As I was on my way to the Blue Coyote for the start of the pub crawl, I saw the house that Tim had talked about on the air this morning. It's a nearly 100 year old house that is being moved to save it from the Sparrow Hospital expansion. They picked St. Patty's Day to begin moving it! Imagine the drunks: "I saw a (hic) I say I saw a house moving down the street! (hic)". Clearly, Keith, the WMMQ Promotions Director, got to the house before I did...
This year is the third annual installment of the
PUB CRAWL!
Notice that the Sports Page and Moriarty's are crossed off of the Pub Crawl Passport. They ended up not participating in the pub crawl this year.
Many of the pictures here (the double ones) are in
3D! The basic idea is to cross your eyes and put the two pictures together as one. For more detailed instructions and help, stop into my 3D album!
On March 17, 1999, I joined up with Grand Marshall Tim O'Barron at the Blue Coyote, picked up my passport, and embarked on this years installment of the St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl! Deb was vacationing in
Philadelphia, and although he was keeping the remote broadcasts going, poor Dave was very ill and should have been home. I salute you Dave!
While at the Coyote, we ran into a TV 53 news crew...

and had an on air chat with Coyote owner Mike O'Leary and Nut House owner Dewey.

Off to Clara's to see some friends...

Photoguy taking the soap box here for a second. It just amazes me that some people will be so stupid. The trolley, owned by the Blue Coyote and donated as a free shuttle service for this night, was stolen. It appears that two stupid assholes took it for a joyride, during which it is reported that the driver's dog Jake, was let loose on the streets, and as many as two parked cars may have been hit. The trolley was later abandoned behind Omar's, where it was recovered by the driver, who continued on with his route. The police, who did not know that the driver had found it, pulled it over in front of
Stober's. A little confusion ensued as the driver proved who he was. Also inconvenienced
were the entire night of partiers who were depending on the shuttle for transportation to the various clubs. Now, obviously this was just a joy ride to the two assholes, who obviously are very selfish and inconsiderate. As Tim has often said, there's always "that one guy" who ruins it for everyone. This night it was those two guys. Oh, I know you're asking, and Jake the dog was found without incident.
The trolley back in service. |
Here's one of the staff at the Blue Coyote sporting one of the special shirts, showing WMMQ on the sleeves. |

These last few pic's are all
3D!
Back out on the trolley, here's a couple with Jake the dog.
All I can say is 'Go Spartans!'
xxx relaxes in the driver's seat while at a stop.
Is this lady eating cereal? I never noticed that when I took the shot, because (although it's too dark in this photo) there was another lady in the back eating something else...
This girl was our musical director, trying to get us all to sing the Wheel goes 'round song and such.
That does it for this years installment of the St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl. Hope you all had as much fun as I did! If you have any comment, requests, suggestions, or stories of your own to add, or you know the names of some of the people shown here, just drop me a line here!
