Spring Into 2009 Friendship Day in Algiers

The clocks are turning forward a little earlier this year and I love it! To me the day is over when the sun sets, so the more daylight the better.

You don’t want to forget to set your clock before you go to bed on Saturday night, or you might miss an hour of Friendship Day….the annual street party put on by the Algiers Irish Rebels and Friendship Club at the corner of Olivier and Patterson streets in Algiers Point this Sunday.

Friendship Day is always a fun event and it’s like an official rite of passage from winter into spring on the West Bank. Live music from 3 bands, including Outlaw Jim and the Whiskey Benders (all the way from Kansas City) and Chicken on the Bone (all the way from Algiers).

Green beer, free food and great friends go perfectly with the excellent weather forecast for this weekend. Don’t forget your sunblock!

Here are a few photos from last year’s event to get you in the mood:

Friendship Day starts at noon on Sunday, March 8, 2009 and the fun doesn’t stop until 5:00 pm. Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your mama and ‘em, and come pass a good time with us. See you there!
