need a date?

During a trip to Fountain City Coffee this afternoon, I serendipitously learned about a whole bunch of cool upcoming events, including a Geek Night. But that's another story for another time.

Now, I'm telling you guys that Fountain City will host speed dating Saturday, Feb. 9, at the coffee shop's new location in The Landings. I think it's limited to participants 18-25, and I'm not sure of the time. Anyway, e-mail speeddating@fountaincitycoffee.com for more info. You can also check their Web site, available here, but I saw now mention of upcoming events on there.

This brings up a good question. Saturday's like five days before Valentine's Day. (shudder)

What's the cutoff point for finding a Feb. 14 date without looking desperate?
