St Paddy's Day turned out to be a 4-day celebration... 
First there was ShamrockFest in DC...cold, wet & CRAZY!
(Carbon Leaf here)
This was one wet, angry & drunken crowd...
(Pubcrawlers, Icewagon Flu )
Then there was the parade in Baltimore...again cold & wet (not so crazy).
Finally spent St. Patrick's Day w/ a few pints in the afternoon @ An Pointin Stil in Timonium
...
......followed by an Irish dinner and a few more pints on Main Street in Bel Air.
(
I have one gripe about the Bel Air pub scene that...where was the traditional Irish music? There were rock bands set up in tents at The Greene Turtle and Looneys? I guess this pleases some of the younger patrons, but I feel that this day should be rich in Irish culture & history. I say bring on the flutes, fiddles, bodhrans, and bagpipes!)
