So what are you all planning for this year? It's a monday which means university from 9-5 the next day for me, however its two of my friend's birthdays, so there's no way im missing out. i plan on being in the pub with my first guinness by lunchtime once my classes are finished for the day, and just seeing where the day/ night takes me.

post your plans/ stories/ photos/ music/ anything at all relating to one of the best days of the year

i second this.

My school closes down a street right near campus and lets students party on it for the day. Generally it is packed by 11 around six it empties out and everyone goes home and has a nap and then wakes up and goes to the bars, more drinking all night.

Good Canadia... errr I mean Irish fun.

Hopefully what I did last year with the exception of number 3:

-Get drunk on the T (purple line if you are a Boston hardo) into Boston

-Get drunk in Boston

-Get drunk in the bars in Boston

-Bother people on the T on the way back.

Should be fun.

I've heard the celebrations aren't as crazy as here and they celebrate it more like you would Thanksgiving, with a family dinner and such. I could be wrong though.

No, it's not. It's the commuter rail. The colored line names only apply to the subway and for some reason the silver line. It's not completely incorrect to call it the purple line, but if you call it that then you might as well start saying you're shipping up to beantown. That way everyone can be certain that you aren't from Boston, or even Massachusetts.

You don't hear people calling city buses the yellow line, do you? Same concept.

eh..its still the T because its run by the MBTA, it's just not the subway

I agree with you on all other points though

^bombo the people there are insufferable, it's like going to the zoo and watching gorillas fight each other - still highly amusing

I watched some girl kick a guys teeth out last year. Teeth went flying, blood spattered on a brick wall. Everyone was hammered past the point of being fun, fights everywhere, people throwing stuff, cops constantly having to push you out of the way to get to stuff. I will never ever go back to that pit ever again .

And if anyone on here lives there I truly feel sorry for you.

Judging southie on st patricks day is like saying Foxboro is the busiest town in new England because you visited one time during a pats game.

depends entirely on what part of southie you're in.

One of our pledge's parents are going to be out of town for the weekend, so we're going to throw a rager in his house. We just need to find somebody to buy us alcohol.

I was going to say you should be drinking irish car bombs in the 10 minutes between classes at the campus bar! Or beer in a thermos. Keeps it cold...

I took the orange line in once and not only saw a fight but also saw a homeless man piss in his seat.

As for Southie, probably gonna steer clear. I tend to get a little agressive verbally when im drunk so it probably wouldnt be the best place for me.

If any of you Boston kids or any NSers are going down there we should try to meet up, nothing better than meeting fellow drunk NSers.

I plan on doing what I did last year, which was making a ton of green jello shots for everyone and drinking too much. Unfortunately I will need to nurse my hangover while at work the next morning but o well, can't have everything in life.
