Dimitri - if you can find Pilsen, this isn't the tourist green-tinted
river, polititicians in limos deal. Not to mis-represent, it is still
a bunch of drunks. But we are all marching, not watching. We've had
floats catch fire on purpose and some, not really so much on purpose.
Boom boxes with the Irish Rovers and unicorns while the Mexicans in la
pueblita are coming home from church thinking, como se dice en espanol
"What the **** with these gringo?" Then they come to the after party
with the kids. Then they go home and come back with tequila and
menudo.

Saint Patrick's dream, I think. Never saw a snake.
