The organizers of Third Thursday (who aren’t us, by the way) are
offering the first-ever chance for the young adults in the area to vote on the
location of this month’s event. This is just what’s needed to help an event
that has been hurt this year by the calendar itself. With Third Thursday having
fallen on Inauguration Day in January and St. Patrick’s Day in March, we’re
looking for warmer weather and the lack of party holidays on Thursdays to give
people no excuse but to come back to Third Thursday.
By sending emails to
[email protected] between now and
Monday, April 11th, with the name of place in the subject of the email, and
your reasoning in the body, you may just be the person we all thank or complain
about if the event is good or not.
According to the organizers, the location should be:
According to us, the location should be:
-
In Ballston
-
A place where you can get a gin and tonic for less than $8 dollars.
-
A place where you wouldn’t look like a tool sporting a camera.
(It’s been ages since we’ve whipped it out at a Third Thursday. We’re hurting
for content, people! What do you think the motivation behind this lame
three-day a week column was?)
-
A place where you’d run into a Greek-American who didn’t set out to
stumble upon a Greek event in the first place.
-
A place with outdoor seating where you can see the above-mentioned
Greeks who didn’t set out to stumble upon a Greek event, and call them out.

Speaking about Greeks in the area that you typically don’t see out
and about, there’s about 150 guys across 16 teams who play basketball at St.
Katherine’s on Sunday afternoons. After 10 long weeks, the first round of Greek
League Playoffs start this Sunday at 2:00 P.M. and runs until 10:00 P.M. Check
out our Events Calendar for a schedule of the games, or if you want the
unfiltered experience you can go to Greekleague.com. It amazes even us that
this league is now in its eighth season and there’s still a lot of Greeks in
the area who haven’t heard about it. If you’re in the area on Sunday, stop by
St. Katherine’s and watch a game or two, catch up/taunt a few friends you grew
up with, buy a hotdog from the GOYA kids running the concession stand, and
cheer on some underdogs.
