Luke ruined the party for everybody.  Because the city has a stick up its ass, drinking outdoors - one of the only reasons to even go to the St. Patrick’s Day parade - has been limited to Crackhead Market Square and only between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in hopes to make it more “family friendly”.

Today, Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl announced a plan that keeps boozing indoors to make the event safe and more family friendly.

The city’s lax open-container policy is a thing of the past.

I’m sure the Mayor is just worried about getting too drunk himself and having another run-in with the police.

Ah well, there are better places to be than fighting traffic to get downtown.  And what better place than Claddaugh Irish Pub (South Side Works) to see the PG’s Bill Toland get his head shaved.  He’s even raised his goal twice from the initial $1,000 to $2,000 and beat the goal.
