We’re All Gonna Live.
There is more than one way to spice up a week. You could always dress up as a beer bottle and steal a couple pizzas, which would come with the added bonus of internet notoriety, but also probably an arrest.
But there are at least a dozen other ways with much less dire consequences. Leave the beer bottle costume at home (or don’t!) and check out these places this week.
