1. Titus-Will Ford is hosting the Ford Food Truck Challenge from 4-7 p.m. with three objectives: eat, drive and vote. After you roll onto its lot at 36th and South Sprague in your crappy car, Titus, Will and crew ask you to chow down on samples from two competing food trucks, Crisp Creperie (Seattle) and Waffle Wagon (Kirkland), both parked on the lot. After you clean your hands, you'll be asked to test drive competing vehicles: Ford Fusion vs. Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion Hybrid vs. Toyota Camry Hybrid, Ford Escape vs. Subaru Forester and Ford C-MAX vs. Toyota Prius V. Finally, because you live in America, you can vote for your choice for the "Best Bite" and "Best Ride." Afterward, you can hop back in your crappy car and seek out more objects to judge. Suggestions?
2. Stone Brewing Co. will drop in on Pint Defiance 5-7 p.m. to chat beer while you drink your favorite Stone brews, including the Ruination RuinTen Anniversary Imperial IPA and the Espresso Imperial Russian Stout. Founded in 1996 by Greg Koch and Steve Wagner in San Marcos, Calif., Stone Brewing Co. has become almost synonymous with the craft brewing movement. Makers of some of the most highly sought-after beers, they are not afraid to experiment or break boundaries.
3. Pub trivia nights can either ignite the party or stifle the mood. McNamara's Pub & Eatery in DuPont does everything possible to avoid being a major buzz kill. Every Wednesday McNamara's Pub starts team trivia at 7 p.m. Irish-inspired food helps trivia players stock up on brainpower before the trivia starts. Beer and drink specials happen at trivia intermission. Because everyone knows a good buzz makes trivia that much easier. What's the capital of Kazakhstan? Take a drink and think.
4. Coke Bust is going down at 9 p.m. inside Le Voyeur.
5. In our youth, we were under the impression that "hump day" was the day that, you know, you humped. Having outgrown much of our Catholic school misleadings, we now know that hump day is really the day you dance your pants off at Jazzbones. Featuring DJ Timbo on the turntables mixing top 40 hits all night, and no cover charge, hump day can still be fun without the intercourse.
