I know what you're thinking: "Brews for Boobies" sounds like a fairly average night out. Ladies use the boobies to get the free beers from the boys. The boys buy the beers hoping to get a pass to second base. Right? Oh so wrong. Brews for Boobies is an extra special pub crawl happening on Saturday, October 3rd in support of the American Breast Cancer Foundation.

We don't have to tell you that it's almost Thanksgiving. We can tell by that look of dread on your face that you're already anticipating a brawl with the in-laws or an endless evening of Uncle Jim-Bob recounting war stories while you battle indigestion and tryptophan-induced sluggishness.

Phillyist has a confession to make: We have never made it through James Joyce's Ulysses. Not even a little. We've tried. Oh, how we've tried. But though we've failed more times than we'd like to admit, we console ourselves that those with better minds have thrown their hands up in disgust and screamed, "Okay I get it! It's the *&%*#$ Odyssey! Jesus, at least Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was under 200 pages!"

As a lead-in to tomorrow’s Bloomsday Celebration, literati will be taking up a pub crawl in Joyce’s honor. The show gets rolling at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Fergie’s Pub (1214 Sansom Street), then continues with an Irish bar tour to McGillin’s (1310 Drury Street), Irish Pub (1123 Walnut Street) and Fadó (1500 Locust Street). If you don’t know your Ulysses from your Odyssey and are going to meet some book folks tonight, we suggestion you join in the fun at McGillin’s since Fergie’s will host a Joyce-themed discussion.

LAist tracks an award-winning TV writer who worked on Good Times to a homeless shelter and sees a Little Old Lady get a jaywalking ticket because she can't get across fast enough (in the same post!). Poets invade Metro and an LAist contributor's new book asks WWJB.

This is not about the upcoming performance of some members of The Hooters at the World Cafe later this week (although that's pretty cool, too). This post is about how this upcoming Easter Sunday you too can rise from the dead.
