Who's Your Paddy?

Rated X is throwing a St. Pansy's Day Parade!

Ugly Irish.

Did everyone survive this past weekend? I know there were numerous pre-St. Patty Day festivities so you now have 5 days to fully recovery until the weekend. While there are plenty of watering holes where liquor will be flowing fast, here are my two suggestions:

1. Remember how there is never anything to do on Friday night besides get trashed at Trash!? We adore that party, but seeing the same underage faces (Opps!), I mean- youthful - faces can get a tad... boring. Well we finally have at least ONE reason to venture into the midnight madness -- Sean Pierce is bringing you the liquid you've been thirsting for at Lit Lounge.

"Ugly" is a new monthly - if all goes as planned - that offers anyone who fell off the butch tree (and violently hit every branch down) an opportunity to embrace their um... "uniqueness" and get cheap drinks simultaneously(2-4-1 at midnight for the host "certifiable" uglies). If you happen to be attempting to bring sexy back (*gag me for just writing that) than perhaps this new monthly will give you a reason to rummage through the Halloween chest early and come out to sport fake teeth, uni brows, fat lips, white heads or awesome scars. Regardless, this is a party that has potential... potential to be a lot of fun and offer numerous laughs. Everyone needs that combo by the end of the work week.

2. Do I even need to remind you about Saturday? This is a chance to hear the infamous dynamic duo of Michael T. & Theo spin records that will make you riot while Jim and I host and the fabulous Jonathan Sorber celebrates his birthday on the stage of Rated X. This potent combination is sure to make for a night that you will never remember. Trust me, you're waking up with battle wounds after this fighting Irish party.

* Yep, he's laughing all the way to the emergency room on Saturday night.

Top O' The Morning

St. Paddy's Day is the feast day that annually celebrates Saint Patrick (386-493), the patron saint of Ireland, on March 17th. It is the Irish national holiday and although widely celebrated in the United States, it is not an official holiday. All across Manhattan, ever-growing crowds of people with no Irish connections, but who may proclaim themselves, "Irish for a day," will drink themselves until they piss themselves in the name of St. Pat, usually by consuming incredible amounts of alcoholic beverages such as lager that is dyed green, Murphys, Smithwicks, Harp or Irish whiskey, Irish cider, Irish coffee, or Baileys Irish Cream. And I hope you all partake in this green goodness, but save just enough strength to attend Rated X where Jim and myself will be holding court to a jam-packed Jameson spectacular. Not only that, but Philadelphia’s favorite photographer Jonathan Sorber will be celebrating his 26th birthday with style, grace, and Guiness. So come one, come all, and get ready to party hard for St. Patrick!
