BUH-BYE WINTER!

It's 68 degrees and as sunny as can be on what is OFFICIALLY the LAST DAY OF WINTER! The weekend is scheduled to be more of the same: sunny with temps hovering around 70-75 degrees; what better way to start of the Spring 2010 season?

I apologize for the lack of posts the last couple of days; between the chaos of St. Patrick's Day and the beginning of March Madness, there simply hasn't been any time to get to the computer. As it is, I am running on gas fumes and it's only Friday. It's only now that I have a brief moment to jot a few blurbs and to bring you up to speed on what's going on here this weekend.

I have to say that it's been a pretty good week thus far. Tons of debauchery and good craic, and more importantly, no problems to speak of (as of yet). We still have the weekend to go but so far, so good.

That being said, here are some of the highlighted events going on in and around the bar:

*MARCH MADNESS continues its slate of games today, tonight and throughout the weekend. There have been plenty of white-knuckle buzzer beaters already and I expect more to come as this year's tournament is as wide open as I've seen in quite a long time. We, of course, will carry EVERY game of the tournament, through the Championship game on Monday, April 5th.

*SIX NATIONS RUGBY (Sat. 3:30pm) features ENGLAND vs FRANCE in a pivotal matchup.

*NHL CENTER ICE will be on display on Saturday night as well, with the HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA telecast @7pm.

*The RINGLING BROS. ELEPHANT PARADE takes place this Monday night at midnight and we're hosting our annual Elephant Parade party (since the Elephants will march out of the Midtown Tunnel, right down the block from our bar)! It's a surreal event, to say the least and something that has to be witnessed to believe. Of course, downing massive amounts of Delirium Tremens and $1 mugs of Bud/Bud Light/Coors Light will only add to the effects.

As always, check out our plethora of specials on our website and make it point to become a fan of THIRD and LONG on our Facebook page for additional specials!


That's it. Back to the games.
