Love is in the Air in DC... Feb. 14th Only...

I'm not a lover or a hater of Valentine's Day; But I do love candy hearts, anything pink, and being romantical. Regardless of whether or not your single, taken, wifed up, engaged, swinging, hating the opposite sex, or have the "it's complicated" status up on your Facebook page, take advantage this Monday to do something fun in Obama's town (I wonder what him and Michelle are doing? Nanny for the children Monday evening, perhaps?):

• Check out the Georgetown Love Potion event and get bamboozled with your girls or your boo. For the 14th only, Georgetown bars are creating their very own drink specials based on love-oriented themes that are sure to capture your sweet tooth, get you in a whimsical mood, and leave you with a delicious hangover work work on Tuesday morning.
• Go to the ''Crimes of Passion'' event at the National Museum of Crime and Punishment. Though I'm not into the idea of getting handcuffed through a museum with my significant other, enjoy one of my favorite museums in DC. For $30 per couple, enjoy some pretty sick exhibits, a complimentary cocktail and the end, and souvenir handcuffs that you get to take home with you. Bow-chicka-wow-wowww is right...
• Go to ''Woo at the Zoo'' a free event at the National Zoo where you get to learn about animal mating and their reproductive habits in a pretty funny venue. Gorilla sex? This sounds like an LMAO-type event to me.
• Go on the DC Chocolate Tour. Every Valentine's Day, those weird double-decker tour busses actually offer tours at every chocolate hot spot in the city. I didn't realize DC was the new Switzerland, but it could still be kind of cute I guess.
• Do something charitable and take part in the Cupid Undie Run on February 12th around the Capitol Building, where participants run around the Capitol in Valentines-themed undies to support the Children's Tumor Foundation. Totally funny AND you're helping out your community.
• Take part in the Nudie Scavenger Hunt, sponsored by the National Portrait Gallery on Valentine's Day. For $22, search DC high and low for different displays of nude artwork, with prizes awarded at the end of the day. I would never pay money to do a Scavenger Hunt, but who knows, it could wind up really funny.

Don't be a loser and anti-Valentine's Day. Sure, it grosses me out when people PDA and are super over-the-top about it, but be festive for once and enjoy one of these fun happenings in the city.
