Go out for beers. Or, you could go out for cocktails. Maybe a wine bar if you’re into that sort of thing. Or have some buddies over and do the Century Club (a shot of beer every minute for 100 minutes) while holding a Mario Kart tournament.
I can’t think of any non-alcohol related activities.
Concert (at a smaller place where you can chill, drink and talk) or sporting event. Local boxing match is a pretty good time with the homies, but it’s tough not to gamble.
My friends and I would just go to the Flying Saucer (www.beerknurd.com) and try as many beers as we could. Just hang out, smoke cigarettes, and talk about whatever came to mind.
It looks like only my fellow Texans, Palantir, and Sweep get to take advantage of the glorious Flying Saucer.
boxing event is an awesome idea so is a comedy club.
casino is a norm for our outtings so looking to do something else beisdes grind at a poker table without even interacting.
kr - never been to a russian/turkish bath house, although i know its pretty normal in the east, i always think those places are for gays (not that there’s anything wrong w that)
yah man, all about poker nights… This crew of mine developed from a regular cash game in college and two of the guys now are pros - or so they say. Having said that, sitting around playing 1/2 is no longer fun bc the $ means shit so we end up pushing the limits to at least 5/10 and from there one of guys always ends up in a bad mood.
Actually, if you have a range nearby; go shoot sporting clays or something if you’re into that sort of things. But, go light on the booze for activities like this; nothing to mess around with if you’re looking to hammer hard.
Whatsyourgov & krnyc: the only reason I know what krnyc is talking about is because I have seen Fedor (mma god) doing the thing where he is at a Russian bath house getting beaten with branches…and I my college roommate for two years was from Ukraine.
