Two Whole Things Happening: Open Souls and Pizza

If you have an affinity towards the voice, the wooden instrument or even know how to pluck the strings of angels on a guitar then please come and play for us at Starbucks, the one on campus, tomorrow at seven. Poetry/other ways of writing out loud, and the such is also adored and embedded in our sponge minds for years to come.

This event has been really epic every time I've been, and it's something you can attend alone if you want a night to the self or just haven't made friends yet (it happens and maybe you could make one there). I personally enjoy forsaking friends to go enjoy other people's art so that I'm not thinking of how my friend is enjoying it and changing my enjoyment based upon theirs. If you have a friend that either compliments art with competing views or you both enjoy art in the same way, then all the lovely power to you guys.
Also there's usually free Starbucks nomms.

Speaking of food there is free food and games at Mr. Gatti's tonight. =D
It is located at this spot: 5001 15th Street and it can happen in your life from six until nine.

Ready for a Sex Comedy in Lubbock (yes I fact checked those outrageous words)?

The gorgeous wonderful Alamo Drafthouse is showing the movie: R100.
The requirement is being 18, and older if you must. Hopefully no crying but I hear comedic tears on the horizon knowing the delicious booze that flow there (I'm a Vesper Martini gal myself).

This is the trailor: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/r100/107852512

See you there or see you not.

Other than that I believe some semi important football game is happening.

Decent Things are Happening

At Alamo Drafthouse there's a girl's night (girl parts not required and they do serve alcohol). It is a Pitch Perfect sing along night. I personally loved that movie and may belt it up.

Also the Whey Jennings Band is holding auditions for a bass player, a lead guitarist and a drummer (seems like they're looking for a band) for a project in the West Texas area. Held at Jake's Sports Cafe at 7.

Do the Zombie Creeps

Are you looking for some horror in your eyes tonight? Well you won't have to look too far, after you drive there that is, because the Alamo Drafthouse is doing a free showing of Night of the Living Dead at 7:30 tonight. This is the movie that traumatized me as a wee little child until I got over it from not seeing zombies everyday. Sharks are a different story, those still stain my dreams and cause a noticeable jump if they pop into my day *shudders at thought*...I saw Jaws when it still felt real.

Did I mention free? Yeah so the movie is free and you can get in without paying. Otherwise I think there is more snow tonight so plan to go jumping around in that, make shapes in it, create large shapes with it or throw it at people. It's actually a great day to be in Lubbock, who knew that could happen?

Monday Yellows (opposite of blue, I Googled it)

So we have been given this day off from school! Woo! You can use it to be efficient and studious with that planner and my personal favorite, Google Docs. If you go into your Google account and over to the Google Drive heaven you can make folders and then create documents or even upload images/anything. I download the syllabus from Blackboard, or email depending on the age of the professor, and then upload them to drive. If you've got time to library it you can go scan your notes and upload them to the folder as well, and then chill out in the library for a set amount of time that forces you to study, and studying around other peoples can help you study, peer pressure and all that jazz.

If you aren't in the mood to get all planned out then there are still many options available. I'm taking this day as relaxing so I suggest a movie. I read just yesterday, from a text message, that American Sniper has equal parts epic action to epic story. I personally recommend two less mainstream films. Wild stars Reese Witherspoon and she does that life shattering/stroking thing she does where it feels real. The story rotates around the idea of redemption and what it takes to both redeem and accept yourself/your life. The next I would recommend is The Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch and Kiera Nightly battling to break the code. I would elaborate but then show my full lack of knowledge on the intricacies of what they were doing, but it was excellent acting and story telling.

After the movie indulge all of your senses over at the Choc'late Mousse Pie Bar over at the Kingsgate center and tell them Ainsley sent you, it won't matter but it will make me smile. You get to choose a mousse and then a crust of wide and delicious variety. My favorite is the key lime but they made it seasonal despite my crying. If they have the cobbler available get that...and a pie bite...and hot chocolate...you might regret it but you'll be really happy for about ten minutes before you can no longer contain that happiness. I personally will be geeking on League of Legends for as many hours as I can justify.

Gatsby's Thumb Cookie and Lubbock Event Calendar

I have created a calendar with events going on in Luhbock. There's happy hours, live music and Alamo Drafthouse showtimes for your convenience. Not everything for February is on there because I'll be doing it by month to avoid spending too many hours on it.

If you're conflicted on where to get espresso know that you get a cookie if you choose Gatsby's. (Your choice should be made now).

Open Your Eyes to Coffee

It's the morning after partying, hanging out with a few friends or having  a forever alone night (reddit joke, if you don't know reddit it's time you go to it and give in to the rest of your life). You can go back to cuddle times or beast mode and venture out into the world of coffee shops.
My top three are Gatsby's (in Cactus Alley about five minutes from Tech campus), J&B on Boston and still five minutes from campus or Yellowhouse which is someplace in Lubbock (I don't recall right now and am too Google to lazy). If you want to be adventurous there's a place called Serios that  an old friend of mine opened, it is in fact reaching into your dreams and is a cereal and juice bar that has video game tournaments and live music, and it's supposed to be amazing and I might adventure there myself. Fair warning it is a family place so I would wait until a night to go instead if you want to avoid the children.

Now to decide if I should have coffee at home before I get espresso at Gatsby's.....
