Yes, my birthday is coming up soon so please put Tuesday 30th April in your diary. «So…how will you celebrate?» i hear you say. Well, i’m glad you asked. I have a big party planned and there will be some special Ron related treats all the way through April. And don’t worry, although the party is on a Tuesday the following day is a bank holiday which means… no work and no excuses! Yay!

But enough about about me, there is plenty to celebrate over the next few days so enjoy a great weekend Ronsters and don't forget...

Give my love to the city

Speaking of celebrations St Patrick’s day is this weekend, you can celebrate a snowboard pioneer if you fancy a trip out of town or you can just celebrate life by checking out a gig, buying a bike or checking out some cinema. Whatever you do, HAVE FUN!

Thursday: Love the garden? This is for you?
Friday: Every wall of the city becomes a cinema
Saturday: Get around the city for cheap. Buy a bike at Velobörse
Saturday: Celebrate snowboard pioneer Jake Burton
Saturday: Drums and symbolism with Kodo, the magic drummers of Japan. Scroll down to win tickets
Sunday: St Patrick’s Day: Click for my (short,) list or scroll down
Wednesday: Róisín Murphy hits the stage at X-Tra

I'm totally enamored with the rich tapestry of Japanese culture, where every little thing is packed with deep symbols and hidden stories. Guess what? This Saturday, the super-cool drumming squad Kodo is hitting up Zurich to drop some seriously awesome beats with their latest creations, «Tsuzumi» and «Warabe». More good news! I have 1 x 2 tickets to give away. Click the link or buttons find out how to win.

Sunday is the day when the whole world turns green: St Patrick's Day. Of course, Zurich has its very own connection to Ireland, as James Joyce, one of the world's most important writers, lived in Zurich. But let's be honest, St Patrick's Day is all about the «craic» and drinking numerous pints of Guinness. So I've put together a little list of places that should evoke the spirit of Ireland for you.
