Lounge-y club with exposed brick and a backlit bar to offer your sweetheart a touch of class that will be cut repeatedly as it travels from catatonic art-drone to rock and roll with a 90's sensibility until finally arriving at pop sludge – which all work particularly well for humping.
Outfit: something low-cut and drape-y, with fringe.
Price: $0

BODY ACTUALIZED CENTER
w/ Labanna Babylon, gorgeousTaps, Angelina Dreem, Melike, DJ Amourette, DJ Strange English, Amy Jenkins, Lucid Harrington
When the barriers between yoga and performance art and orgy and “just us girls eating chocolate on Valentine's 'cause guys suck” become clear as shower curtains there is literally only one thing left to do – get a small reptile, braid it into your hair, and slither out to BAC.

Price: $5-$10 sliding scale

HOUSE OF SCREWBALL
w/ Miss Darcey, DJ Sex Libris, Jane LeCroy, Matthew Silver, Philipe Philippsen
Performance art house party with ancient undertones – tarot readings, a dude dressed as John the Baptist offering himself sexually, poetry, and accordions. Never a need to graffiti walls with, “Keep Bushwick Weird,” ever.
Outfit: exposed breasts covered in electrical tape, powdered chest hair.
Price: $7

Without prior experience on the matter I'll refer to the user review: “Mr Italy…wow!”

CUTE — BUT IS IT BETTER THAN OYSTERS?
WEBSTER HALL
w/ Total Slacker, Hunters, Xray Eyeballs, Cassie Ramone, DJ Serpent (DIIV), DJ Rambo

Rating:
LE POISSON ROUGE
w/ Teengirl Fantasy, Laurel Halo, Kelela, La Big Vic (Record Release Party) and Fatherhood (DJs Michael Magnan x Physical Therapy)
We get it: the Poison Fish is kind-of French, and in going to this show, “music” is your Valentine. It's a stretch, that's all I'm saying.
Outfit: black velvet, Vespa helmets.
Price: $12a, $14d

ROX GALLERY
w/ DJ SpeakerFoxx
The event's smooth jazz advertisement gif crashed my browser, which is fine because it's miseleading. This will be a sweat lodge in a former Jimmy Jazz storefront, cramped with 10000 clean-looking youth chugging sponsored liquor, none of whom are on dates.
Outfit: some bullshit from Opening Ceremony.
Price: $25
Rating:
CAMEO GALLERY
w/ Lemonade, ILLLS, Empress Of, DJ Heathered Pearls, DJ Evan Michael
The concept of neutrality in an e-flame war may be baffling but I can't make an argument for or against this party. It just is.
Outfit: the robe you stole from Night Spa.
Price: $10a, $12d

EVENTS THAT ARE STRAIGHT BLIND TO MY NEEDS: Has the D-I-Y community lost its loving feeling?
THE SILENT BARN
w/ Zula, Jane Eyre, Quiet Loudly, Slonk Donkerson
Maybe they thought it was O.K. to lovelessly promote this show because one of the bands has a dick name.
Outfit: who cares
Price: $7
Rating: 
BIG SNOW BUFFALO LODGE
w/ Mechanical Animals, siff-RIP-us, Pajama People, Ice Cream
Pajamas and ice cream sound better than going to this totally unromantic getaway.
Outfit: something with a lot of secret pockets
Price: $???
