The narrative journey of a particularly legendary night or session — beginning with low expectations, building through increasingly ridiculous escalations, and culminating in a story that will be retold for years. Every craic arc has a turning point (usually around the third venue) where the night stops being normal and starts being a thing. The craic arc is only identified in retrospect, often around 3am while someone is trying to explain what happened to a taxi driver.
That trip to Galway had a proper craic arc — started with a quiet meal and ended with us on a fishing boat.
