Nov. 11, 2011 is ...

Veterans Day.

Opening day of Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville (don't go this weekend unless you have a ticket -- it's sold out. Try another day. Admission is free).

The day that the 11th person to walk into the Capital Hotel Bar & Grill for lunch will get it on the house, and the 11th couple to arrive for a dinner reservation at Ashley's at the Capital can enjoy chef Lee Richardson's three-course tasting menu for two, paired with wines, for $111.

A popular date to get married.

A lucky number for many people.

The 100th anniversary of the Great Blue Norther of Nov. 11, 1911 (a cold front that affected the central United States during which cities had record high temperatures in the early afternoon and record dropping temperatures by nightfall). 

A portal to parallel universes (that one's from illusionist Uri Geller, who is fascinated by the number 1111).
