Arthur's Day

Today was the 250th anniversary of Guinness, which began in 1759. As you can imagine, this is a fairly big deal here in Dublin. The Storehouse was taken over by concerts and parties, and every pub in the city was filled with people who all held up their glasses at 17:59 (5:59 pm) to the man who started it all.




I'm happy to say that I was able to take part in the celebrations, here of all places. Good times today, all.
