WOOOHOOO!\u00a0 I just became the mayor of Downtown Walgreens on Foursquare<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Despite it being Valentine’s Day, there are actually several things going on Downtown today that don’t suck.\u00a0 Here’s the rundown for today, and also some other events this week:<\/p>\n

Kooky Canuck is celebrating Presidents Day a day early today.\u00a0 99 cent Bud Light draft all day.\u00a0 Hmmm I may just have to add Kooky as an additional Sunday Fun Day stop this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Kooky, they’re having a Mardi Gras party on Tuesday, with a special Cajun menu.\u00a0 Canadian meets Cajun… interesting.\u00a0 $2 Bud Light draft, Hurricanes, Hand Grenades.\u00a0 Kooky will likely be on my agenda after trivia ends Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

The Flying Saucer is having a Grizzlies watch party tonight.\u00a0 $2.75 New Belgium Blue Paddle, and I think there are other specials and giveaways as well.\u00a0 Sorry I don’t have details… usually I take pics of their flyers so I have all the info, but the only place this flyer was posted was the men’s room.\u00a0 Taking out a camera in the men’s room and snapping pics is a way to get a really bad reputation, so I just had to rely on memory.<\/p>\n

Tuesday, the Saucer has the drawing at 10 for the New Belgium Fat Tire bike hanging in the corner.\u00a0 You have to be present to win, and I likely will have moved on to Kooky, so I probably won’t be the winner.\u00a0 Oh well, I don’t see the point of replacing a $30 bike that never gets ridden with a $500 bike that will never get ridden.<\/p>\n

Thursday, the Saucer is having a big event.\u00a0 I think it involves the announcement of their new, improved UFO club, but not sure.\u00a0 They’re being artfully vague about it.<\/p>\n

Finally, tonight is the annual Anti-Valentine’s Day party at the Silly Goose starting at 8 PM.\u00a0 Bring a photo of your ex to put on their “dart board of shame,” and win a prize if you hit a bullseye in three throws.<\/p>\n

All right, time to jump in the shower, drink a bottle of Mountain Dew Throwback, and get the day started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
