It falls on a Friday this year, and there's no avoiding the pink menace. Instead of hiding because you're single, revel in the fun to be had. Spend the evening with like-minded individuals and who knows?

The Humboldt Hookup with Sherae O'Shaughnessy is at Six Rivers Brewery on Friday, Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. with all kinds of flirtatious fun that people in monogamous relationships have to forgo. Take that, happy couples.

Looking for something more classic but with a little brass? How about some Bach via brass and pipe organ over at HSU? Pipes from the Heart is free and starts at Armstrong Hall at 8 p.m. on Friday. There's even going to be chocolate.
