In honor of a theme day I have decided
that my theme for the week will be “Events to Expect Wednesday’s,” where I will
mention up and coming events to keep an eye out for in the Michiana area.
Growing up in the Midwest is no easy feat. Just ask Kanye West what the Midwest is, “Young
and Restless.” One of the frequent complaint of Midwesterners, or at least
those in the South Bend area, is that “there’s nothing to do.” Once again I’m
here to break down predispositions and to prove to readers there are in fact things
to do. For instance, did you know that you can find local events daily at DowntownSouthBend
or at the South Bend Tribune online? This includes events going on all around
the area! Another interesting read is Michiana Entertainer, and if you’re
out at the bar long enough you might just find yourself in one of their monthly
issues.
One upcoming event that everyone
should be looking forward to is South Bend’s Official St. Patty’s Day Tent Party and Pub
Tour on Friday March 14th. I’ve been to the last two and have
yet to be disappointed. Admission is only $5 dollars, but they’ll try to get
you to buy the “Green Room Package” for $20 which basically means an easier outlet
to a bathroom, if you’re into that sort of thing. The best part of the event is
the pub tour. Not only is the tent located near places like CJ’s Pub and Club
Fever, but there are shuttle buses that do a route to other local pubs like
Oyster Bar and Corby’s. Once you get your tent party gear, you get to ride the
shuttle buses and enter participating bars for FREE! There you have it, almost
an entire month to prepare yourselves for green beer and good times.
One of the funniest/craziest things to ever have happened to me occurred on my first pub tour. During a taxi ride with a couple of my friends and some random female cohorts up to Brother's Bar and Grill from Corby's, a group of people hopped out in the middle of the road and began to argue. Our driver stopped in the middle of the road and watched them for a minute, all the while the rest of us were in the back very nonchalant and waiting to get to the bar. All of a sudden, our taxi driver gets OUT of the van and starts walking up to these people, yelling and swinging his arms for them to get out of the road. It was like watching someone herd barn animals or something! Mean while those of us left in the van were left astonished and in knots over the whole ordeal, confused but amazed that our driver was willing to do such a thing!

Another event to look forward to is
the resurgence of NASCAR, with special guest this year Chris Evans Chris
