If you somehow don’t know that Valentine’s Day is Tuesday, February 14th, now you know. And if you have someone who you should be spending Valentine’s Day with, then you better get your butt in gear.
Here’s some Fremont-area ideas to get you started:
The first ever Cupid’s Undie Run, which benefits the Children’s Tumor Foundation, happens Saturday. Learn more about it here. Given that we have the Solstice Parade every year, the sight of people running around in their underwear should be no biggie.
On Monday, Sound Mind and Body Gym is hosting a wine and chocolate tastingfrom 4:30 to 7:00 p.m. Join Kelly at SM&B for a special Valentine’s Day Treat event with Theo Chocolate and wine from Shop Agora. Fitness coordinators will be giving information on the health benefits of certain food and fitness tips. This event is open to all members and non-members.
The Fremont Abbey is hosting a Valentine’s Day themed Round on Tuesday night. For this show you can expect some fancy tables for you and your date including special package deals with a bottle of good Washington wine and local dessert included, very ‘romantic’ (ie. good!) music, poetry, and live painting.
For those who want their Valentine’s experience to be literal, check out “See Me Naked,” the new one-woman show at West of Lenin. See Me Naked is an interactive comedy that explores personal boundaries and feelings relating to being naked, both literally and symbolically. Following a striptease fail, an embarrassed amateur burlesque dancer opens up to her audience about why exposing herself publicly is so difficult and so important for her to do. What starts as a comic monologue soon becomes a dialogue when she begins to question members of the audience about their own feelings regarding being naked.
And for all your obvious Valentine’s Day gift-buying needs, make sure you stop in see the following (via Fremont Chamber):
The Obvious: Bellefleur Lingerie, Theo Chocolate, Petals Flowers, Essenza, 509 Wines, Fremont Mischief Distillery
Cards & Funny Gifts: Portage Bay Goods, Not A Number Cards & Gifts
Books & Poetry: Book Larder, Ophelia’s Books

Well I do NOT like Sound Mind and Body.
The owners are Republicans who donated to John McCain and other even more offensive politicians. Talk about not having a shred of respect for the neighborhood your business represents.
Horrible business and horrible people. If you love your Valentine, stay away!!!!!

Is running around in your underwear the appropriate response to children with tumors?
Also, Theo Chocolate is overpriced and overrated.

I hate Not a Number. Tell them to take all that crap off the sidewalk. The sidewalk is ours not theirs.

I know they are a small business could not agree with you more about Not a Number. Imagine if every business thought they could put tacky signs and merchandise all over the sidewalk and up and down the street. I’ll never shop there.

Sean how can we file complaints with the city? It is really not fair what Not a Number is doing on the sidewalk. Today they even put something on the OTHER side of the street!

Here is where to file a complaint against Not a Number and their garbage up and down the sidewalks and across the street.

It’s humorous, no terrifying, that you believe the republicans hurt the small business in our communities, The democratic leadership is making it impossible via legislation for them to keep their doors open.. Wake up people, a socialist government is not the answer. 99% of the jobs in this country come from small business, and all this “reform” is just a redistribution of wealth from those that can’t afford it. So much for the American dream!

I couldn’t agree more with comment #8. The Cult of Obama drones are completely blind to the damage he and his fellow Socialists have done to America in the last three years. Want to stop the Democrats’ attacks on small-business owners? Want the economy to recover and people to get their jobs back? Vote Republican!

Jim,
I don’t know what your beef with Not a Number is, but on my commute this morning I counted a total of 8 side walk signs on Fremont Ave. N. and N. 35th St.–not one of which was a sign for Not a Number.

If there really is a problem you could do what Ballard did. We wrote a blanket letter to the offending businesses stating the safety concern and the legality. Only one business ignored it. And I know the folks at Not a Number wouldn’t ignore such a letter.

Jim, are you the same guy who tears down the flyers on utility poles?

They put a whole bunch of big ugly chairs on the sidewalk and put christmas lights on them. The signs go up and down the street and across the street.
It is illegal and must be stopped.

“They put a whole bunch of big ugly chairs on the sidewalk and put christmas lights on them. ”
They put one chair and it’s only there during business hours.
I think you are making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Besides, EVERY SINGLE business on that street has a sign out front.
