5 Things: Stand-Up, Singer-Songwriter Line-Up and Jazz

1. Get acoustic. Hear Forge The Bell + Katie Mullins + Kelli Scarr at The Way Station. Don’t miss these three singers/songwriters perform, starting at 9 p.m.

2. Get out of Valentine's Day. Simply explain to your honey that Thursday night is the monthly Community Board 8 Meeting, and you couldn't live with yourself if you fell short on your duties as a citizen. Calvary Community Church, 1575 Saint Johns Place at Buffalo. 7 p.m. Don't think this will fly? Prospect Heights Patch will be live blogging it.

3. Get the giggles. Head to The Rock Shop in Park Slope for Shotgunnin' It, a night of free comedy. Tim Duffy (Mid-Evenings with Jay Miller) and Lukas Kaiser (Senior Writer at Spike TV) present an evening of "free comedy and binge drinking."

4. Get Jazzed. Don’t miss a great Pre-Valentines Day Jazz Performance at House of Art. Donald Smith and Tulivu-Donna Cumberbatch will explore the many facets of love, righteousness, forgiveness, patience, compassion and sensuality through song.

5. Get psyched. In observance of Ash Wednesday, alternate side parking is suspended today.
