As if you need an excuse to start your weekday drinking rituals:

• It’s night three of seven in a citywide series of alcohol-based benefits to support entertainment programming for Seattle’s underage scenesters. Each night of the week, a designated bar offers cocktail and beer specials to benefit the Vera Project (which is in the process of building a brand new home for themselves [vivavera]). They’re too young to drink, so it’s practically your civic duty to have an ice cold adult beverage for them. Tonight’s host is the Mirabeau Room. While you’re there (or at one of this week’s other venues), remember that being at the take your opportunity to buy a ticket for the grand finale event: a Friday night Iron Composer showdown between SNL’s Fred Armisen and a pair from the Shins, hosted by comedy heroes David Cross, Todd Barry, and Jon Benjamin. Drink up! [adrinkforthekids]

If you’re oddly opposed to Lower Queen Anne or Monday night drinking, the series continues at Linda’s (Capitol Hill), West 5 (West Seattle), and the Rendezvous (Belltown) throughout the week.
