It's the annual St. Patrick's Parade and drunken barn dance in FuHo today

WHY run a quote on drinking from Hoboken's own Frank Sinatra on drinking? Now you know why.

Yes police scanner radio fans, Hoboken is having their annual St. Patrick's parade replete with thousands upon thousands of out-of-town revelers, open bars and police drinking checkpoints. If any of you party nuggets are planning on attending this year's festivities please do not forget that FuHo balances their budget handing out open alcohol citations that run upwards of a couple hundred bills. Make sure you're not paying for civic improvements up there for drinking out of a paper bag.

We really think that Hoboken should invite Snooki to be the parade grand mashall/grand hussy. She would set the proper tone for today. If you're looking for something cheap and yet educational, around 8 pm through midnight take the 33rd St. PATH train that stops coming and going in Hoboken. Now just take a look at the people getting on a off. Make sure to take pictures (and send them to Johnny -- he'll publish them) for your memory book, Hoboken St. Patrick's parade day 2011.
