Tag goes Irish

Papa Tag sings for the assembled masses. If he could lose the last name he could actually pass for an Irishman.

Kathy

Sporting one of the more original hats brought with people. A good idea, since she was not attacked by the Budweiser 'Head Lizards'. (see below).

Picture
Jean

Trying to sneak around and blend in with the 3ft hat. What's scary is that as the night wore on, she was able to move about unnoticed.

John & Sally

They were actually almost unable to to get into the dining room. As it turns out this was not a major problem. (At least for John)

Karen & Bill

From the Seahorse Condos. Unknown to Bill is that another sneaky Budweiser Lizard has taken up residence on his head. While the Lizards seemed to be taking over for a while, eventually they were repulsed. (see below)

Heather

Poor unsuspecting child again under attack of the dreaded green Lizards

Jerry

Appears to have been completely taken over by the dreaded Lizards.

Mike & Merna

Mike wins the award for the "looks most like a true Irishman" contest. Later we found out Mike was an accomplished singer as well.

Joy & Vickie

From Austin & Duluth, Minnesota. Another fortunate person who brought their own hat. (as this seemed to thwart the dreaded Lizards.)

Kent

Islander who just bought a new condo. Looks like he figured out the "Island Irish" wardrobe requirement.

Jean

From upstate New York. Actually convinced over half the crowd Lake Champlain is a Great Lake. (I think that's a "great" lake.)

Jack

Another Island guest from Iowa.

A part of the Sea of Green. Paul came in for the festivities from Port Aransas..

There's barely a dry eye in the house as Mike does "The Green Green Grass of Home".

Billy & Jaimme

After a complete and thorough search of the restaurant, these nice folks were determined to be the only two normal people in attendance. Way to go, guys!

Victory is Ours

Finally the last of the Lizards is wiped out. (note his eye below the chair on the floor) !

His last words..."Louie, I'm telling you these Irish people are gonna pay!!"

Tag & Tony

Here in a touching moment after the evening is over, Tag puts his arm around Tony and says, "Great job. And NO you can't have my 'Kiss me I'm Irish' Hat!"

Picture
Richard

This photo was originally thought to be too dark, but upon furthur review, Richard was found to actually be well lit up.

By the way, he also won first prize in the Dr. O'Seuss look alike contest.
