Are you alone this Valentine’s Day? Would you like to find someone who is as into faux-vintage clothing, obscure music and black plastic-framed glasses as you are? Head over to Local 16 this Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. for the Valentine’s Day Rock-n-Roll Dance Party. It’s free to enter, but you might want to bring cash to buy a drink for that dreamy indie girl or boy making eyes at you from across the dance floor.
