Lepre-Con 2012, Hoboken, New Jersey

It takes a girl of proper breading and many years of training in an all-girl school to properly demonstrate the way to ride a poney. Lepre-Con 2012! After the mayoress of Hoboken turned into the "Grinch who Stole St. Patrick's Day," the Irish Catholics of Hoboken were forced to cancel the traditional and time-honored tradition of the Hoboken St. Patrick's Day Parade. Despite not having a parade for the first time in almost three decades, the hard-working, fun loving young people of Hoboken came up with an alternative bar crawl called "Lepre-Con" to celebrate.

 

According to the NJ.com, www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2012/02/local_priest_denounce... Father Alex Santora denounced Mayoress Dawn Zimmer for not working with the Church to come up with a compromise that would have allowed the parade to have taken place. Let's all put her in our Christian prayers that she makes a better decision next year.

 

These are my photos that I took while walking around Hoboken for the day. There were lots of twenty-something guys calling each other "Bro…" and an equal number of girls calling each other "Bitches…" There were the usual boyfriend/girlfriend arguments and breakups after some drinking, and so forth… All in all, most of the kids were well behaved and a good time was had by all!
