Thong tha thong thong thong song tonight at Mad Rose

Sisqo is performing at Mad Rose tonight in a 90's party themed event. Although it is a no cover charge event, they expect long lines and the "cut line pass" for $35 (up from $15 last week) is no longer available. They have also sold out of the $500 "premium seating" private tables near the front of the show.

The event starts at 9pm, but their are rumors that Sisqo won't be on stage until after midnight. I'm not sure what to expect, as people seem divided between being excited to see a throwback show and a live Thong Song performance and those who want to avoid the area and the crowds. Still, this seems like a fun way to kick off the weekend early.

Happy St Patrick's weekend in Clarendon

Already a line forming early afternoon at O'Sullivans

Clarendon is full of green party goers today and will probably be brimming with fun and noise tonight. Popular Irish themed bars like O'Sullivan's already had a respectable line to get in Saturday afternoon. Other places that are perfect for bar hoping today are RiRa, Four Courts, Mad Rose, and Whitlows.

Party safe and take Metro, a cab, Uber, or SoberRide home!

One of many St. Patrick's day themed events happening in Clarendon is the Lucky Charms party at Mad Rose.
