Hot Dates
SpeedDate.com is holding an online event tonight. Speed dating helped get a lot of dating crap out of the way, and it's even more efficient online. On the website, you can use your webcam to meet people on 3-minute dates. Maybe you can find a hot date for Valentine's Day. SpeedDate.com, 8:00 pm.

Comedy
Lamont Price will be at the Paradise Lounge tonight with Mike Whitman and Dan Crohn. Bostonist hasn't seen Price yet but has seen Whitman tear up the stage at the Boston Comedy Festival. Sameer Naseem is hosting, and he already got the laughs started with the following post at lemmingtrail: "I AM GOING TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE DIS TING WILL GET BURIED BY THREADS ABOUT BURRITOS, FILMS, PHILOSOPHY BOOKS, AND BASIC SHIT LIKE "I JUST ATE A COOKIE." Oh, you will laugh tonight. 8:00 pm, $7.
