Charles Baudelaire instructed us to get drunk, and he didn't care if it was on wine, virtue or poetry. It's not Friday yet, so save the wine for tomorrow night, and let's face it — virtue is overrated. It's better you go get sauced for free on the poetry of the widely published Jim Moore, author of Lightning at Dinner, who will read along with the senior poets of Colorado College at 7 tonight in the Gates Common Room (1025 N. Cascade Ave., coloradocollege.edu). Moore was unable to make a previously scheduled reading earlier this year, which explains your déjà vu. — Nick Chambers
