1  Jump off cliffs on the Blackfoot.

It's like an outdoor amusement park on a river that's less than a half hour away.

2  Attend a home Griz game.

Even if it's just to watch the drunk people.

3  Float the river.

Don't have a tube? Rentals are $5 at the Army Navy store on Higgins.

4  Hike the M.

At midnight.

5  Order the Supernova at Big Dipper.

It's two brownies, six scoops of ice cream, six toppings, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry for $11.50. Split it with five new friends.

6  Go to Hemp Fest at Caras Park.

Don't just go to get the munchies. It's more legit than it sounds.

7  Throw a block party.

Permits are $135 on the city's website, but the fee is waived for residential debauchery.

8  Find a new favorite beer. (21+)

Do it in one day at the Maverick Brewfest in Caras Park Sept. 9, where more than 40 brews will be available.

9  Do First Friday.

Art, photography, music, free wine. Yeah, we think that sounds awesome, too.

10  Build a bike at Freecycle.

In exchange for volunteering two hours in the shop and taking one "bike well" class, they'll help you build a bike for free. Then you'll have a way to get to all these other cool things! The shop is on First Street and volunteer nights are Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m.

11 Watch a movie outside.
