Heading to Boardwalk - Atlantic City, New Jersey for The Atlantic City Beer & Music Festival next Month and was saddened that of my old haunts will be closed for renovations. The Irish Pub Atlantic City sustained visits from The Baron since The Late 70's. Almost 50 Years of Smiles, Great Pub Food and of Course The Guinness! Met one of the bartenders while Matriculating at King's College, Pennsylvania of all places at a Party in Margarita Apartments. He was visiting a friend in the Unit above mine. Ian, the Bartender, was a fast friend who I visited often at The Victorian Pub's ode to all things Irish.
The Pub has announced some ten weeks ago it will be closed for renovation. Some say it is closed permanently however, it is the true belief of The Baron, that in True Irish Spirit it is The Classic Example of The Irish Good-Bye.
For those not familiar to the concept The Baron will compare the much more favorable of departures to The Long Winded, drawn-out Italian Version that borders on Harassment!
THE ITALIAN GOOD~BYE
The Italian Good-bye is an exhausting ritual that drains the energy from what was an enjoyable event. What begins as a heartfelt farewell, often spirals into an endless cycle of repetitive good-byes, delayed departures, and emotional overextension. This overbearing display can feel performative, turning a natural conclusion into a spectacle that overshadows the event itself, it may also place pressure on guests to engage in lengthy exchanges when they are ready to leave, creating discomfort, rather than connection! While rooted in warmth and affection, The Italian Good-bye can inadvertently transform genuine sentiment into social fatigue, making the departure more burdensome than meaningfull. It starts in the Kitchen, moves to the dining room, then to the foyer, on to the porch, out to the car, rolling the window down and waiving...then the phone call once you FINALLY have arrived at home!
THE IRISH GOOD~BYE
The Irish Good~bye was introduced to The Baron by classmate Kevin X.Foley and embodies a quiet elegance and efficiency that many social situations can benefit from. It allows individuals to exit gracefully without disrupting the flow of the event or drawing unnecessary attention. The approach respects both personal boundaries and the natural rhythm of the gathering, sparing everyone the awkwardness of a prolonged farewell. It reflects a sense of confidence and self-assurance-an understanding that one's presence has already been felt and appreciated and that leaving need not be a performance. In a world that prizes constant attention, visibility, and connection, The Irish Good~bye offers a refreshing reminder that subtly and simplicity can be powerfull forms of social grace!
There you have it and when The Irish Pub Atlantic City returns, Make sure you Welcome them back...and tell em The Baron Sent Ya.... CAED MILE' FAILTE

When it comes to matters of opinion The Baron has long been a pupil of The Old School. (most likely because of Life's matriculation schedule, not the formal 16-year education norm.) The recent Riverfest 2025 debacle concerning bumping a Music Group for their political views has The Baron interested of The Cancel-Culture Phenomenon. Seems people start a social media account and once they reach 200 followers, they do not see their captive audience as anything but an audience, something to be performed to -- which is why your neighbor, who works at Target, talks on Facebook like he is addressing The United Nations. We are not aware of the solipsism of this behavior for we are all guilty of this behavior. It is all literally a performance.
Low Cut Connie should be allowed to perform. It is that simple. They were asked, contracted and then bumped because of a bureaucrat's lack of investigation skills. Then another Band was named and an Internet Hero dredged up some dirt on the replacement band, again investigation skills are sadly lacking.
If The Baron had a choice in the entertainment venue, He'd have gone Local. Don Shappelle and The Pick-Ups are an excellent cover band as well their original music. Many of Don Shappelle's original songs are centered around The Susquehanna River and The Chesapeake Bay. Seem a natural choice to celebrate The River. The Baron has known of Shappelle since his Bourbon fueled nights at McDermots on South Main. The Baron has also sipped Boat Drinks at Abner's Crab House in Annapolis while catching him perform.
Most of us who champion free speech also believe in the idea of etiquette and social contract. We simply do not believe that such parameters should be legally enforced by censorship.

Find where Don Shappelle and The Pick-Ups are playing and go give a listen!!
TELL EM THE BARON SENT YA.....
