But THAT DEFEATS THE WHOLE POINT OF PI DAY. The only reason it is a notable day is because it happens on 3.14. If you can't celebrate it on 3.14, then just don't celebrate it.

Now, if you will excuse this old man, I have some more clouds to go yell at.
Keep in mind that this problem only exists in the few places that use this illogical notation method of dates.
