ST. PATRICK'S DAY 2013
The Geezers were out again on Sunday, March 17, to celebrate St. Patrick's Day at The Grille on Waterloo. Some of us also celebrated it on Friday, March 15th at Kevin O'Bryan's with Callahan & O'Connor, and we met for our Geezers Nite Out to celebrate it at The Tilted Kilt with the Kilt Girls in No Canton on March 13.
Below are pictures taken at all three of those events.

This is LYNAE. She was one of our bartenders at The Tilted Kilt for our meeting on March 13.Here we have S. B. posing with LYNAE, and some of the other Kilt Girls. He told them he was celebrating his B-Day even tho it was in January.And here are some of the other Kilt Girls who just happened to be walking by when I had the camera out. Now we switch to Friday, March 13 when SPIKE, R. B., and I were down at Kevin O'Bryan's watching and listening to the best local Irish band CALLAHAN & O'CONNOR. Also in the band is one of the finest local singers and musicians, RITCH UNDERWOOD. He is most noted for the Kent State Measles, and Monopoly.And here is SPIKE. He gave me a call Friday morning, and told me where he was, and TOLD me to Come On Down. He had to twist my arm, but I DID!Here is the band performing one of their most controversial Irish tunes. Leading the way is lead singer PAUL CALLAHAN, really getting into it. The song is so racy I can't even publish the title. And here is a celebrity guest singer, IRENE. If you have ever heard a number of Irish bands you will remember her from the great IIRENE & The IRISHMEN. She was very popular down at Tangier's in Akron in the Cabaret Room. it was great to hear her.We were pleased to see a friend of The Geezers, and the Phantom Band, KARLA. She works at Goodyear and that is where we got to know her. It was good to see her. And here is my good friend RITCH UNDERWOOD, dressed for the occasion with R. B., not dressed for the occasion. R. B. came from work, and Ritch played in the band. We have mutual friends from Kent bands.And now it is March 17 at The GRILLE on Waterloo. They were offering a Free breakfast starting at 9:00AM. Here is a pic of my plate.Here is SPIKE and MR. LOBBER also enjoying the breakfast. We were joking that other than the Egss we didn't know what it was, but we didn't question it since it was FREE!This is AMY, one of the bartenders for the day. Amy was here when this place was formerly The TAP HOUSE.And here we have AMY again with RUSS, Owner, Cook, and Bottle Washer of the new GRILLE on Waterloo. Russ opened one of the first SCORCHERS in the Akron area in the same location many moons ago. This is a picture of my (JOEBO) glass. It was a plastic glass with colored flashing lights on the base. Pretty cool.KRISKO joined us for a few hours. She was heading West to meet her Sunday group in Fairlawn. She was dressed for St. Patty's Day that just happened to be on a Sunday this year.And here is S. B. (Skinny Boy) who joined us LATE. However, somebody had to do it. The Geezers' had their money on ME. Ha!This is another one of the bartenders, APRIL. But she was not just ONE of the bartenders. April was a bartender at the first Scorchers that RUSS opened. A few of the Goodyear guys got to know her quite well. Some of us are going to go back to see her sometime. We want to thank these two lovelies for taking the time to pose for a picture. I think they work for WKDD who was there for a few hours passing out prizes.And here is one of my (JOEBO) Alfred Hitchcock moments. I take the pictures, but hate to be in them!Here is a guy who was nice enough to pose for a picture. However, this picture does not tell the whole story. He was really lit up. And I don't mean by the green beer. Everything you see green on him was flashing. It was not picked up by the camera. Here is another St. Patty's Day customer enjoying the day. He was nice enough to let me take a pic.These three girls were very kind to the Geezer letting me take a picture of them. They were having a good time. One of them was a little spunky and wanted to try on my St. Patty's Day hat. She wears it better!Here is our Entertainment Director R. B. reluctantly wearing the wig I bought for St. Patty's Day fresh out of the bag. I got it for anyone that wanted it. We thought R. B. NEEDED it!SPIKE ended up with the green wig since he left his in the car. It has seen too many years. I'm not saying that SPIKE had too much to drink, but when he first put the wig on he was wearing it a little LOW! Our Class Clown (R. B.) was at it again. He has a habit of writing love notes to the bartenders (Female) indicating that they came from someone else. Usually S. B.
