The 3rd Annual LEPRECON Saint Patty's rampage is upon us!

This Saturday, March 17th please join Patty the Leprechaun, Spanky O'Monkey
and whomever else is feeling the green…
If you have not attended before, this is something like Santacon in Green or
as any other Irish, Gaelic or Celtic critter. Be a Banshee, Faerie or a
red-bearded Leprecon. Be something completely different but come out and be
prepared to drink!!!

The SCHEDULE is a little different this year as Leprecon will be on ST.
PATTY'S DAY, March 17th (it is usually the week before). Yes, with St
Patty's on a Saturday for the only time til 2012 the convergence is too big
to ignore… Thus the schedule is:

10am: Meet by CENTRAL PARK (59th Street, East of 5th Ave across the street
from the Plaza Hotel)

10:30-1pm-ish: LEPRO-PROTEST of the St Patty's Parade… At 10:30 we will
move to the Protest Corral at 5th Ave betw 58th and 59th streets for the
second annual "Lepro-Protest" of the St Patty Parade… Come watch the parade
as "Leprechauns Against Boring Parades" in protest of the fact (yes it is
true) that the parade organizers – The Ancient Order of Hibernians – do not
allow Costumes (or gay groups) to march in the Parade. Under the flag of
"Artists for Inclusion" please join us and bring mock-serious protest signs
to waive at the battalions of cops, veterans, firefighters and random
political groups who march by. The hilarious part is that everyone in the
parade loves us but the Hibernians get really angry when the marchers "break
ranks" to come take pics with us… At 11am sharp, every major NY area
politician marches by so DO NOT BE LATE or you will miss the incredulous
reactions of Mayor Bloomberg, Governor Spitzer and the Clintons! And
beware, not 100% sure where the protest corral is this year or whether they
will buy our "ruse" (as they called it last year) to get the best seat in
the house, but, if we are all there on time we will get a great vantage
point somewhere in that area. Look for the nearest protest corral or
any sign-waiving
freaks!

1pm-ish (or whenever we get bored of the parade or too thirsty), the Con
begins and will will roam the streets looking for bars that are not too
packed. The Carriage House: 219 East 59th Street (betw 2nd and 3rd Aves) is
where we went after the Leproprotest last year, but who knows what will
happen this year… (and we may stay at the parade longer).

ALL AFTERNOON: Adventure and Shenanigans
