$10 Well Spent: The History of Porn

Day: Friday, June 13, 2008
Event: The History of Porn, "Beyond Boogie Nights"
Location: Good Vibrations (308-A Harvard Street)
Cost: Free

The deal:  The Good Vibrations porn shop is hosting a screening session with sexologist Dr. Carol Queen. Queen will discuss the "Golden Age" of porn and the evolution of the adult film industry. The event includes an in-store party with an opportunity to check out pocket rockets and fuzzy handcuffs.

Post-screening munchies: Hit up Baja Betty's Burritos (3 Harvard Square) for the Starvin' Student Special.
Cost: $5.00.

The deal:  This local student hot spot is a great place to socialize and get a mountain of food on a budget. As the name "Starvin' Student Special" implies, hungry students get this meal with a burrito a side of rice and beans with a soda. The unofficial spokesman Brett Albert says, "the Northeastern students helped create the phrase 'it's so big, it's plain stupid,' referring to the gargantuan California burrito, which is also less than 10 bucks.

If You Want To Take Em' Home: Cask 'N' Flagon (62 Brookline Ave) for a large Pitcher of Miller Lite
Cost: $5.00.

The deal: This is how you seal the deal and take someone home, if you're interested in such things. Instead of slipping your significant other a roofie, get blasted on the largest pitcher in town at Cask 'N' Flagon.

Event:           $0.00
Drink:            $5.00
Food:            $5.00
Grand Total: $10.00

At the end of the night, if you have anymore money left, you can save it for the Miss Boston Contest on Saturday. You'll have a buzz from the pitcher, but take the time to hang in Harvard Square, you might get a glimpse of the infamous prophet that spews his own brand of religion from day to day.
