Gotta say, not sure if it's because this romantic-est of days falls on a Tuesday or not but, event-wise, this Humboldt Valentine's Day is somewhat lovelorn. Looking back at previous year's V-Day Lowdown listings revealed a wealth of music, dancing and lovey-dovey spectacle. This year, it seems you're going to have to get creative, lovers.
Sure, there are a few out-and-about highlights. Let's spread the love:
