see the few we ended up taking, you can check them out on flickr.

Dude, it’s almost St. Patty’s Day

Okay I would go to all the trouble to put up a big old list of all the St. Patrick’s Day stuff going on for Butte’s Biggest Holiday…..

But the Montana Standard went though all the trouble already. Just looking at that list makes me tired.

We will definitely be at the parade. Otherwise, I’m not even sure which events we will hit…. What events are you going to make sure to attend?

Being on Saturday will give the whole day a different flavor. Can’t wait!

St. Pat’s is Over, Cops Still in Full Force

Now that all of the St. Patrick’s Day festivities are over, people are just waking up and realizing they have a pounding headache. If you’re planning on fixing the ol’ hangover by going out on the town this afternoon, know that the Butte Police Force and Highway Patrol will still be going strong with as many officers on the streets as there were yesterday.

Have fun and be careful.

M&M Webcam (Having Difficulties?)

The Montana Standard’s webcam must be having some technical difficulties because it has been showing the same graphic for hours now. You can still see what it was like in there earlier today…packed!

Check it out.
