Look for the lawrence.comrade with an outrageous mustache who's wearing this vintage St. Patty's Day shirt and win tickets to your choice of upcoming concerts!
It's that hallowed time of year where being outrageous and binge drinking in the middle of a weekday is not only acceptable, but encouraged. At least for those of Irish heritage. Or those who feel a special kinship with the Irish. Or just like wearing green. And/or drinking.
Anyway, the year's biggest parade is today, and we'll be out and about taking photos of the revelry and posting them here later this afternoon.
We'll also be LIVE tweeting all the action for those of you stuck in a cubicle. (To get your own tweets included in the stream below, just use the #lawstpats hashtag.)
Just because we can, we'll be giving away FOUR PAIRS of tickets at the parade today. That's $232 worth of tickets!
To win, be the first person to find lawrence.com's live tweeter at the parade.
Some clues as to how to find him:
• he'll be wearing the vintage St. Patty's Day "Rub me, I'm lucky" shirt
• he's got an outrageous mustache, much like a Leprechaun
• some of his tweets will help you narrow down where he's at currently
If you're the first to find him, he'll get your name and you'll get a pair of tickets to ALL of these upcoming shows:
• Tegan and Sara
• Beach House
• Jonsi (from Sigur Ros)
• Flaming Lips
Good luck finding him, and enjoy the parade! (Those who know our live tweeter, as well as employees of the World Co., are excluded from the contest. Sorry...wouldn't be fair.)

Did you hear about that one experiment by DARPA to see who could track down red balloons the fastest using only social media? If not: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/05/da...
Well, DARPA ain't got s*** on us! Within about fifteen minutes of posting a very vague clue as to my whereabouts downtown, I was rooted out like a stinky truffle. Some intrepid Harbour Lights patrons, checking their smart phones in between pints of Guiness, bagged me right quickly.
Congratulations to Kim Le and Kristin Colahan-Sederstrom,! Since they were working as a team, they've agreed to share the ticket booty.
Shortly after Kim and Kristin won, a couple of winded gentlemen came crashing through the door at Harbour. Panting for breath, they asked, "Are you the leprechaun?" It broke my heart to tell them the tickets were already gone. "Awww! We ran all the way down here from Zen Zero!" Twitter, and the allure of free tickets, are more powerful than I had guessed.
I felt awful about those guys, so I decided to give everyone a second chance (including them, if they were still following me). So I posted that I would be at a corner of 9th and Mass. with a runner-up prize. About five minutes after that message, Taylor Beals and his buddies found me. Mind you, the intersection of 9th and Mass. was a cluster eff. It was the nexus of the whole parade, with several hundred people at each corner, and I didn't specify on which of the four corners I was hiding.
Again, Twitter, I grudgingly tip my shillelagh towards you. You have proven your worth, at least when it comes to human scavenger hunts. I am truly the most dangerous game. Well, I am at the very least the most hirsute game.
So congrats to the winners, thanks to all of the players, and have a happy Green Liver Day!
