Happy St. Patrick's Day!

What better finale could there be to Spring Break than a robust celebration of that most frolicsome of holidays - St. Patrick's Day! Eckles will be CLOSED on Saturday, March 17th, so that the staff can be free to dye their hair green and River Dance around the fountain.

We hope you'll be celebrating too, but please, PLEASE, I beg you, don't do anything foolish! Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

*Stripes and plaid never go together - even if they are green and it is St. Paddy's Day. Everyone has a camera on their cell phone these days and your friends will never let you forget this particular fashion faux pas.

*It is physically impossible to look "cool" while River Dancing. If Michael Flatley couldn't do it with stage lights and fleet of stylists, you can't do it either.

*A shillelagh is just a big stick. If someone offers to show theirs to you, you're probably going to get beaten over the head.

Be safe! And we'll see you all on Sunday (when Eckles is back to regular hours).
