GLONO catches up with upstate New York's The Felice Brothers and discovers a new term: Saloon Core. Bust out your suspenders and dust off your squeeze box, it's party time.

Here's what's happening this Saturday:

* DJs Phae, Panic, and our newest resident, JavieR!

* Vending by Zizuph

* March Drink Deals (besides our 2 for 1 before 10): From 10:00 until last call

throughout March, we'll be offering the following options for $3.50

each: Heinekens, Midori sours, and apple martinis

* Tons of giveaways!

* Our college discount continues!

What's the old saying? March comes in like a lion, but goes out like

a lamb? Well the first part's certainly true about Midnight's March

resident DJ, Zizuph is vending, and Bound's DJ Panic--well-known for

his kick-ass sets--is on board as well. Read on for the full story...

OUR DJS--INCLUDING ANOTHER NEW RESIDENT

Phae, our head DJ, had to cancel at the last minute on the 23rd due

to illness (many thanks to Ascension's DJ Fractured for filling

in!). But she'll be back again this week, along with DJs JavieR and

Panic.

There just weren't enough Saturdays in February to give
