Shamrock Day 2015

I got a letter from Kabuki in the mail today; he sent me a blue tie-dye tee. Maybe I’ll wear it tomorrow, but I want to stick with green for today. It is St. Patrick’s Day after all, which is known as Shamrock Day in the world of Animal Crossing. Isabelle can be found near the town tree, dressed in green for the occasion.

Isabelle: What do you think of my outfit? Since today is Shamrock Day, I just thought I'd wear something green!She was handing out shamrock hats, and I decided to wear mine for the rest of the day. Sorry, mohawk lovers.

Isabelle: Please wear that shamrock hat and celebrate Shamrock Day with me, Mayor! We'll have TONS of fun!Putting on the shamrock hat.There’s also a face-cutout standee at the plaza, so I stuck my face through it. Look, I’m a leprechaun and this is me pot o’gold!

The Shamrock Day faceboard.My villagers commented on the hat when I spoke with them. They all seemed to like it.

Drago: I love your hat! Nothing says Shamrock Day like that exact shade of green!Wearing the hat even saved me from getting pinched by Octavian!

Octavian: No pinches for you! GAHAHA!Rolf took it a little too far, though. He said I looked like a genuine leprechaun. I’d like to think I’m too tall to be a leprechaun…This isn’t City Folk, pal!

Rolf: If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were a genuine leprechaun, or at least stole one's hat!Over by my zen bell, I found a lost item.

A lost item near some flowers.I began asking my villagers about the lost item. It turned out to belong to Agent S, who said it was her favorite book. She gave me a rally tee to thank me for returning it.

Agent S: Hey! My book! I couldn't find it anywhere!Up at the Dream Suite, Luna told me that Claire from Oceana was my most recent dream visitor.

I wrapped up my evening with a trip out to the island. I saw that the tuna-kahuna tour was available–lucky me!

You caught a tuna! Nice catch!This is a great tour for earning medals. If you can catch eight tuna in six minutes (which is quite easy to do), you’ll earn a whopping 20 medals! I did it twice and scored an easy 40 medals.

WHOA! You're a master angler! You've earned a Gold Tortimer award and 20 medals!Thanks for stopping by, and happy St. Patrick’s Day! If you haven’t already checked out my Dream Suite Adventure to the Irish-themed town of Shamrock, please give it a look!

A Hidden Gem

I started out my day with a visit to the Irish-themed dream town of Shamrock. Be sure to read my full dream adventure about it! But here are a couple of bonus pictures from my visit:

Flower clock in Shamrock.A metal bench in Shamrock.It’s a great town to visit, especially around St. Patrick’s Day. The dream address is 7500-2364-9142 if you want to experience it for yourself.

After waking up and returning to Forest, I found Saharah in town. I hired her to redecorate my house, and she put in this modern wood wall and sidewalk. Not the best combination.

And in Re-Tail, Big Top talked about finding a hidden gem. But there was a not-so-hidden gem right by the end of his trunk! Just follow your nose, big guy.

Big Top: There's a lot of stuff here today. I just know I'm gonna find a hidden gem!Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, known as Shamrock Day in the game, so I’ll be back with another blog entry then. Enjoy your day, everyone!

Ceramic Hot Pot – Nintendo Zone DLC

This morning, I found Joan selling turnips for 99 bells apiece. I bought 3,100 of them.

Joan: The asking price is 99 bells per turnip. What do you think, kiddo?When I started up the game again later, Pete was outside my house. He handed me a letter from Nintendo, which said that a ceramic hot pot is available at Nintendo Zone locations today (March 15th) through March 28th.

From 3/15 to 3/28, the ceramic hot pot is available via Nintendo Zone!Once connecting from a Nintendo Zone location (wink wink), I went to the post office and Pelly gave me the ceramic hot pot.

Pelly: Sorry to keep you waiting! I hope you enjoy your new ceramic hot pot!It can be ordered from your catalog for a price of only 1,000 bells. Good deal!

Ceramic hot pot - 1,000 bells.Even better, the menu can be customized at Re-Tail with any of these options: Sukiyaki, oden, hot pot, or tofu hot pot. If any of you have a restaurant, kitchen, or other food-related room in your house, you may want a few of these.

The menu for the ceramic hot pot.Anyway, Dizzy offered to sell me a trash can. There’s nothing wrong with that in itself, but what he said next was a bit insulting.

Dizzy: I'm pretty sure the two of you were meant to be together...Anyway, I was having a bad luck day; I kept falling on my face all over town.

Falling at the event plaza.Falling on my brick path.Merka came over for a very short visit to buy some tools and get her hair done. Looking much better without the bedhead, Merka.

Luna: According to the latest feedback, a client named Hannah from Helgen enjoyed your dream.
