Wow, I had forgotten to blog about these all semester! I have gone to several events and each will be detailed in it's own blog post so here is the first.
Shamrock Fest! As an event this was pretty awesome. A huge group of people were there as to be expected with any DC101 event. This was a celebration of the Irish culture and what that means in the US. Which is a complex way to say lots of good food, good beer, and good music. All of the bands there were rooted in the celtic tradition, and had a sound that was reminiscent of Ireland but was unique to each band. For instance, the Dropkick Murphys headlined and kicked ass with their signature hard-driving Boston celt-punk. Immediately preceding them was Carbon Leaf, a celtic/folk/rock band from Virginia. Each band was unique and the experience was something else entirely.
