Join the Mile High Club with Flamingo Air’s blessings
On Intel’s sex survey, at least one respondent said their kinkiest sexual fantasy was to join the Mile High Club, and plenty of you responded that you’d love to have sex in a public place. So all you exhibitionists might be interested to hear that Cincinnati-based airline Flamingo Air is offering a romantic package for couples to have sex in the sky. For the price of $425 passengers will receive 60 minutes on a private plane with chocolate, champagne and a “very discreet pilot.” If Valentine’s Day with your sweetheart wasn’t exciting enough, Ohio is only a few hours away.
Things we’d rather spend $50 on than Tisdahl’s State of the City address
If you just can’t get enough of Mayor Tisdahl’s unparalleled oration skills, make sure to attend the State of the City Address on March 2. Just bring $50—the cost for non-Chamber of Commerce members. Hmm…at such a low cost, do we even have to think about going to Tizzy’s SOC address? To help you decide, we’ve compiled this list of eight things we’d rather drop 50 bucks on. Check it out after the jump. more 
Take your lover on a Northwestern-style Valentine’s date
Valentine’s Day just really isn’t that great. Either you’re in a relationship and forced to get food-baby full and have sex or you’re alone in your room with a bottle of wine and Friday Night Lights—how romantic. But this year you’re going to make V-Day bearable by seeing the wrong in your ways. No matter what type of relationship you’re in, Intel has some suggestions to make your Valentine’s date everything you’ve been dreaming of and more. more
Spend this weekend at an anti-Valentine’s Day cabaret
if you find yourself lonely and depressed this Valentine’s Day, as most of us probably will given Northwestern’s lamentable (read: nonexistent) dating scene, what better way to temporarily escape your own misery than by ridiculing that of others? Cheer yourself up at Letters/X, an anti-Valentine’s Day cabaret that exposes the problems that plague real couples in relationships. Composed entirely of letters, emails, texts, Facebook posts and other mediums submitted by the public, the show deals with anything from heartbreak to weird fetishes. Let’s be real: Love is overrated, but so is complaining about how overrated it is. So this year, do yourself a favor. Ditch the “Fuck Yeah, We’re Single”-type parties and the sourpuss attitude, and head to the Apollo Theater for an evening of entertainment that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Get the deets after the jump. more 
Creative V-Day gifts for the clueless
Candy and roses, champagne and assorted chocolates, it’s all been done before and maybe has even become a little contrived. Ditch the teddy bears and take a look at some alternatives to the traditional Valentine’s Day gifts you should consider. Your significant other will approve. more
Entice your Valentine’s Date with quiche and bellinis
Depending on your relationship status – and how attached to said relationship you really are – Valentine’s Day can either be a heart-filled celebration complete with pink and red, flowers and chocolate or a day where you pretend to remember what number comes after 13. On the other hand, Valentine’s Day is really just a celebration of love, so it doesn’t really matter what’s going down as long as you’ve got somebody or a whole group of somebodies to celebrate that four-letter word with. more
Survey shows it’s best to forgo Valentine’s Day in interest of savings
If you’re still searching for that special someone to fill the lonely void on Valentine’s Day, that’s pretty normal. The Pew Research Center has found that 44 percent of Americans ages 18-29 think marriage is obsolete, so why bother tying yourself down at all? It sure saves a ton of money that college students don’t have: the average man will spend $160 for their valentine, and women $75. The survey also shows people spend about the same amount on their pets as they do on their teachers, classmates and coworkers. So if you’re not celebrating at all, just think of all the pizza and booze you can buy instead with your hard-earned cash.
A week of holiday-themed pregames and basement concerts
This week’s Party Report kicks off with the most polarizing of fêtes: Valentine’s Day, the holiday probably best spent drunk. The romance pretty much dies out right there, but the seasonal revelry continues throughout the week to include a basement concert, an art gallery gala, and a New Year’s Eve party (dudes, it’s the end of February, come on). Here’s hoping we get to report a Presidents’ Day party next week. more
The week of romantic love, college love, and Chaze love
We started off the week celebrating the most dreaded loved holiday of the year. We shared three Valentine’s Day confessions: self love, sex and good old-fashioned romance. Yes, even the self-loathing type like us can enjoy a good romantic story. We also compiled a list of music majors’ recommendations for top hook up songs and published a date night comic. But let’s be serious, our V-Day gift to you couldn’t begin to compete with Chet Haze’s much-anticipated mix tape “Get Hazed” released Feb. 14. Naturally, we spent the wee hours of Monday morning listening and analyzing every track. more
