This. There will absolutely be people out partying next Friday on St Paddys. IF you want to go out this weekend there are crawls in Fed & Fells (Canton was last weekend). Eventbrite is going to sell you crawl/stroll "tickets". Dont buy them. You can go and get into every bar without that stupid bracelet, youll just have to pay $5 for your Bud Light instead of $3 but thats if anyone bothers to check or care because everywhere is going to have specials anyway.

Bottom line: put on all your green and go out both weekends if you want, dont give any third party promoters any money - save it for shots.
