Dear Friends and Family,

Come March 13 it will be time to sweep away the effects of a long winter. It will be time for another O'Brien's Saint Paddy's Day Gathering -- a reunion of sorts.  We'd like guests from all our past Gathering locations -- Huntington, NY; Neu-Isenburg, DE; Campbell, CA; Utrecht, NL; and Lowell, MA -- to converge at this Gathering -- the 1st of the 3rd decade.

This will be a big one.  We've booked the top floor at our favorite restaurant.  We're finalizing bands.  We'll update this site, when they've been booked.  We're thinking a trivia contest may be fun.  For example, special prizes could be awarded to those who know facts from past events, including:

• On Long Island, what was in my pockets when I crawled into the limo, and who turned out the lights after that one?

• In Germany, who brought the "drinking to death machine", and who were the first four to try it out?

• In California, who wore sandals to every Gathering ever attended?

We'll mix in some general historical facts over the past 2 decades as well.

Please don't forget, hotel rooms are being held until only Feb 12.  After that it's whatever's available.  Because of catering arrangements, we're asking for an RSVP.  Looking forward to hearing from you!
