Hot for teacher

I'll post the full roundup of weekend parties soon, but I want to remind you that tonight is Teacher Appreciation Night at the Shanty Shack, 4475 Warm Springs Road.

Beginning around 4 p.m., local teachers will pack the Shack and enjoy games, drink specials and more. Foreplay plays at 6 p.m. No cover.

To anyone who's offended by the concept, I say lighten up. Things could be much worse.

Case in point: Mary Kay Letourneau, who served a prison sentence for having an affair with a sixth-grader, is hosting "Hot for Teacher" night at a Seattle bar.
