US Adventures

I've been in the US this past week on business trip. Managed to make it back despite getting stranded in Minneapolis due to a snowstorm.

My trip took me through some good Irish-American strongholds - I've already got a few promises of some stories from people met in Boston & New York.

Please keep the stories coming!

I can't tell you what exact type of story I'm looking for but I thought I'd post a small sample of some of the ones I've received already by way example :

So your story should be something like those ones...or then again nothing like those ones! See, that cleared things up, didn't it.

Anyway, please keep the stories coming to trueirishstories@gmail.com and keep telling your friends.
