Well we are at kitty Mulligan's here in Beijing where the party has been going since eight this morning. We've got the irish music on were decked out in our green and all the other shamrocks and leprechauns in every which direction. And I have over to my left here. Evelyn Anderson, who is the manager here. She also is from Dublin. I've fallen in love with her beautiful accent here Today, Evelyn, you know you guys opened last year, you were telling me a week before ST Patrick's Day, you had to be at 50% capacity. I'm just wanting to know how this year is comparing and I'm hoping really, really good, really exciting day for you because every table except for this one that I'm looking at is reserved and that's just for your lunch crowd. Exactly. We're just hoping everyone will come out. Um Make up for lost time. Really. You know the past two years, we couldn't do anything. Um all the reservations people are looking to get out and celebrate. Um just come down and have a great time, corned beef and cabbage shepherd's pie, fish and chips. Um just have a great time and have some fun. The bagpipers, irish dancers. So yeah, just looking to celebrate. Finally, finally is right. You know, they aren't the only ones feeling this excitement. Their customers are as well, you know, you're looking at right now and the Elliotts, they are from bayshore, enjoying the first, the very first day kegs and eggs, plates this morning. They came in and told me that they actually haven't really left their condo in about two years. That's because of Covid this holiday. They said it's all about going big. They were the first ones in the door at eight this morning and they have several parties that they were headed to after enjoying their breakfast of course when you're in your middle eighties and you go into a breakfast in a bar, you know, At 8:00 AM, this is a new adventure. Tell our grandchildren will not be surprised at all. They know we do a lot of crazy things we have to make every day count because we don't know how many more days we have, they weren't the only ones that were in early. Bill Sawyer said, his friend called him at 4 30 to get ready to come and celebrate. He said what being irish is all about, Just friendship, you know, camaraderie, all the good things and if you didn't get here for kegs and eggs, That is okay. Remember the party is going into the evening and maybe even beyond, they've got the full irish menu as she mentioned before. The irish step dancers and the bagpipes. Lots happening, lots of excitement, A whole lot of fun. I'm gonna send it back to the studio, Happy ST Patrick's Day.
