Cheap V-Day Date Possibilities

Okay, here's the situation: you're broke and tomorrow is Valentine's Day. That cozy lil' Napa bed & breakfast your mate ooh'd and ah'd over? Not in the budget. Dinner at Postrio? Maybe when the economy improves. A dozen long-stemmed roses, champagne, and Godiva chocolates? Let me get back to you on that. In the meantime, you can score cool points with your honey, keep the wallet relatively unscathed, and hopefully have a happy ending (or two).

Here's what you do: Go dancing. SF has plenty of nightlife, and with several V-themed parties assisting Cupid in aiming that arrow, you're practically guaranteed to get invited back to your object of desire's love den at the end of the evening. Note: this advice applies to both single folks and those in committed relationships--no one want to be alone Valentine's night, so even butt-ugly dudes might be able to pull a supermodel if they play their cards right. Or vice-versa (lol). We'll tell ya where to go after the jump.

Okay. You made it. Great. Now, about those cheap thrills you intend on having. How about "Nothing But Love" at Mighty, featuring out-of-town superstar DJs Rich Medina and DJ Spinna (along with local yokels Hakobo, DJ Destroyer, and Rubix), spinning love songs from disco to broken beat to soul to Afrobeat to house? Click here for discounted presale tickets. Want more options? For all you techno-crats, house-heads, and admirers of women DJs, there's the House FM tour at Ruby Skye with Colette and DJ Heather, who will be dropping breaks and builds until you beg for mercy or submit to sweet surrender, whichever comes first. Click here for presales and save some cash.
