Ah yes, my almost-favorite holiday. Those who know me know I usually spend the day on a liquid diet and listening to very loud and occasionally obnoxious music. Today, however, I did something obnoxiously adult and... got a new house. Because I'm moving at the end of the month. So... good thing that house worked out!

Jamie and Kellan, my surly hard partying Irish-American boy, from Nobody's Hero. Art by Astro.

But all the party is still there from years past, and I mean to listen to it now I'm home and relaxing with a whiskey. If you're in the mood for some Paddy Rock, check out the DJ Kellan tag at my tumblr for past years' selections. It's mostly Irish-American punky stuff, because Kellan, but there's also a few rock and traditional numbers thrown in.

And if you're new around here, you can also get a freebie about those two boys set on St. Pat's! It's called Grá Mo Chroí, and you can get it from:

St. Patrick's Day used to be all about the Party for Kellan and Jamie Monday. A bottle of Powers; a case of Guinness; random relatives and friends dropping in in taxis to do shots and listen to Kelly's beloved Paddy Rock all night long. The clean-up would take days, but it was all worth it for their favorite holiday of the year.

Then along came the babies. Rory and Shea are the apple of their dads' eyes, the center of their world... but not really party-friendly. Jamie and Kelly haven't had a night out in six months, though, so Jamie's mother offers to take the teething twins for St. Pat's. 

Except she turns up sick on the day of, and it looks like the idea of a super-dad date isn't in the cards after all. Not unless one of them finds a way, anyhow...
