It's Friday :unsmith:

who has weekend plans they would like to share

I am thinking about going to see that dumb movie where the guy has multiple personalities and it's an M. Night movie so the twist is probably that every character is a Frankenstein monster

I was gonna take the hot intern I've been talking to to that, but then they sent me to loving Columbus, Indiana until Feb 2nd. So I'll be working instead.

Crescent Ave has a lot of options to choose from depending on what kind of food you want to go with your booze.

Go to either pink pony for the best strippers in town, clairmot lounge to say you saw Goldie, or like strokers or something.

Do not go to cheetah

Seconded. Clairmont is just.... An experience, man. Pretty low key too and a lot of famous people show up there

I can confirm that gentrifying an area is indeed a good financial decision. Also I didn't have 20 percent so I paid mortgage insurance for like a year until I put a big chunk down on the premium to get rid of it. It's not that bad. Mine was something like 60 bucks a month so after writing it off its really like 45.

I can sleep almost any time, anywhere. It's cool, but it makes waking up not the easiest thing. Getting older is making that less of a problem though.

For some reason I pass out as soon as I get on an airplane. I'm only awake for takeoff about half the time.

Yeah I actually signed on with the gym at work. It's 10/mo so the price is impossible to beat, and since I live 30 miles away it forces me to pack my gym clothes every day which forces me to go to the gym every weekday. Weekends I'm on my own but I'd be lying to myself if I said I'd work out more at a gym by my house.

I like it, it's not insane like Vegas would've been. Weather's not too bad, there's great skiing if you like it, and surprisingly good not-sushi food in midtown. Outdoors stuff out the rear end at Tahoe of course, and the scenery's good from everywhere in town. Rent is a little higher than you'd think because Reno is going through a mini boom.

I'm also a pretty chill person who doesn't need much to be happy, so adjust your expectations accordingly. I don't know how the nightlife is but one of the casinos has a nightclub called "x lex" and I always call it the shittiest club in town because I'm a child

I love skiing and lakestuff so it'd be pretty cool to live on the West/South side of town. How bad does traffic get there at rush hour? I'm used to Atlanta which is probably one of the worst cities in the country for it...

Lol if you're in any kind of committed relationship, just lol

I just got out of a 6 year relationship and am single for basically the first time in my life. About to turn 29 and all of my close friends either just got married, are getting married within the next year, or are proposing in the near future. Feel like I hosed up my timeline, since I'm having fun being single but should probably actually be looking for something serious in the next couple years so I'm not super old by the time I have kids... Also doesn't help that I plan to go into consulting for a couple years after graduating so trying to start a serious relationship when I'm gone M-Th every week is probably not ideal?

One of my favorite bars in atlanta is brewhouse in L5. I got in a fight there once and since I was a regular one of the waiters jumped in to help me.

It's officially a Chelsea bar and one time they had to close for an hour because two or three people bled everywhere during a premier match brawl. But they were both Chelsea fans.

The night the panthers lost they comped my 140 dollar tab.

If a cockroach crawls on you, you get a free shot!

That place is the official bar of my friend's rugby club so I'm there most Saturdays summer through fall getting free pizza and beer and it owns.

I have a question. Have any of you dated chicks who aren't real into food? How the hell do u do it? Not cause there fat but because they love food and trying new food and cooking. I notice more and more as I get older how much of a turn off it is when they don't really care about food beyond needing to eat to survive.

I'm seeing this vegan chick now and it's a whole nother level of difficulty. Gotta find somewhere she can eat, or end up making things at my place.

On tacochat: Fiz, have you been to Holy Taco? I really recommend their bacon taco (thick cut pig belly), and fish taco (switches the type of white fish but it's always good). Then whatever you want for a third. Can't really go wrong there. Also they do a great job of the street corn on the cob thing
