Sounds good to me! Here in the USA, St. Patrick's Day is a big celebration and, in the major cities, Chinese New Year and sometimes the Cinco de Mayo (May 5th, not five jars of Hellman's) where there is a populaton of Mexicans. Independence Day on July 4th brings parades, fairs, barbeques and, or course, fireworks and we Americans are not at all reluctant to celebrate. So, as long as I can take a leek on March 1 to celebrate with the Welsh, I'm only too glad to add April 23 to the list of celebrations! Not that I need any excuse to have fun, but all these dates help to make it part of the plan.

Have to see if I can find a pub, or at least a bar serving some decent English brew when I go to NYC tommorrw. Have a great St. George's Day, everyone!
