St Patrick's Day Party at CAFE DU NORD...featuring La Gente, Ziva, Anita Lofton Project, & Cassandra Farrar + The Left Brains!! Get down to great music all night long!! (No, none of it is Irish) Sunny says she might have to bust out in an Irish jig and she's super excited to pinch everyone who doesn't have green on!! Now you better recover quickly from the green beer and Irish Whiskey cause the weekend is only just beginning. Thank goodness that the funk will keep you alive!! Friday and Saturday night, THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS invade THE INDEPENDENT. Congrats to Phaedra who waited for just the perfect show to cash in her raffle prize from The BISS Silver Ball!!!
