Traditionally, Wednesdays are a social dead zone, so you have a routine: Cozy up on the couch, sip a little white wine while obsessively browsing online personal ads, and watch excessive amounts of television. Then, when that gets boring, it’s bedtime. Two tokes of Mary Jane and you’re out like a nightlight!

Well, no more. Yours is an increasingly creepy and sad situation that needs to change right now. From here out, midweek means party, and party means Purdy Lounge, where the (786) bash routinely rescues folks lost in a thick fog of funlessness. Led by DJs Ray Milian, Joshy Josh, and DJPJ, your therapy will include copious amounts of cheap alcohol, New Wave/indie/dance/psychedelic/pop tunes, and live acts such as past guests Panic Bomber and metal-disco duo Bandits. This is the road to recovery. Godspeed! Doors open at midnight, and there’s no cover.
