Are your friends becoming concerned by the amount of Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams videos you’ve sent them? Have you developed a newfound interest in hockey? Well then grab your Montreal Metros jersey and crank up Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe in Anything” because it’s time to go to the cottage. And by “cottage,” I mean Acme Feed & Seed’s rooftop for a Galentine’s Day celebration of the popular steamy hockey television show Heated Rivalry, which is based on the book series Game Changers by Rachel Reid. On Friday, Acme and local band Randy and the Mormons will host a Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov look-alike contest, featuring themed drinks and (PG-13) re-creations of some of the show’s famous scenes. Attendees are even encouraged to bring their favorite fan edits and fan fictions. (This is a safe space and, as Elena would say, you deserve sunshine.) Contest sign-up begins at 6 p.m., so show up early to discuss tuna melts, smoothie dates and Ilya’s iconic Episode 5 monologue.
7 p.m. at Acme Feed & Seed
101 Broadway
