November 5: Guy Fawkes Night and First Thursday

November 5, 2009 by Dave 2 Comments

The weekend starts today.

It’s Guy Fawkes Night! But there are plenty of other things to do besides blowing up Parliament, or enjoying a groaty pudding:

Firstly, a couple Thursday events were featured in yesterday’s weekend roundup:

  • Siren Nation festivities start today – visit the website for details.
  • And the fall Adidas Clearance Event kicks off at the Expo Center.

And then of course today is First Thursday. (Let the fine drinkers at First Thirstday light the way).

Or, if you prefer music to art, head down to the Jade Lounge (2342 SE Ankeny) at 8pm for the GEMS & GIANTS show:

Cheap drinks and eats. Chill spot and beats.
It’s a time honored tradition.
Standing 8 & Clarence Duffy pulling those seldom heard sounds you crave all for free. For you. For real.
