With a holiday and the beginning of spring break, there are many events taking place this weekend, and here are some to attend to get you out of the house.
St. Patrick's Day is on Saturday, which means this year, you don't even have to take off work to get hammered at eight in the morning. And a lot of people are going to take advantage of that.
McDonald's bright-green Shamrock Shake, a minty beverage only available around St. Patrick's Day each year, has a cult following that rivals that of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and short-lived TV series "Firefly" (though possibly not McDonald's other fan-favorite seasonal menu item, the McRib).
