"This one is for the 5-foot-10 and up ladies and the over 6-foot fellas looking for love. Hit those marks and you'll enjoy $2 cocktails until midnight. But don't worry if you're not a tall glass of water; everyone is welcome to join. The vibes include live music by DJs Thowwow and Mousetwat, plus a dating game starting at 9 p.m. for a chance to win a paid Valentine's Day dinner at Sobre Mesa. Wednesday, Feb. 11, 8 p.m., free, Thee Stork Club, 2330 Telegraph Ave."

Wednesday, Feb. 11, 5 p.m., RSVP online, Grand Lake Theater, 3200 Grand Ave."
