Need to show that special someone that there's more to you than a dinner at the Border and an Adam Sandler movie? Pull that hair back in a casually messy do, don some paint-splattered black clothing, and a wooly sweater, and take a little jaunt towards Porter Square to let your tortured-artist personality emerge at the Lizard Lounge. (You know you're there when you see a gargantuan lizard plastered to an otherwise bland piece of aluminum siding.) The Jeff Robinson Trio presents "Jazz and Poetry"--enough poetry to titillate even the most avid of English concentrators. 1667 Mass Ave. 547-0759. FREE.
