Tournament action is in full effect in Lexington tonight as you can find me (along with many others) huddled up at Harry's or some other equally exciting place with cold beer and large televisions. If you're out drinking tonight, have a designated driver, don't overdo it, and all that crap... but more importantly, don't drink any green beer!

Really, I'm serious... it's gross. Don't do it.

Which brings me to wishing a happy St. Patrick's Day to each and every one of you. Tonight is the one night of the year when we celebrate our love for the Irish by thrusting ourselves face-first into stereotype. We tell the Irish how much we care by putting on ludicrous green sweaters, talking like leprechauns and out drinking Henry Earl. Should the Irish be offended... well, when they stop doing those things on the other 364 days we'll talk.

So while you're out on the town tonight, take these few words of advice:

Drink plenty of water before (and during) your booze binge, you'll thank yourself in the morning.

If the room starts spinning while you're in bed, put one foot on the floor to even things out.

If you wake up with a total stranger, it's best to sneak out through the bedroom window, as you don't know if parents, spouses or children may lurk on the other side of the door.

Don't start drinking Irish Car Bombs just to be "Irish for the Day." They start off like a great idea, until you find yourself awake on your girlfriend's couch wondering exactly how in the hell you got there from the bar.

And finally... don't drink any green beer. Seriously... don't do it, it's gross.

On that note, I hope you all have a happy and productive St. Patrick's Day weekend and don't forget about the Millard L. Webb Film Festival taking place Saturday and Sunday at Meadows Manor from noon to noon. Hope to see you there!
