Well, it's Friday night. Are YOU going out???

[miaedu]

icky weather. tired from work. resting up tonight.

 

[NotHardUp1]

I went out last night to a dinner at an art gallery. It was a part of a Meetup.com group. The menu was very fine, if the food wasn't, and there was a brief program about flamenco followed by live classic guitar playing as well as a brief presentation about the making of that guitar.

The conversation at my table was really excellent, and I think I've made a couple of new friends. The disappointing and niggardly food was well worth enduring to find such great people at my table.

This was the event and menu:

January 22 dinner SOLD OUT. ADDED 1/24 (Sun), 5-7 pm.

Join us for a festive evening as we celebrate the traditional foods of Spain: Paella & Tapas. Enjoy a presentation about the art of Spain's flamenco dance. Dinner will be accompanied by traditional Spanish music.

I couple of my fag hags and I went to a newly opened bar last night. And the best part is that I fulfilled my fantasy of servicing someone at a gloryhole.

 

[miaedu]

went out with friends for dinner. staying tonight. '"cold" here. currently 55F.

 

[kevbo]

Why yes. Yes I am.

 

[GreyUnderscore]

No but I did meet up with a pal and had lunch.

 

[luckynumbah7]

Not going anywhere. Staying in and decorating a hollow book. So, thoughts; anyone got a title + author that would make no one whatsoever interested in the book? (or, contrarywise, be a great pun, ect ect). I'm curious to see what people come up with.

 

[Rickrock]

No, I am not going out tonight, but I am going to see the modern dance group Dorrancedance tomorrow night. Sunday I have tickets to two movies at the Cleveland International Film Festival.

 

[LilBit]

I was in a play, and we had a cast party afterwards.

 

[rareboy]

So did you end up in the arms of the leading man?

Or praying to the white porcelain God?

 

[Cormac135]

Just back from a house party, i think i may be over parties, or maybe just my friends.

 

[rareboy]

omg....you've become an eldergay.

 

[Pianist]

....... no.

 

[LilBit]

So did you end up in the arms of the leading man?

Or praying to the white porcelain God?

Haha! Neither. The leading man is a twit, and I only had two glasses of wine.

 

[miaedu]

staying in to rest for a packed weekend schedule.

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

No, I'm working in Amsterdam tomorrow night.

 

[rareboy]

No plans...staying in.

 

[luckynumbah7]

Nope, but someone's coming in. Besides, there's a bunch of housework that still needs doing.

 

[Natello4]

Not tonight, because I feel tired. Maybe tomorrow my body will hit some dancefloor.

 

[Natello4]

It's a sin to stay at home when dressed like that.

No plans...staying in.
