ITHACA LOVES YOU! You've worked hard and deserve to kick back and relax. You and a guest are invited to join us at the State Theatre of Ithaca to listen and dance to the tunes of the Bob Roberts Calamity. Best described as "Nostalgia-laden alternative rock that will bring you back to the era of double wide JNCO jeans and Motorola beepers. BRC is all that, and a bag of chips. Be there or you can talk to the hand, maaaannnn!"
We'll treat you to one complimentary drink and light hors d'oeuvres. Come relax and renew during your mid-winter break. Be sure to download your digital pass to check out Ithaca Loves Teachers lodging deals and make a night of it! For more information on Ithaca Loves Teachers, click here.
