Fake St. Patty's Day

This Saturday we went to Fake St. Patty's Day with a big group of friends. If you are wondering what this is..well is basically a big town celebration/ block party the weekend before St. Patty's day that takes place in Aggieville (downtown area of Manhattan,KS where all the bars are located). This event started at 9am on Saturday but we didn't go out until about 7pm.

We started out with dinner at Houlihans with great appetizers and cocktails while we waited for our whole group (around 13 people) to meet us there. Around 9:30pm we headed to Aggieville (we decided to walk since it was only 3 blocks away and we knew parking would be hard to find). Well our walk there was pretty eventful. People watching during a block party like this is AWESOME. Once we got to the bar where there were more friend's waiting for us we had to wait in line for about 20 minutes to get in (every bar had a long line of people waiting to get in). Once in we decided to just stay there instead of bar hopping since it was cold out and we didn't want to wait in the long lines.

This was our second time going to Fake St. Patty's day but last year we just showed up looking for a bar and ended up finding a block party :-). So this year we were prepared with our green attire!
