Today on Eastern Parkway: 12-year-old Erin Gershman of Prospect Heights protests the vague sense of emptiness that is the fallout of our rampantly consumerist society: “End the global currency system now!”

The Brooklyn Irish American Parade is tomorrow (Sun., March 20) at 1 PM, starting at Prospect Park West and Bartel-Pritchard Square (Map) (the traffic circle next to 15th St.); the reviewing stand is at Prospect Park West & 9th. Street. According to this site, the Grand Marshall Is NYPD Deputy Chief Joe Fox, and “dignitaries from the Irish Gov.’t” will be attending. There will be street vendors selling “Irish goods” and after the parade ends, festivities continue near Farrell’s Bar On Prospect Ave.

LEPRECHAUN TRAPPED IN SNOWDOME: redtail365 says he is selling this snowdome to help pay for his daughter’s funeral bill.

As previously reported, The Jane Pauley Show visited Prospect Heights’ own Freddy’s Bar and Backroom last month to film Knit Night. Two weeks later, news hit that the show was canceled, and the debut of Freddy’s on national television was in jeopardy. However, although the show is ending production in mid-April, the knitting craft segment — “Creative Outlets” — made the cut and will air toward the end of April or beginning of May.

Knit Night organizer Tony Limuaco says, “The clip was about 30 seconds long at the taping, which is pretty long for a clip. It might get cut shorter, hopefully cropping out the receding hairline of a man from Guam, or possibly his gut…. So get your TIVO all set up and check the site for the air date…. As you show up at Knit Night this Sunday, March 20, walk in proudly knowing that Freddy’s has national coverage.”
