Four years ago, fifteen black labels came down to Chicago to ride with the Rat Patrol in the official Chicago St. Patrick's Day parade. Suffice to say that it blew mighty chunks. Four hours of waiting in line for a 15-minute parade that was so beer- and cheer-free that it seemed like the specators were at some manditory dictator's birthday.

Since then, we've been throwing our own parade, down 18th street, with a rolling bonfire. We have demolition derbies and joust in an abandoned concrete elevator. We build big tv-smashers and have a TV smash. We crash the south side irish parade (where the drinkin is). All bike clubs are welcome to join us this year, March 16-18
