THE TANK'S ANNUAL ST. PURIM'S DAY BASH
Friday, March 12 2010; 7:30pm
About St. Purim's Day
On PURIM, it's a Mitzvah to get drunk. On ST. PAT'S, you're an outcast if you're sober. Two cultures, united in inebriation. For one day, everyone's JewIrish.
Celebrate these two great traditions of two immigrant groups that made America great as they collide in one very American tradition. Participatory, punchy and playful. With live music, karaoke, comedy, tricks, acts, delights, snacks & the story of Purim...of course.
Leprechaun: $5
Blarney Stone: $10, 2 drinks
Queen Esther: $25, DRINK ALL NIGHT
St. Purim Superstar: $50, drink all night + Tank membership
