Houston International Festival

Every year Houston hosts an international festival, which is basically where they close half of downtown off, put up numerous tents, charge you a fortune for food and beer and have themed areas...ie different countries. it was a gloriously hot sunny day, and as ever, my good buddy Randi introduced this to me...she is the best tour guide ever i swear. spent a nice few hours basking in the sun and listening to 'world music'. unfortunately this years 'themed' country was ireland...so as with st patricks day here, everyone claims to be irish or have irish roots, and generally play on all the classic cliches....which actually annoys me a little how people have embraced st patricks day, non irish people i mean...not sure how it caught on but it riles me a little...maybe im just too grumpy, but i belive in supporting your home football team
