What more do you really want out of a Saturday - and an excuse to drink? Not only is Tacoma's Doyle's, celebrating its fourth anniversary, but the 17th also marks another "St. Practice Day" - when alcoholics looking for a good excuse drink in excess in "preparation" for the coming of St. Patrick's Day, which, don't forget, is only 11 months away. Preparation is key. Kick off Saturday night and the Doyle's anniversary with the perfect Tacoma blues band, Toughtimes.
