Irina wasn't one for red hearts, chocolate or gushy romantic stuff. She was more the find a bar and drink vodka type. Which is exactly what Irina did and finding a bar in New Orleans was as easy as throwing a stone and hitting one. At least in the French Quarter anyway.

Irina grabbed a seat in the main bar of Pat O'Brien's and ordered vodka. Not a hurricane or any other fruity mixed drink. She was a simple girl with simple tastes.

About a week ago Casey had made a passing mention of how in Ireland on the day before Ash Wednesday they would celebrate Pancake Tuesday. Well apparently one of the higher up though it was neat and would be a good event to have at Finnegans.  The bar had done some mild advertising for it and they were hoping for some increase in business which is why Casey found himself working a longer shift than usual he barely had time to get to work after teaching his recitation but at least he was certain to make a lot of money today.

When he got there the place was already hopping and the waitresses looked busy. Apparently they were giving out free pancakes and were hoping to use that to make people buy more drinks. By the time Casey got behind the bar he could tell their plan was working with the amount of drinks he had to get. He was definitely making a lot of money today which made him very happy with how crazy it was going to be this afternoon.
