Events calendar! Woo!

Sorry, I don’t know if anyone else finds this as exciting as I do, but it’s been something I’ve been meaning to start since rechristening the site as the Odyssey in the first place. It was just a matter of clearing some time, and making it happen.

Do you have an event you would like to list on the Odyssey’s calendar? The best way to make sure your event gets listed here is simply to tell us. Shoot us an e-mail at info@bayridgeodyssey.com, and we’ll make it happen. Be sure to tell us:

  • What and where the event is,
  • What day and time it will be,
  • A description of the event, and
  • If there is an admission price or age restriction.

Include a web site link and/or RSVP information, if applicable.

Even if you don’t tell us about an event, we’ll post a lot of the events we hear about through normal channels. That’s just the way we are.

In addition to the calendar, we’ll also be publishing a nine-day event listing on Wednesdays. Just to drive home all of the cool/arty/sophisticated/loud/debauched events in which you could be taking part in the near future. Everything on the calendar over that nine-day span will go in the listing, just be sure to tell us about it the Tuesday before the event. Continue reading »

Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade This Sunday

The 19th Annual Bay Ridge St. Patrick’s Day Parade will be this coming Sunday, March 25, beginning at 1pm. The parade will step off at the southern end of 4th Avenue, at Marine Avenue, and will march north along 5th Avenue until it reaches 60th Street.

A number of bars along the route and in the area will be holding special events and live music that day, such as Hollaback and 2U (a U2 cover band) at the Wicked Monk, and The Canny Brothers at Irish Haven. They’ll be partying like it’s, um, March 17.

I’m told that the last day for Shamrock Shakes at McDonald’s was yesterday. This is an unconfirmed, unsubstantiated rumor, so maybe we’ll luck out.
