It’s not that we don’t like the holiday to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, it’s that we’re going to cover it in another couple of posts and we know there are other things happening this weekend.
BTW, don’t forget to Spring forward at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday morning. Do it ahead of time because from personal experience, remembering how clocks work with a Sunday hangover is hard.
Bunny Jamz! w/ Slugga, Jeffito, & DJ Nuri – Hamtramck

There will be six DJ’s spinning that night. The entertainment starts at 9:00 p.m. goes until closing.
