Guinness turns 250 Friday, Slainte goes nuts
Midnight Sun commenter Frenchy (who also appears to work for a certain Fells Point mini-fiefdom), sent me the heads up about a rather delicious-sounding event at Slainte Irish Pub (1700 Thames St.) on Friday.
It seems that Guinness turns 250 years old that day, and to celebrate, Slainte is putting together a lovely little event.
This lovely little event includes live music by Sean Pelan from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Jimmi Sexton from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
The Guinness Girls will be there to give out Guinness birthday apparel (as well as pints of the legendary brew), and a St. James Gate locked box.
Apparently, customers can get keys and try to open the box to win the prizes inside.

GDA - Carnival Cruise is hosting some hoopla in the Inner Harbor Saturday after 10am, including chances to win a free cruise. I would go if I was not hosting people for the CityPaper Brewfest, which falls into that imbibing category :) You can always yell at the TV during the NFL draft Saturday evening. Sunday is the Federal Hill Spring Block Party, which may also fall into that imbibing category...

GDA-
There is so much going on this weekend! Lots of museum deals and discounts (2 for 1 at BMA and AVAM), Station North arts festival, Roots concert, Federal Hill block party, Hopkins Festival, there's the RunAmuck 5k in Rockville...
Maybe one of those will suit you? If not, I think just being outside with the beautiful weather we'll be having will make for a great weekend.
