Roosevelt Island had it's own flash mob event a couple of years ago with the MP3 experiment - remember that?

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all the Irish and those who want to be today, but, as Great Big Sea warns, be careful of That Old Black Rum.

Great Big Sea is a Canadian Band from Newfoundland and one of my favorites. Hope to see the boys back in New York City soon.

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Celebrate with The Dubliners great performance of Irish Rover.

Today, everybody is Irish but remember the Corrigan Brothers declared that There is No One As Irish As Barack Obama.


You Tube Video of No One As Irish As Barack Obama

The Irish Times on St. Patrick's Day at the White House.
ANALYSIS: Ireland will have extraordinary access to the highest levels of US government today. Brian Cowen will meet a US president whose politics and world view are much closer to contemporary Ireland than his predecessors, writes DENIS STAUNTON .

THE ANNUAL shamrock ceremony at the White House has become such a familiar fixture in the political calendar that it’s easy to overlook the extraordinary and unlikely nature of today’s events in Washington....
UPDATE - 6 PM - President Obama hosted Taoiseach Brian Cowen at the White House this afternoon. According to the White House blog the President remarked:
... Now, before I turn it over to the Taoiseach, it turns out that we have something in common. He hails from County Offaly. And it was brought to my attention on the campaign that my great-great-great grandfather on my mother's side came to America from a small village in County Offaly, as well. We are still speculating on whether we are related...
Here's a fun drinking song for St. Patrick's Day from one of my favorite bands, Great Big Sea singing The Old Black Rum. Enjoy.
