Zima night
Saturday, May 26
Zima Clearmalt — which debuted during the “clear craze” of the 1990s — was discontinued in 2008. It’s back in limited production in case you still want to try “zomething different.” The Blue Velvet Lounge will be selling the lemon-lime beverage ($3 a bottle) and playing hot jams from the ’90s. Free Jolly Ranchers, too. Should be phat. At 430 W Gilman St., 7 pm-10 pm.
