CANCELLED - St. Paddy's Day Kickoff with Hot Tamale

Presented by Blue Tavern at Blue Tavern

Hot Tamale will be playing an all-Irish set from 6 to 7 PM with rollicking Irish pub songs, beautifully melodic Irish ballads, and some salty Irish jokes thrown in for good measure.  We raised the roof last year with this set, and we guarantee to do so again this year!!!  We'll be followed by the Skylark Band (formerly the Bothys) and the notoriously popular limerick competition at Tallahassee's favorite neighborhood pub, Blue Tavern, and it's free admission for all!

The THIRD ANNUAL LIMERICK CHALLENGE:
Prizes! Bawdy Humor! Guinness! Silliness! Peer Pressure!

ABOUT THE LIMERICK CHALLENGE – there are only 2 rules to the contest:

1. Stick to the Limerick form. If you don't know, ask a friend or look it up. It's like a haiku, only Irish, a little longer, and little dirtier!

2. This year's theme is "Divine Comedy." You can write a Limerick based on any interpretation of this theme. It can be as political, silly, profound or profane as you want to make it.

Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd & 3rd BEST Limericks.
