Episode 35: Chicago Gets Drunk And Dyes Its River

from The Blackout Diaries · host Starburns Audio

Stories from CJ and Sean about St Patrick's Day in Chicago. Sean talks about the history of how Chicago started dying its river and why no other city is crazy enough to duplicate that process. Chicago also spans St Patrick's Day into a two-weekend bacchanalia rather than celebrate it on just the 17th of March. CJ tells a story about the drunkest St Patrick's Day show he did in Chicago, which ended in two performers being banned from life from the venue and all crowd members insisting upon a refund.
