It will definitely cut back on hoosiers. Think about it - in years past, your average hoosier would load a wagon up with a couple cases of Busch cans and haul it down there. That same hoosier is not going to want to pay $3.50 for a beer. So they will stay away.

Good point, but you have to admit. It is so much fun watching hoosiers acting like total idiots, as long as it is tame. That is usually the case in Dogtown. It is quite entertaining. Btw, I saw a hooshier with a keg in a red wagon 2 years ago. I admit it, I know the guy !!

I don't think Dogtown has as many facilities set up... not official facilities, anyway. There were a few industrious folks who had PortaPotties on the back of a flatbed, for a price. I was actually in line to relieve myself, but some slick, glad-handing fellow slapped a couple large bills into the purveyor's hand and the line got bumped back. I appreciate ingenuity, but I opted to make the mad dash home. I made it. Can we seriously not control our bladders?

I think the cooler ban is because of underage drinking. I know I saw at least four separate arrests for minor in possession.

^ Isn't the cooler ban so that bars can sell more alcohol? Less competition, ya know.

did anyone go?

I dug the high school bands, tap dancing, etc but what was with the green waste management garbage truck at the end of the parade? I thought they were just cleaning up but I think it was actually part of the parade! LOL!

I just got a text from a friend reporting that they are charging 7 bucks for a bud-lite down there in Dogtown today. me thinks this new rule doesnt have anything to do with curbing underage drinking.

her next text said "Must...Drink...Slowly"

very funny! but also very sad:(

^ Your friend may want to drink faster lest her beer get wet in this rainstorm.

Anybody running the five-miler on Saturday?

southsidepride · PostMar 09, 2009#392009-03-09T14:42+00:00

^I'll be there! In fact I'm gonna run every night (unless we get some bad t-storms) this week to gear up

DogtownBnR · PostMar 09, 2009#402009-03-09T14:46+00:00

fyi, you cant bring your own liquor to the dogtown parade this year.

Where did you hear/read that? Do you have a link?

It really s*cked last year having to bring a giant mug and run up to my friend's backyard to fill up everytime I needed a refill. I would love it if they let us byob again. That was and should always be the case, tradition!

I'm trying to decide on whether or not to run in a kilt this year.

Carrieocity, ignore my last post..I misread your post as saying we CAN BYOB this year. My bad! They started the no BYOB thing last year. Thought by some miracle, they went back to BYOB. No reply necessary, thanks.

I havent heard much press/advertising about this event.

But I will be... walking it

Good timing too as I bought the tickets for my uncle and aunt who will be visiting St Louis for the first time.

DogtownBnR · PostMar 11, 2009#442009-03-11T16:16+00:00

Good news all (in my opinion). I spoke to a friend who knows the alderman in Dogtown. He spoke to him recently. He said that the cooler ban (BYOB ban) has been lifted for St. Pat's day in Dogtown. The Hibernians did not want to pay extra for checkpoints this year. I am sure nobody wants to advertise this, but that is what I was told, from a good source. SO, drink away!!!! From you own supply!!!

Why does COTTLEVILLE need its own St. Pat's parade?

doug · PostMar 12, 2009#462009-03-12T14:06+00:00

I have no problem with that. Fewer of them down here. Though the St. Charles AOH participates in Dogtown. So we have who matters.

So they can practice throwing newspaper machines through store windows closer to home.

"

That pretty much sums it up when describing the St. Charles/St. Louis County residents I know. It is that kind of attitude that leads to the never ending urban sprawl that is destroying this country's forests.

sad as it may sound but I do know folks who say "I haven't been back to Dogtown since they opened a Seamus McDaniels at Winghaven"
