Well folks, it's Wednesday. That means if you're going to be in the Chicago area for the festivities you have officially 2 days to get your outfit together for Saturday's downtown celebration or 3 days if you're aiming for the Southside celebration.
As I always say, go big or go home. My tradition is to attend both the Saturday (with friends) and Sunday (with family) festivities. So how to prepare for such a liver inundating weekend? I've given you all a guide below.
What will you wear? Some prefer facepaint, I prefer flags. Please check back for picture posts on Monday to see what I mean. Or, if you happen to see a midget sporting an irish flag as a tube dress, it's probably me!
How will you prepare your stomach? Take a hint from my frat daddy friends, and have a nice glass of alkasetzer at breakfast to kick off the day. It coats your stomach like a shield spell from Harry Potter.
Is there a way to carry on all day (and the next)? Indeed. That is why St. Patrick invented corned beef sandys. They are the perfect mix of grease/oil from the meet, the sauerkraut hydrates you and the bread soaks up the alcohol.
Where will I sleep? Why, wherever you land my friend. After all we are celebrating the Irish and that means being the friendliest people on Earth. However, it's best to have your phone locked, loaded and charged for Saturday in case the loss of one's keys occurs.
Well my friends, there you have it. What else do you do to prepare for St. Patrick's Day weekend?

Dude I am wicked excited about the weekend. I'm not Irish nor a huge party-goer but I will be at the river and tossing some back later that day.
I loooove the flag.
however, my favorite costume of choice that you have stumbled around in has to be the bumblebee costume.
no kitchen floor has looked better!
love you!
