Ready, Steady, DRINK!

It's just before 9AM on the Eastern Seaboard and half of Hoboken is probably already drunk as Lepre-Con is back. While some of the more bawdy actions from say 3-4 years ago have been scaled back, one gets the feeling it just needs a really nice 65º day for it to maybe pop off again.

That will not be today. LepreConners will be inside most or all of the day as baby, it's cold out there and by tonight, well, it'll be colder yet.

This one should pass unnoticed by most police blotters hopefully, thanks in large part to Mother O' Nature.

Danger, Danger Will Robinson, impending Hoboken Lepre-Con tomorrow

Yes, we know they're not calling it Lepre-Con anymore but does anyone have a better name for what does and will happen tomorrow in the Mile Square City? Tons of drunken louts and loutettes wandering from bar to bar with a wristband that can cost, *GASP* upwards of SIX US dollars will be fuel to the drinking fire. Just about anyone selling food or booze in FuHo is open and catering to this though they'll say they're not catering to it. Yes, they are. If they weren't they'd tell those in green costumes and those who have already had a couple too many beers to get stepping.

There you have it, the 24 hour avoid Hoboken rule goes into effect around dawn tomorrow and carries over to dawn on Sunday when the last of the litter and passed out customers & yack are cleaned off the sidewalks.

Today is Lepre-Con in Hoboken, stay tuned for the drunken tomfoolery!

The Jersey City Desk stands by awaiting all the embarrassing pics and videos coming from FuHo today and their Lepre-Con event since the city had to bad the usual St. Patrick's Day parade due to some very loutish people.

Oh the louts will still be wandering drunk through Hoboken today and tonight, but at least it's not a parade, right?

In Hoboken looking for troublemakers today for Lepre-Con

Lots of cops about here in the Mile-Square City, including some Jersey City cops we saw a while ago. So far so good but some of those house parties may well take on a different attitude later on.

Well mayhem lovers, tomorrow is Hoboken's Lepre-Con Pub Crawl

Oddly enough it'll start in New York City and when bars are allowed to open in Hoboken at 11am it'll move back over to FuHo. We love a good pub crawl born out of sheer rage at the cancellation of a city tradition. We're intrigued that people who have an axe to grid with FuHo Mayor Dawn Zimmer over her decision to cancel said parade are having a pub crawl in response. Funny thing about an axe to grind, one may start out with pure intentions to show her up through upstanding citizenship but when mixed with alcohol, crowds, house parties, more alcohol that axe more often than not gets swung.

Of course we hope for the best for everyone who just wants a good time with an Irish flavor and a Harp Lager or twelve.
