Paddy's List, over the years I have compiled the ultimate list of the best things to do here in the bay area. It's basically where to go with the kids when they are wrecking the house on a Sunday. This is the list I would have liked to have had when I first moved here 23 years ago. Even locals should find some items they were not aware of.
Here is some good sources of modern humor and satire, with the best from the US, UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, Israel and Spain. Anything funny you have ever seen on Facebook probably came from one of these sites, go get it for yourself. They will have you grinning like a necrophiliac in a morgue.

The first Irish Christmas Hooley was organized in December 2015 by a group of Irish friends in the Bay Area. The goal was to bring the Irish community together to connect with old friends, meet new friends, have fun, and celebrate an Irish Christmas. This event is organized by volunteers, and all proceeds go towards the cost of the event.
This year's Irish Christmas Hooley will be held at the beautiful Ameswell Hotel in Mountain View. The night includes a champagne reception, 3 course meal with wine, photo booth, fun prizes, music, dancing, and an Irish sing song. They invite you to join us all for dinner, drinks, craic agus ceol!

These are bits of Irish and Californian history I have picked up. For example did you know that Menlo Park was named after Menlo in Galway, Ireland or that San Francisco was laid out by an Irish Surveyor Jasper O'Farrell? No neither did I until now.
