Salsa, both the music and the dance, is hot and classy. And it only makes sense that the music, with all its fervor and jazz and whirling spark, draws all kinds of people together like moths to a flame. It is magical in that way. And what is wonderful about it is that CU is always hosting it somewhere.
...
Salsa plays at Radio Maria on Saturday nights, Cowboy Monkey on Wednesday nights and V. Picasso on Fridays. Even those who can’t dance can always learn or just sit back and soak in the atmosphere — the splashes of bright yellow walls and the spinning bits of spotlight on hardwood floor and the red curtains and the web of arms and stomping feet — or simply the music. If anything, go for the music.
There's also a short history of Salsa in the rest of the article.
There are a lot of bars in town that now offer trivia with prizes. Heck, if you are smart enough, and have a wise group of friends, you can probably go out for several nights a week for free.
If you know of something I'm leaving off, let me know.

It's the weekend. Well, almost. Where are you drinking? Where are you watching the Blackhawks? Do you even care about the NBA Finals?
If you are looking for a place to watch the NHL Finals, you'll have to be selective in your choice of bars. Not all of them have the Versus Network (for the games at Philly). After tonight, the rest of the games are on NBC.
Game 4 tonight will be fun to try to find.
I know it will be on at:
Hooters Buffalo Wild Wings (both locations in CU) Old Chicago Crane Alley Firehaus (official Blackhawks Bar) Kam's (official Blackhawks Bar) Jupiter's at the Crossing Tumble Inn Buttita's Houlihan's
Places I know that won't have it are:
Radio Maria (although Jacob will yell out scoring updates) Blind Pig Blind Pig Brewery Seven Saints Mike n' Molly's
My recommendation for the best beer is, of course, Crane Alley. The best view is at Hooters, the best pizza is probably Jupiters at the Crossing, unless you like Old Chicago; the best wings is BW. The place that most smells like vomit is Kam's.
So find a place to sit back and watch the game; and go Blackhawks!
(I'm hoping it's on at Guido's)
