Tampa Among Best Places In U.S. To Party On St. Patty’s Day

Author Sean Roberts
Tampa is a fantastic place to party for St. Paddy's Day.

Let’s just get one thing straight, Tampa is NUMBER FREAKING ONE IN AMERICA when it comes to Irish pubs and restaurants per capita. Don’t you even insinuate that we don’t like to party!
while not many of our residents are truly of Irish descent, we embrace any reason to celebrate. That’s why we all become Irish on March 17th, even if it’s only for a day. Wallethub recently posted the results of their poll showing that Tampa loves to get down on St. Paddy’s Day, claiming a Top 20 position out of the entire country…’cuz we dig slamming beer and dyeing the river green! Tampa loves March 17th so much that we are right up there with Boston, New York City, Philly and Chicago when it comes to going green.
Tampa dominates the country with Irish pubs and restaurants, with our per capita average jumping ahead of any other city in America. That’s why St. Patrick’s Day is a true party in Tampa. With an abundance of pub crawls, green beer, corned beef and cabbage specials, you will always be able to find a party in Tampa. One of the biggest happenings in Tampa is the River O’ Green, which takes place on the Hillborough River on the grounds of Curtis Hixon Park. As everyone enjoys the beautiful early-spring weather, the water in the river is dyed bright green. Food, drinks and entertainment are provided throughout the event. Tampa’s River O’ Green will happen on Saturday, March 18th this year, assuring that everyone will be able to come out and have a great day. If you have to be downtown for other reasons this Saturday, please remember that traffic will be a factor in your arrival time.
There’s an added feature for this year’s celebration, too. The Freedom Boat Club will be offering free boat rides in the bright green water of the Hillsborough River during the River O’ Green celebration. For those of you who have navigated the channel via boat, you know how gorgeous a trip on the water can be. If you’d like to learn more about the festival at Curtis Hixon park, click here. You’ll also find information about LOTS of other St. Patrick’s day festivities. Have a great time and may the luck o’ the Irish be with you! Source: Patch.com

I Have No Idea What The Third Video Means

9 Music Videos with Strange Plots That Make No Sense

Music videos are a very unique art form, but let’s face it: Not all music videos were created equal. In fact, some of them just leave us asking, “What did I just watch?!”

Here are just nine music videos with strange plots that make no sense. Enjoy or feel free to scratch your head along with us.

  • Lindsey Buckingham - 'Holiday Road'

    We’re really coming out the gate with a weird one. So, Buckingham appears to be trapped inside of a dystopian office building/prison. The water cooler appears to be filled with a Windex-colored solution, and a construction worker is laying a brick wall in front of the office building/prison window. At the end, it appears Buckingham’s rocker spirit escapes the building and walks off into the distance. For real, we have no idea what to even make of this one. Thank goodness this banger of a track was used in Vacation, or else we may have ended up forgetting all about it altogether.

  • Journey - 'Separate Ways'

    A mysterious woman is walking around a shipping dock. Add in awkward air instrumentation, some super-earnest singing while staring directly into the camera and an “it was all a dream” ending, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for ’80s gold!

  • Pat Benatar - 'Love Is A Battlefield'

    Great song, terrible video. Pat Benatar’s character runs away from home to the big city to become a type of hooker that only slow dances with dudes. There’s then a shimmy confrontation with her pimp, which she wins, and Pat and all her friends live to dance another day.

  • U2 - 'Numb'

    The pitch:  Let’s do terribly annoying things to The Edge, and he doesn’t react at all, because he’s numb. Get it? Side note: The part with the feet is just gross…unless you’re into that sort of thing. (No judgment if you are. You do you!)

  • Bon Jovi - 'Always'

    Okay, this one is a bit weird, but here’s the simplest breakdown: An artsy couple is being artsy. Then the artsy guy hooks up with the artsy girl’s roommate. Artsy girl finds out and runs to the loft of another artsy guy. They hook up. Artsy girl then calls the first artsy guy and he shows up at the second artsy guy’s loft. There’s a fight about a sexy painting…AND THEN THERE’S A BOMB?!

  • Billy Squier - 'Rock Me Tonight'

    The plot? Billy Squier dances around his tastefully decorated home wanting to be rocked tonight. It’s also step one of a one-step plan on how to kill your rock and roll career.

  • Huey Lewis and the News - 'Hip to be Square'

    Not sure if there’s a plot to this one, to be honest, but if there is one, it’s, “Here’s what Huey Lewis’s tonsils look like!”

  • Nelson - 'After The Rain'

    A kid with a terrible home life gets whisked away into a Nelson poster. He then meets a Native American who gives him a feather and directs him toward a trail only to see his favorite band Nelson rocking out on a rocky hillside. But then he wakes up, and it was all a dream…OR WAS IT?!

  • Damn Yankees - 'High Enough'

    This is certainly difficult to forget this one: A couple on the run, a police standoff and then there’s Ted Nugent inexplicably chomping on gum the entire video AND his involvement in the video’s “twist ending.”

Musta Been On His Way To Bang A Hooker

Sean Roberts was conceived in the Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky by two passionate, panel aligning, third shifters who had grown bored with the same ole same ole. Upon birth, he was placed in the trunk of a new Stingray and sent off to find his destiny. That destiny included several stints on radio stations across the United States. Some played punk country gospel, while others focused on Croatian death metal played backwards. After many years and many adventures, Sean wound up on The Shark, where he does shots of tequila while playing the most badass tunes ever created by humankind. He remains humble, however, never forgetting about the lean years...the street corners and dark alleys where he played songs on his car stereo for food and sex. He's on top and he's never gonna stop LIVING THE DREAM!

We kinda rule on St. Patty’s Day…
