•BuzzWord: an Adult Spelling Bee at Urban Lounge
I can certainly remember my 6th grade spelling bee. I was ousted on the word, “mirrored.” Ya know, I’ve never used that f@*king word in my life until I got an iPhone and an Apple TV. Funny how life works. I suppose I can redeem myself with the assistance of Jameson and local brew.
•Town Hall Meeting with Jason Chaffetz at Brighton High School
Mr. Chaffetz will now take your questions. According the tip line, this event hasn’t been advertised much and the location keeps changing because it seems there are alot of people who have a lot of things to say to this guy, so be alert and prep your questions for Utah’s very own national spotlight grabber. According to KUTV, “The representative of Utah’s Third District can expect to find between 1,000 and 2,300 people in the Brighton High School auditorium Feb. 9, according to a Facebook event. So many people have RSVP’d to the meeting, it was moved from Cottonwood Heights’ City Hall to the high school.”
NOTICE: The Feb. 9 Town Hall meeting with @jasoninthehouse has been moved from City Hall to Brighton HS, across the street @bengalsbhs

•Run the Jewels at The Complex

•Color Me Badd at Liquid Joe’s
How about a little pre-Valentine’s Day romance with Color Me Badd. Sing it with me now, “Oooooo ooo oo OOOOO, I wanna drink some of that beer from your cup!” Or something like that.
•James Thomas Woodruff of Hawthorne Heights at Loading Dock
You remeber him from Hawthorne Heights and now you can remember him from the Loading Dock
•Mike Doughty at The State Room
It must be guys-you-knew-who-were-in-bands-before-playing-solo-night in Salt Lake. You might remember Mike when he went by M. Doughty and played in Soul Coughing. I wouldn’t expect many of those songs as interviews I have heard him in has him expressing that was not too happy of a time in his life.
•All Star Monster Truck Tour at Maverik Center
Things will be crushed. If you don’t like my brevity, here’s what the promoters had to say about it: “The All Star Monster Trucks return to The Maverik Center for 3 all new ground pounding events, Friday, February 10th and Saturday, February 11th!

•Heather McDonald at Wiseguys
Having be outside of the demo that would have me know who she is, Heather McDonald is known from Chelsea Lately. I have never seen that show. I know who Chelsea Handler is. She likes to drink. I think her and Heather had some sort of falling out. Anyway, I suspect there are a lot of jokes about raising kids while drinking lots of white wine. “For it’s entire seven-year run, Heather wrote, produced, and was a regular cast member on E!’s Chelsea Lately. You can also catch her on a variety of shows, including Watch What Happens Live, Wendy Williams, Real Housewives of Orange County, and Keeping Up With the Kardashians. She recently debuted her first Showtime standup special I Don’t Mean to Brag…, now available on Netflix. Heather also hosts and produces the hit podcast Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald. Totaling close to a million downloads a month, the show features celebrity interviews, pop culture news, and much more.” 21+. Shows Saturday as well.
•Bill Maher at the Eccles Theatre
You watched the HBO show, Real Time with Bill Maher just last night. Now watch him bring the topical and political jokes tailor-made for a Utah crowd to the new Eccles Theatre.
•Cupid’s Undie Run
Put something tight on your junk and show off your winter body without all those modest Utah layers on. Plus, it’s for charity. “BIG party. “Brief” run. Raising millions! Cupid’s Undie Run is a 4-hour party with a mile(ish) fun run in the middle. No, we’re not crazy, we’re just crazy serious about raising money for the Children’s Tumor Foundation. We raised over $3.5 million in donations last year, so come join the fun and help us hit $4 million for 2017!”
