There's a few out-and-about options of note Tuesday night. Looks like they're launching a poetry series at the library. There's a couple earnest bands at the Palm. If you think you're funny, they'll totally let you get onstage at Jambalaya.
Those things are fine, even if similar gatherings have happened before. But to your Lowdown's recollection, there's never been a public Super Mario Bros. Speedrun Contest in the county like the 8-bit bloodsport they're hosting at HumBrews tonight. (Note: The term "speedrun" in the videogame lexicon refers to the practice of attempting to beat a given video game in the shortest possible time. If you did not know that, you are not a nerd.)
May your princess not be in another castle, HumCo.
