[Tikievents] Good news and bad news, Valentines

[Otto <otto@tikinews.com>]

Happiness abounds on the east coast as they will receive a new Trader 
Vic's  in Destin, Florida
It is said to be getting decked out very nicely with lots of 
artifacts from Oceanic Arts and is scheduled to open 23rd of April.
And of course the latest TV opening will happen in Dallas at the end 
of this month, or so.

and now for the bad news.
Valentine's Day haters (as opposed to lovers) might enjoy the following

Suicide Sinatra! at 540 club, San Francisco

In the 1950s, Frank Sinatra recorded four incredibly gloomy 
all-ballad albums: In the Wee Small Hours, Only the Lonely, No One 
Cares, and Where Are You? The Chaperone (that's me) will spin the 
grimmest tracks from these masterpieces, along with other 
appropriately gloomy selections from Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Billie 
Holiday, Johnny Hartman, and other wrist-slitting characters who know 
what Valentine's Day is really about.

This year, the grimness will be compounded by Ashely and Windy's 
morbid Valentines, Best Break Up Story Contest (complete with 
valuable alcoholic prizes!), and other distinctly a-romantic 
activities. They'll also take over the 'tables 'round midnight (when 
the Chaperone slinks off to slit his wrists) to spin gloomy '80s 
music from the likes of Morrissey and Joy Division.

Needless to say, the fantasitic 540 staff will be happy to satisfy 
all your needs with the stuff that satisfies all your needs: alcohol. 
And remember, you're not just drinking for yourself--you're drinking 
for the bitch/bastard who's not there, so make them all doubles.

It all starts at 9:00PM sharp at the 540 Club, 540 Clement, and 
continues until the hours grow too depserate even for the desperate.

Please omit the flowers. Because you know, in the wee small hours, no 
one cares.
