Patch's quick take on the essential things to know, the most interesting things to do and best places to be on Friday, Aug. 2.

Here's a handful of things to keep in mind for today.

    If you have an event you'd like us to consider for Five Things, be sure to add it to the events calendar. We check it often!

    • There is still room in the final two weeks of the Moorpark Boys & Girls Club summer program. Find details and get registration forms on the club's website.
    • See a free movie in Camarillo. The Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District is screening The Pirates: Band of Misfits. The outdoor summer series movies generally begin at about 8 p.m. tonight at Pleasant Valley Fields, 150 W. Park Court, Camarillo.

    • Tired of ordering that same old caramel macchiato from Starbucks? Switch it up a bit and try out some of the drinks on Starbucks’ secret menu including a cotton candy or butterbeer  frappuccino
