Here's the story - the folks at the St.Patrick's festival asked me if I would film the festivities from "my perspective". I said sure, so they hooked me up with a video camera and told me to go have some fun. Sounds easy enough?
Last night I started with a few pints at the Dame Tavern with my buddy Sean and his gang. It was shoulder-to-shoulder and a good bit of craic. This morning I went down to the Liffey and watched the Gannon Cup University Boat Race and then headed over to the parade route. This year's parade was based on the short story, "Brilliant" by Roddy Doyle (give it a read). Marching bands, singers, dancers... it had it all. Great energy in this town right now with so many people from all over the world enjoying the party.
Just came home to charge up the camera before I head back out. Perhaps for a pint or two? Here are a few videos...
