Hey guys - I'm a long time reader, but I've never actually posted a question before. I'm looking for something to do on October 24th. I had plans with my girlfriend to go out on romantic date, but she's since cancelled the dinner and is having a "girls night in" instead. I know you guys are playing Babylon on the 24th, and I'll definitely be there...but what am I supposed to between 5:00 when I get off work and your show? I'm not sure I feel comfortable going back to my apartment when all the girls will be there. Any suggestions?

DUDE! You definitely need to go back to your apartment. Just pretend like you are going to hang out alone in the bedroom. Because if I am correct on my assumptions about what goes on at a girls night, you will want to be there.
My advice is to wait in the room for about 30 minutes, that should be long enough for the wine to start kicking in (that's what girls drink). Because that's when they start taking each other's clothes off and having naked tickle fights and stuff. And you know what that means, soon they'll be making out! Try to take care of business by 9 or 10, because the only way to top off a night of crazy sex with a room full of ladies is to witness some amazing rock and roll. I envy you sir. God speed. |

Gary, you're the king and this is your castle. What kind of a man abandons ship at the first sign of an iceberg? Come on Gary, you need to stand firm on this one...it's your home and you have every right to be there. That being said, things between you and your girlfriend will be much nicer if you make an effort to "fit in" and not "ruin everything".
For any girls night to be a success you need three things: desserts, booze and talks about guys/sex. I'm sure you're comfortable with the first two... but the third one is the stickler. If you can handle graphic conversations about penis sizes and the best positions to try when ovulating, then you're in the clear... but if not, come to Babylon early and help us load our gear in. |

Looking at the other guys answers I noticed that their advice was to blend in with the girls. I disagree. I think you should embrace your manhood (figuratively....) and do MAN things.
1) Change the oil in your car. 2) Drink real beer (like Labatt 50 or Molson Dry.... not Stella Artois) 3) Bet on horses or migets or migets riding horses. 4) Buy some electronics that will make things bigger or louder. 5) Spit, scratch, burp, yell, punch whatever you can't when "she" is around. 6) Then head over to the show and be ready to experience some rock n' roll that is so hot it will melt your face. |

Since you have nothing to do besides go to Swiss Chalet for 5 hours...I say integrate yourself into the party....here we go.
Step 1: Buy all of Tori Amos' records, and listen intently so that you know the words. If no Tori Amos is available, then purchase Ani Difranco or Lisa Loeb records and do the same thing. Step 2: Start doing Pilates....good conversation piece. Step 3: Become disenchanted with a bunch of things so that you can be part of the support group. Step 4: Buy a bottle of wine, and read an Oprah book of the month. Bring the wine to the party. Step 5: Learn to braid or brush long hair. Step 6: Learn to talk about your feelings. Most guys should learn how to do this anyways... You're set....be ready for vagina city! |
