Brave the Snow for Obama or St. Patrick

While February totally bored me, March looks like it's kicking off with a bang. Tomorrow afternoon, there are a couple of fun, different events you can check out.

First, political phenomenon Barack Obama will be speaking at a rally at Rhode Island College tomorrow. The doors will open at noon, and considering the Obama fever spreading everywhere, you're probably best off getting there around then if you want a decent seat. Go to the college's rec center at 600 Mount Pleasant Avenue in Providence.

If politics are not your thing, or if you're a Republican who needs a distraction from the Democratic fervor that will be sweeping the state, you can celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Pawtucket tomorrow. What's that, you say? Saint Patrick's Day isn't for over two weeks? Ahh, but you've forgotten that the normal rules of society are suspended in Pawtucket. The parade begins at noon, behind McCoy Stadium, and ends up downtown by city hall. Afterwards, there will be food and music at the Pawtucket Armory for $2. If you can bear the weather, check it out.
