text: I go to Rips only when Obscura is happening the second Saturday of each month I do not know if it is only during Obscura but drinks are way cheaper than other bars between I am not sure how they determine that as some bartenders only charge me and others Sometimes there are kind of annoying drink promoters there handing out such fun things as footballs and key chains and shots of whatever drink they are promoting nnObscura is a fun time for people who like good music As in good music I mean cool music that is considered indie andor Brit pop good stuff from the s The DJ Roya and DJ Funkfinger always bring a good show Obscura also features prizes from a raffle I have never won but at least one or more of my friends wins each time The prizes include new release CDs tickets to shows etc nnRips also has numerous other theme nights but I have not been yet I am sure those might be just as fun I get invites from their Facebook account for s night and other theme nights nnI will definitely be back in the next months during Obscura
