Every Thursday, we give you this week's LGBTQ to-do list.
— Have you found your special Valentine yet? If not, you may want to make a last-ditch effort at a book lovers' speed dating event at Giovanni's Room's (345 S. 12th St., 215-923-2960) on Sat., Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. For $10 you can sip on wine and take part in three separate "getting to know you" rounds — one for men seeking men, one for women seeking women, and another for those crazy cats who are open to anything. Act fast if you're interested. They are asking participants to pre-register at madbooklove@gmail.com and fill out a questionnaire that may help you find someone compatible.
— In honor of Black HIV Awareness Day, the Washington West Project at the Mazzoni Center (1201 Locust St., 215-985-9206) will be extending its hours on Sat., Feb. 6 from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m for those interested in a free, anonymous check. The freedom of knowing your status is well worth the 30 minutes spent having the test done, so get out there and do it. We're talking about saving lives here.
— The Liberty Bears of Philadelphia are so excited about Valentine's Day that they're throwing a special event at the Bike Stop (206 S. Quince, 215-627-1662) on Sat., Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. called "Red Hot Bears Valentine Social." It's a free party, so come on out if you're in the mood to mingle and growl with a pack of assless-chapped daddies. Who knows, you just may find yourself in one of their caves before the night's over.
— If you're into guys in their skivvies — come on, who isn't? — you may want to take your ass directly to 12th Air Command (254 S. 12th St., 215-545-8088) on Sat. Feb. 6 at 10 p.m., where nine hunky models from Philly Gay Calendar will strut their briefed badunkadunks down the runway in an free underwear fashion show titled "Below the Belt." When they're not posing, the models will mingle with the crowd and dance to the music of DJ Fred Kolet. In addition to being hot, these guys are generous, too. All tips made that evening will be donated to MANNA, an organization that provides meals to the sick. Awwwwwww.
— I don't know the difference between a helmet and a yard line, but there are a few in the LGBTQ community who are excited about the Super Bowl. At Woody's (202 S. 13th St., 215-545-1893) on Sun., Feb. 7 at 5 p.m., the City of Brotherly Love Softball Team will host a viewing party with proceeds benefiting the team's fund to get to the 2010 Gay Games in Cologne, Germany. For a $10 entry fee guests will receive special door prizes and be entered in a 50/50 raffle. That sounds like a score to me!
