It's the weekend--Leave your room, have some fun!

1) TAKE ME TO ASIA...

More after the jump.

 2) HARDER, BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER

 4) LUCK OF THE IRISH

 You may not find any pots overflowing with gold in South Boston this Sunday, you will find many a pub overflowing with beer-soaked Bostonians. Festivities accumulate in a Saint Patrick’s Day parade. Join the ranks of bagpipers, local bands, and colorful floats; . FM recommends watching (and drinking) stations near Dorchester St. and L St.

 Sunday, March 15th at 1:00 p.m. Parade starts at Broadway T Station and ends Andrew T Station. Free.

 5) WHEN I GROW UP

 The Estate celebrates the club’s two-year anniversary with the Pussycat Dolls. Marvel at these scantily-clad pop sensations while dancing under baroque-style chandlers.
