My friend is out of her mind--St Patrick's Day parade

Each year there is a parade for St Patrick's Day over in Seaside Heights. (Think Snooki and the show "Jersey Shore") Honestly most people don't even go for the parade but to drink all day at the bars in town. Believe me I spent many of my younger years doing just that. Anyway last year I agreed to go over for it with a group of people including my good friend at the ripe old age of 47. It was awful. The place we were at was beyond packed, there was nowhere to sit, and it was freezing cold. I lasted 2 hours and then bailed and took an Uber back. She texted me yesterday to ask if I was ready for Saturday. I was like HELL NO! Hospital visit or not I'm not doing that again. I am way too old. If I wanted to go out partying I would not do it there on that day. I have a picture of us from that day but they don't seem to be loading at the moment. I'll add it later.

When you said freezing cold, that would do it for me!

We're well and truly over those types of celebrations. The village is taking a busload of residents on a surprise picnic for St Pat's Day. We've bailed out of that too.

That sounds like an absolutely awful idea.
