Sorry about the long delay between posts... my beloved computer died. After 3 years and about 1 million images my main GPU gave out. Thanks to everyone who helped me get a new machine, its nice being able to make images again. Click thru to St. Patricks at the Dubliner.

Scam

Just a small gallery of the weekend. I saw a lot of trashed people out on the ave.

Sometimes I wonder if people ever think about how ripe they are for a scam when they are out drinking? In the photos you might notice a certain girl with a bridal veil... this girl and her cohorts (about 5 or 6 other girls) were dressed for a bachelorette function, but something was odd, namely, the supposed "bachelorette" was dancing extremely suggestively with at least 5 random guys, on the podium in the middle of delux! I thought, "geez, this girl is really taking her last night of being single a little too far". So I went in with the camera and started snapping just to see how far this girl was going to go before she took her vows. As it turns out, the photos quickly scared her and she immediately inquired who I was shooting for. 'Who are the pictures for?', 'Your husband', I replied. She then went on the defensive and told me that she wasn't getting married at all, and her and her German friends went to bars in the USA like this because they could pass around a bucket, and fill it with cash by asking unsuspecting drunks to contribute to the 'honeymoon', or 'wedding', or whatever.

Thats right folks, these girls would go out every night to a different bar and scam the crowd into paying their drinks and contributing money to the bucket. Complete with sash and veil, the girls would alternate who would be the 'bride' depending on the night and where they went, so as not to be too conspicuous.

They had a decent amount of cash in the bucket.

You've been warned.
