‘Scuse Me, Miss… Can I Get a Beer Over Here?

At some point last week, I realized that Karaoke Apocalypse was playing two parties around St. Patrick’s Day, and that I didn’t have anything green to wear.

Any excuse for a costume, right?

I googled “St. Patrick’s Day costume” and found just what I was looking for at buycostumes.com. When it arrived two days later, Dave said, “It’s really green.”

Indeed.
It wasn’t until I saw the photos of myself that I realized I looked like a waitress at a really lame theme restaurant.And that became the running gag of the Karaoke Apocalypse show. Was I…

  • a beer wench?
  • a milk maid?
  • a specialty hooker?
  • a slutty leprechaun?

… or, as one dude said to Adam, our drummer, “You know who she looks like? That girl who was in charge of the salad bar at that place we used to work.”

Whatever.

I was super excited it fit when it arrived — the damn thing came packaged in the tiniest little envelope. And. It. Fit.

Maybe next year I’ll just go for a green “Kiss Me, I’m Irish” t-shirt.

    I’m pretty sure I saw this same get-up in Dinkelsbühl. Or Westendorf. I forget which, exactly. Anyway: H-A-W-T!
