thursday is the new saturday

At least that's what I learned while writing this article that appears in today's To Do section.

It's all about partying during the week, and the local rise in Monday-Friday theme nights at local bars. Breda Gleeson, owner of Scruffy Murphy's, told me that the Downtown Nightlife Association -- a group of local bar owners -- is planning even more promotions to get patrons downtown mid-week. Expect to see new events beginning as early as next month.

Tonight's Thursday, and you can pretty much find any theme night you want, from open mic at Fountain City to girls' night Viva la Diva at Houlihan's (800 Front Ave.).

Need another incentive to party? Consider this beer that's believed to make your boobs bigger. It's not yet available in the U.S., but recent custom changes have allowed it to be taken out of its homeland, Bulgaria.

Anyone game for an international road trip?
