Friday night gets all the love, Wednesday night has its nudge-wink "hump day" cachet and everyone hates Mondays so much that there's no choice but to go out and wash that start-of-the-week ennui away. But what about Thursday, the day of the week where people are most likely to put socially-outgoing good times off until tomorrow? Well, there's a dance night for that, too, and it's worth hitting: the First Avenue VIP Room's weekly Bungalow dance night features DJ Verb X, local champion of hip hop, reggae and reggaeton, who provides the kind of wall-to-wall bangers that only true veterans can assemble. Factor in the low cover charge -- three bucks if you drop in before 11 pm -- and you've got a great option for night-before-payday partying. (Photo by Chris Yunker)
