The Festival


I went to the Guiness Oyster Fest on Saturday located On Division inbetween Ashland and Damen.

This Fest had expensive fresh-shucked oysters that you had to wait in line 45 minutes for, but I guess it was worth it. There was also live music including, the Shannon Rovers, Scotland Yard Gospel Choir, The Tossers and the Violent Femmes

Admission was a $5 suggested donation and was going towards a good cause.

One thing that was disappointing besides the fact that they only had 1 oyster tent and two beer tents for a 5 block festival is that at a Guiness Fest they were promoting Smiranoff Ice. Don't go to an Irish Fest and drink some crappy liquor drink.

Actually the Fest was not that great.
