Yesterday was my 26th birthday! I didn’t do anything super significant, seeing as it was a Wednesday and all, but will be doing the 2nd Annual Clinelympic Games on Saturday. annual contest of athletic skill and mental fortitude. The events consist of racing at FastKart, laser tag/bowling/arcade games at Boondocks, with the closing ceremonies held at Squatter’s in SLC. Last year was a blast, and it’s looking to be pretty awesome again this year.

As for local events today, you’ve got plenty to choose from. Lots of action going on at the Eccles Community Art Center tonight, as well as karaoke at Wing Nutz and Club 366 tonight. It’s also the last day to catch Save the Date with Lizzy Caplan and Alison Brie over at the Art House Cinema.
