happy evacuation day, boston!

i overheard two guys talking about it on the T this morning, and they got it ALL WRONG.

first dude: happy st. patrick's day.
second dude: happy evacuation day, too.
first dude: evacuation day, what's that?
second dude: well, you know boston, such a huge irish population...
first dude: ...huh.

what?? what was he implying, exactly? irish people leave to celebrate st patrick's day elsewhere? wtf. he didn't finish his explanation, just sort of left the other guy hanging in midair.

i wanted to walk over and be all righteously dorky and tell them all about the revolutionary war, but that's not really an acceptable thing to do, i guess. so i didn't.

but the fact that i thought of it during my normally sleepy commute just shows you how much ENERGY i have today. i am, like, bouncing off the walls. because today is also happy shamrock showdown day! and tomorrow is happy boston zine fair day!

maybe i should lay off the coffee.
so. excited!
