Hey guys! There’s so much stuff to do today I’m only going to give a small explanation for each one because otherwise this will turn into a novella of an email. There’s something for everyone here today!

If you guys have enjoyed any of the events at The Mammal Gallery over the past few months, throw them a few bucks at their Save the Mammals Kickstarter. They’re trying to fix the building and make it more awesome.

All the food specials I listed on Friday are still going on today.

Big Ole’ List of St. Paddy’s Day Related Stuff:

The 132nd Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be going from 15th/Peachtree down to 5th/Peachtree at noon. I think this is the first year doing it in Midtown instead of downtown? Midtown’s always a blast when there’s a parade.

The entire East Andrews District (56 E Andrews Dr) up in Buckhead is doing stuff all day long (seriously, they opened at 6am), I never go up there so I don’t want to write too much about the specifics, but there’s all kinds of partying and drink specials going on. $5 advance/$10 at the door.

2014 ShamROCK Music, Art, & Film Festival is at the Masquerade Music Park (695 North Ave) from 11am today, I think it’s around $20 to get in and there’s loads of bands playing, food trucks serving food, all that stuff.

Park Tavern (500 10th St) is doing Luckyfest 2014 starting at 2pm. “Green beer, live music, DJ’s and ‘loaded leprechauns’.” $20 cover.

I’m gonna watch the parade in Midtown, then probably check out Rí Rá’s street party for a bit, and that will be my fill of St Patrick’s Day for the year, before it’s even started. Root City market and the Snake Nation Art Fest both sounds cool for afterwards, but so does sitting on a roof and listening to the new Black Lips album, so who knows. Let me know what you get up to and what turns out to be fun! Be safe, and please don’t drink and drive! Uber/Lyft are your friends!
