<span>The weekend</span> is utterly without regret.
Thursday
THURSDAY FIXED
Half-Price Wine and Prix-Fixe at Blue 13
River North's finest tattoo parlor-inspired boite is offering dual specials. A $35 three-course gives you the run of nearly the entire menu (and an excuse to see what Steak and Eggs on Acid is all about), while half-priced wine bottles let you double your toasting output.
Friday
FRIDAY DANCE
XOXO at Crocodile
This new Wicker Park bar—already famous for giving out free pizza when you invest $5 on beer—now has a way for you to burn those extra calories: the new Friday night dance party featuring local bands, DJs and all your patented freestyle moves.
Saturday
SATURDAY LEGS
No Pants Subway Rides
This participatory prank—with riders of public conveyances in cities around the globe taking part—encourages folks to nonchalantly ride the Red Line sans trousers. So you don't have to keep those boxers you got for the holidays a secret any longer.
SATURDAY HAUTE TODDY

Monday
MONDAY BIG TEN
10-Cent Beers at L. Woods
Relive the good old days when all you had to worry about was Y2K causing a global apocalypse. L. Woods is throwing a one-day, 10th-anniversary blowout with $10 entrees, $1.10 desserts and 10-cent Schlitz, helping you party like it's 1999. Or in the case of the beer, 1899.
