I was born on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. So as I've said before, it's kinda ironic that I now play Irish music. In fact, I notice a lot of synchronicity in my life these days. Like the fact that I wrote a CD called Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers and March 17th is also St. Gertrude's Day. She was the patron saint of cats.

But that's a side note. I wanted to talk about St Patrick's Day.

We usually have a few gigs on St Patrick's Day. Since I stopped booking, we now only have one or possibly two gigs on St Patick's Day, so it makes me wonder. Unless I want to actively try to book a gig, maybe I should look into having a St. Patrick's Day birthday party.

I've never been one to throw a party for myself. But someone has to do it. I want to play music on my birthday. I think of Ed Miller who has an annual birthday bash at the Cactus Cafe. Maybe I should do the same.

I mean, it's not like there won't be plethora of St Patrick's Day Events in Austin that people can celebrate on this Irish holiday. But for me? A birthday party? Hmm...

I'm seriously considering it, that's for sure.
