what's going on this weekend?

Some noteworthy events:

*Don't forget about speed dating Saturday at Fountain City Coffee. I don't have the full info, so it's probably best to e-mail speeddating@fountaincitycoffee.com. Good luck!

*Also, Phenix City nightclub Broad Street Blues celebrates its one-year anniversary Friday and Saturday night with giveaways, specials and live music. House band Peggy Jenkins and the Rhythm Roosters will perform beginning at 9:30 p.m. Cover is $5.
