St. Patty’s Day Stats

2012 March 18

Wow. This was my second time playing St. Patrick’s Day as a musician, but it feels like my first. Last year, I was still teaching, and I only played an earlier afternoon slot.This year, St. Patrick’s Day became a very large event for me as a musician.

As a teacher, I used to share some notable stats from the career. (Example: Number of cups of coffee, number of papers collected, number of times I rapped during a grammar lesson, etc.)

I thought I’d share some stats as a musician on St. Patty’s Day: Learned 20 Irish songs in preparation (in five days). Played two gigs. Drove 95.2 miles. Sang for eight hours.  Drank one beer, a Guinness. Only had one drunken lady try to sing into my microphone. Got my first sunburn.

Hope you all had fun! I’m still tired!

My mom got us a shamrock plant yesterday. It's pretty awesome!

Got my first sunburn of the year, in March. This is also a very unattractive photo of my arm.
