The answer is simple: white lies. No, seriously, indie rock post-punks White Lies are playing a set at Emos tonight. And spending your Friday evening with your besties while rocking out to the British trios rad beats sounds way cooler than wearing heels and eating overpriced steak. Emos Austin Boston Lets face it, there are plenty of ways to celebrate Valentines Day, but the coolest options always seem to be the ones where youre actually not celebrating it at all, from streaming an awesome Anti-Valentines Day playlist while shouting the lyrics at the top of your lungs, to catching your favorite cult classic at a local wine bar. Lucky for you weve got the ultimate anti-playlist available to stream right here, plus Belly Wine Bar is screening The Rocky Horror Picture Show tonight--AKA best un-V-Day ever. Belly Wine Bar Chicago Yes, its freezing out, but the best way to keep warm (and to feel better about all those hot chocolates youve been devouring every morning) is to hit the road in your sneaks--and to do it for a good cause.
