Well, this is it. Next Friday's lineup at the White Rabbit. We've already posted Thursday and Saturday's shows, and here is the last one. Friday afternoon from 2-8. Come hang out and see all these great bands playing acoustic or stripped down sets with us. As with the rest of the days, the show is completely free, open to the public, and there is no badge or wristband or RSVP or anything like that required. We are absolutely stoked about how well this has all turned out, and hope see everyone at there next week!

Next Friday will be a big one for the new City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. It's St. Patrick's Day, and the Speaker usually marches in the parade, alongside the Mayor and other city officials. But Quinn is in the process of deciding whether she will attend, because of the parade does not allow gay groups to march. Quinn was arrested in 1999 for trying to march in the Bronx St. Patrick's Day parade, and has criticized the Mayor for marching in the "exclusive" Fifth Avenue parade. Gay activists are hoping that her presence as a lesbian public official will pave the way for Irish LBG groups to march, but as Newsday points out the parade organizers are fine with gays marching - as long as they are not part of an organized gay group - we doubt the parade will change that easily. But we will Quinn will march - but maybe with an upside-down clover in protest. At any rate, she'll keep us on our toes till the day itself - she'll decide then.
