How to have fun on Saturday night
The World Wide Web is your oyster

It's almost the weekend and you finally mustered up the gumption to ask the new latte girl at Espresso Emporium on a date. But now you're stuck -- where are you going to take her? The local paper's entertainment section was missing from your copy this morning and every newsstand is sold out (Damn that alien invasion. Like that's news).

Relax, you've still got time to avoid exposing her to your dark side with a night of America's Funniest Home Videos accompanied by a triple linguica pizza, pork rinds, Diet Coke, and hot fudge sundaes. The Net can help you. Regardless of your taste in nightlife, you'll find what you need in cyberspace. Cinema, live theater, sports events, concerts, and performance art is explained in all it's glory and minutia on the Internet. (Well, maybe not performance art.)

You can find out which movie is playing, what kind of film was used, and what blood type the director is, for pete's sake, all on the Web. You can even buy tickets to the show online. You can also decide which movie to see by visiting movie-review sites.

If it's music you seek, you're in luck. Take your pick from tour dates and big-city concert venues, replete with directions on how to get there and seating diagrams. Not to mention which refreshments the snack shack serves.

Plenty of restaurants publish menus online, and you can often even make reservations and order food. If you're thinking of staying in, you can find thousands of recipes on the Web with which to cook up a gourmet feast for you and your, uh, mouse. And you can order the groceries online, too.

If a quiet evening -- just you and your computer -- sounds inviting, you can always shop, play a game, listen to music, chat, or surf into the wee hours. Even if there's nothing going on in your life, there's always something happening online.
