CON Rocks Kildares Manayunk, while Meghan Rocks some new digs...

I gotta tell ya, this St. Patrick's day started off real sucky. Usually like clockwork all my friends show up at my place around 10am & we head off to the bar for lunch, drinking, and some good ol Irish Folk music. Not this year... All of my friends who were supposed to go, had to work. So here I was sitting around on St. Patrick's Day with no Beer in hand and no Specialty Corned beef sandwich from the rover. I was not having a good morning. Good thing for me, the Hibos opened around 1pm. I scooted over there thinking They would have live music & good beer cheap. The Good Beer real cheap was there, but they didn't have any live music and most guys were watching the NCAA Tournament.

At least I wasn't working, at least I was at my favorite place, on the best holiday of the year. Why didn't it seem so fun.... Wow I guess I may be growing up, this really sucks.

In any case the highlight of my morning was actually when the Wife dressed Meghan up for her first St. Patrick's Day. I had to share these photos since they are priceless.


Here's meghan & I from last night...



Here's one of my favorite Pic's of Meghan on St. Patrick's Day. Damn she is just too cute.



Talk about wiping your but with a Shamrock...


And last but not least here's one of Meghan wearing a Christmas present I bought her...



After the kinda shitty afternoon that I had I knew, things were heat up a bit out in Manayunk with CON. Well it sure did...

I tried real hard to get good Pics this time out, so I could add some for CON's website, that didn't work too well. I guess Pints of Guinness and Picturing taking don't mix. Ah well...


I do need to mention here, that the Band had played an earlier gig down in south Philly and I expected them to be kinda drained for this show. They were, Kinda. Frank's voice was almost gone by the end of night but they still completely blew this place out.

The highlight of the night was CON performing a flogging Molly favorite, "If I ever leave this World Alive." Which obviously has new meaning to me since my father's passing... I can rarely hear this song without thinking of him and crying, but it was beautiful. We started a Mosh Pit in the front, i'm surpired we didn't get tossed. It was great. Right after this Frank asked me, what did I want to hear?, and of course I replied, JAMES CONNOLLY. I beleive he called me an asshole or something to that effect before they ripped off the roof with it. Beleieve me, I have heard them play this song at least 50 times and this was absolutely the BEST.

Here's Leanne, Meghan, & my Beautful Wife Angela.


John Dolan & My Wife Dancing...


I was SO drunk, by this time, I don't know how this PIC came out, it's Ang doing the Hand Jive from GREASE...Priceless...
