Steph:  Hey, Sara. What did you do for Saint Patrick’s Day?

Sara:  Well, of course I wore lots of green so I didn’t get pinched. And then I actually went to a really big party at this bar called Kell’s. It was really fun.

Steph:  Cool. Um, were there any bands there or anything?

Sara:  Yeah. There were like three bands. They had tons of people. They had tents set up outside so they could get more people in. And it was crazy.

Steph:  Nice. Did you have to pay a cover charge?

Sara:  Yeah. It was kind of expensive. That was the only downfall. But it was fun.

Steph:  Really? Was it worth it?

Sara:  Yeah. I think. Well, maybe. I mean it was ok. What did you do for Saint Patrick’s Day?

Steph:  Oh, I went out with some friends and I drank some green beer.

Sara:  You did?

Steph:  Yeah.

Sara:  Did it taste good?

Steph:  It just tasted like beer. The green was just food coloring.

Sara:  Oh, ok. That sounds like fun.

Steph:  Yeah. It was cool. It matched our outfits.

Sara:  Yeah.
