Dia Duit, Hadit & Nuit!

I know it's almost St. Patrick's Day because the Clurichaun's here in our shop are getting ever so randy as of late.

A lot of people ask - even more than the amount who mispronounce it - what the "clurichaun" (KLUR-EH-CON) on our Clurichaun Trap Irish Stout is. Wikipedia currently defines a clurichaun as: "a mischievous fairy in Irish folklore known for his great love of drinking and a tendency to haunt breweries, pubs and wine cellars." They tend to make big messes, drink our beer and periodically play some rather cruel practical jokes on us. Our problem here isn't saying the name, or even spelling it, it's an on-going struggle to decipher between our sizable clurichaun infestation and our employees. The rule of thumb I've been working with to date is that our employees are usually the ones you find out back smoking.

R-D-R-R, Bart.

So, yeah, as if we don't have enough trouble on our hands, we've got the North Side St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday. And, because we're gluttons for punishment, we've programmed a heady little St. Patrick's Day celebration at our spot with food, beer, Robot Karaoke and, to cap off the whole day, one of our favorite clurichaun's favorite electro-pop duo, Bloodhype.

We hope you share some or all of your St. Patrick's Day ruining Monday with us here at IBW.

BUT WAIT! We've got even more nuttiness planned for the weekend.

Saturday night, March 16th at 9:30, we've got another great FREE and, yes, LIVE show here to help you cope with the feelings of loss experienced by that slow realization that the Chicago winter is over before it ever started.

Chicago's GLIMMERWIRE is headlining and FAKE FAXES are opening up for them. Glimmerwire plays stripped-down rock n roll drawing on the approaches of Chuck Berry, Lou Reed, Willy DeVille and Roky Erickson, among others. We're super stoked to have another stupidly talented band rip their hearts out and feed them to you for fun.

And, please remember, all this month for MURDER BINGO Aeriz Cannabis is sponsoring the movies. So all kinds of free AERIZ swag for participants every week and, for the person who gets the most Bingo's in the whole month of March, we have a rrrrreeal nice Grand Prize that is full of goodies we know you'll love. So don't miss a single week of Murder Bingo!

"Evil Bong" is this coming Wednesday's feature in case you can't read.

Alright, that's all I've got. Back to making some more fresh Orange Sunshine!
