As the last peaks of the Snowpocalypse succumb to the inevitable, thoughts turn to spring and all the green (chloros) Persephone brings. Viridity evokes St. Paddy’s Day --- an opportunity to dye pools of water and cheap beer the color of the Emerald Isle. As Agios Patrick is an Orthodox Saint too and Greeks come and stay late at any party, why not continue to celebrate his name day on the 18th of March? Greek Independence Day is a week later, so let’s salute Lord Byron and the English fleet’s victory at Navarino as well. This tortured connection (C+, grading on a generous curve) is to let you know that March 18 2010’s Third Thursday will begin at 7pm at Union Jack’s in Ballston (aka Arlington). They’ll have March Madness on the TV so you can follow your brackets. Did I mention it is also Ladies Night (cue Kool & The Gang)? Popular 80's Cover Band, Gonzo's Nose, will be performing live! Stay tuned for Specials in the days ahead... Union Jack’s Ballston Metro (Orange Line) Just two blocks away. Park at the Ballston Parking Garage (attached to the Mall) for only $1 from 6 PM to Midnight: http://tinyurl.com/TTBParkIf you have a suggestion on where the next Third Thursday should be, email us at [email protected], join our Facebook group or call 202 683 8842.
