Look, Valentine’s Day is lame. Unless you are Catholic, which I have a feeling very few Racket readers are, you have no real reason to celebrate Valentine’s Day unless you are trying to get laid, or you’re trying to show off in hope of a future lay. I mean, you COULD be trying to impress a future spouse, in which case, good for you. If you are looking to get through this shitty, fake ass holiday, you have some choices.
Angelyne’s Love Party, hosted by Bobbi DiCarlo & The Starlites
If you want to enjoy yourselves on Valentine’s Day with drag, burlesque, and glamour, show up to this wonderful evening hosted by the gorgeous Bobbi DiCarlo and her, uhhh, standard-looking band The Starlites.

Go to a metal show
Valentine’s Day is on a Friday this year, so everything that’s normally packed with people trying to unwind after a shitty week at work will be filled with people desperately trying to get laid, too. Hold off until Saturday and go see Amon Amarth at the Wiltern and you’ll be banging in no time. Head-banging, that is. Their new album is called Deceiver of the Gods, so you just know it will be wholesome fun for you and your date. Word on the street is that this is the only US date with a fucking Viking Ship as the set. That’s awesome.
I mean, look at this shit:
Angel City Derby Girls season kickoff:
I’ve chatted with Racket readers about the Angel City Derby Girls before, but it’s a grand ol’ time watching chicks tougher than you ever will be move at high speeds on 8 wheels, often smashing into each other. They put together a video with their opponents, at least one of whom is apparently a Star Wars fetishist. 2014 season launches Saturday, get in on it.
Make dinner yourself
Here’s an idea: if you are trying to prove to a potential life-long mate that you are worth a damn, maybe try cooking something your damned self. If you are new to cooking, let me help you with a roast chicken and root vegetables dinner that is solid.
Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
1/2 sweet potato
4 fingerling potatoes
3 purple potatoes
1 parsnip
2 carrots
10 asparagus stalks
10 brussel sprouts
1 tbsp hungarian paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut all produce into 1/4″ chunks, coat in salt, pepper, 1 tbsp of the paprika and olive oils. Drop ’em on a baking pan, let them shits go for an hour.
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and the other half of the paprika on the chicken tits, and sear those bad boys on a pan. Toss them in the oven with the root veggies until they are as cooked as you want.
Put all that shit on a plate, serve.
Go outside.
Take your dogs for a walk, go for a hike, go to a park, or, if you are enjoying California’s lack of seasons, even go to the beach. This shit is free and stress relieving. AND, you’ll burn calories instead of shoving conversation hearts down your throat.
