Weekend Preview 1.31.08

It’s the first weekend of the shortest month of the year. But just because there are fewer days in February (29 this leap year to be exact) doesn’t mean there are fewer events. In fact, there may be even more.

Thursday

End January with a bang. Start your night off swanky with martinis at Cavallino. We recommend the Gin Gin Mule or anything with tequila in it. Then, head to Sun Valley for music by the Paul Tillotson Trio. Have a drink or two while you listen to snazzy, jazzy sounds at the Duchin Lounge.

Friday

Kick off the weekend with an Avalanche Transceiver Clinic from 1-2:30 pm on Sun Valley Road. Then, enjoy an evening with the family at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey where musician Jose-Luis Orozco will perform. For the older crowd, enjoy another night of Sun Valley’s winter comedy series. Ken and Brady’s One Man Show will make you laugh until it hurts at the Boiler Room.

Saturday

It’s a big day for athletes in the Wood River Valley. The one and only Boulder Mountain Tour begins at 10 am at Galena Lodge. Pull on your spandex and Nordic skis and take the plunge, or bundle up to cheer on your peers. If you’re looking for more outdoor action, check at the Sun Valley Telemark Race Series, an Idaho original. End your day by the fire at Papa Hemi’s Hideaway where local band, Public Radio, will rock your world.

Sunday

It’s Super Bowl Sunday! What better way to spend the day recuperating from the weekend than on the couch and in front of the tele. Better yet, pay a mere $20 for all you can eat food and all you can drink beer at Whiskey Jacques. Then pray for a snow day on Monday.
