Hold onto that feeling How do you know when to call it a night and leave the karaoke bar? When you’ve heard two versions of “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Benny and the Jets.” Oh, Dino’s, how I love thee. — April Corbin, web content editor

Birthday spirit Kudos to the Weekly’s own Allison Duck, who found my wife on Facebook and, through a coordinated effort, helped ensure I got a bottle of Glenfiddich’s Snow Phoenix for my birthday. — Ken Miller, associate editor

Joke’s on me The fake relationship I posted on Facebook for April Fool’s Day didn’t exactly produce the results I wanted. I thought an engagement with Bed Bath & Beyond registry invites would have produced more laughs and less questions. Next year? — Mark Adams, listings coordinator

“B” memories R.I.P., Tura Satana. We’ll be thinking of you Friday when the Arts Factory Bar+Bistro screens Russ Meyer’s Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! along with live burlesque performances beginning at 8 p.m. — Kristen Peterson, staff writer

Sign language Dear Pad Thai Restaurant on Charleston and Rancho: Your “Short Term Parking” sign doesn’t help me. Please be more specific. — Rick Lax, staff writer
