This past Saturday, we went to Shamrock the Block in downtown Richmond. Of course, every year this event comes around, but neither of us had ever been before. We went right at the beginning of the event (we each already had plans for later in the day) and stayed for a couple of hours. Maybe that time frame isn't as much "fun" as it is later in the day, but we both had fun!
And you know, I was expecting to see many people dressed up in green, maybe even a few people dressed up as leprachauns, and then you have all of the green, mardi-gras type bead necklaces, but the beads are really shamrock-shaped.....but I never dreamed I'd see so many crazies in one place. Yes, I expected to see them, don't get me wrong, but there were some people I saw and I thought to myself, "you really thought you looked okay to go out in public? You're wearing shorts and a tanktop; your entire body is orange, but your face is white....?" Yes, I really saw a lady who fits this description! But, on to the fun stuff!
