Oh, to have First World problems…!<\/p>\n
On a single day in March — Saturday the 24th — there are two happenings in Washington, DC that I want to attend, but I have time for only one. :-\/<\/p>\n
The first?<\/p>\n
Shamrock Fest<\/a>, a day-long Celtic rock\/punk festival at RFK Stadium. I went last year, saw bands like the Charm City Saints, Barleyjuice, Carbon Leaf, and the Dropkick Murphys, and had a blast.<\/p>\n The second?<\/p>\n The Reason Rally<\/a>, a day-long rally on the National Mall for atheists and freethinkers. I went to the Rally to Restore Santiy<\/a> on the National Mall two years ago, I am, of course, an atheist, so this is the kind of thing I would want to attend.<\/p>\n And they have to be the same day.<\/p>\n I can only attend one. And it’s not going to be the Reason Rally. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n You see, I’ve already bought my ticket to Shamrock Fest. I did that about four weeks ago, when they went on sale.<\/p>\n Oh, but I would so<\/i> love to go to the Reason Rally! If only there could be a transporter accident that could split me in two for that day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oh, to have First World problems…!
