2) Bowl Under the Blacklights

If you're looking for a little something different to do tonight, check out Warrior Lanes' X-Treme Bowling. For $5 a game and $2.50 shoe rentals, you can bowl under blacklights, jam out to the music and party well past your bedtime. That's 1 a.m. for all you early birds.

3) Happy Birthday to the Man on the Moon!

Happy 81st birthday, Neil Armstrong, who, if you don't recall, was the first man ever to walk on the moon. It was Armstrong who uttered one of the most famous phrases in pop culture history, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

4) The Weather

Looks like it's going to be a cooler day than most we've had in recent memory. KCCI says we're looking at a mostly cloudy day with isolated storms and temps in the low 80s.

5) Less Pain at the Pump

If you're hitting the road for the weekend, you might consider stopping at the Kum & Go at Fourth & Laurel Streets to fuel up. Gas there is just $3.58 a gallon, according to IowaStateGasPrices.com
