Weekend Out - March 11-14, 2010

While St. Patty’s Day celebrations will be taking over the bulk of this weekend, a surprising amount of indie rock shows will be gracing stages all over Columbus from Vetiver to Horse Feathers to Hockey to We Were Promised Jetpacks to Cage The Elephant to the Scion Rock Fest. Some of those even competing with each other for your green. I don’t know if I’ll step back into my apartment once I leave this weekend. Take a look at all of the events going on and get out while the heat is on!
