Green Night

This has now become a yearly tradition in Miami. Coral Gables, every year, on a day like today, which is St. Patrick's Day, closes streets around the downtown area (creating a traffic mess,) to host the yearly beer drinking, open air concert, food consuming, overall happy night for a lot of people. This is the food concession next to where I stood selling beer as a volunteer. If you come, it is universally understood that you cannot be a cheap skate. Almost everything costs US $8. Beer, fish and chips, chicken tender etc... Some grunted and hissed and complained, but they always shelled out 8 tickets (that's eight dollars) to get a freshly drawn beer: Guinness, Harp, Smithswick's or half and half; or a hot fried meal in a paper container. I was so busy collecting tickets and pouring beer I only had time to take one photo. Sorry not to have some shots of the beautiful people with Leprechaun outfits, but you can imagine what they might have look like, everyone with a beer cup in hand.
