Living and dying in the DFW.
1.) What do they like to do? Think about their hobbies and what they like.
2.) Now what can enhance that hobby or add value to it in some way.
Easy example: My wife has recently gotten into running. She likes to run now. So I looked up different 5K Marathons going on and BINGO! Wine run in March. It combines her new hobby (running), an old hobby (drinking wine) and its something we can do together.
-or-
What is a problem they have? What can remedy that problem or make the day to day easier?
Ex: Friend kept having issues with a dead phone because they kid was always using it. So we got them a case that is also a charger. boom. no more dead phone.
Spots bars are great if you want to keep up with a couple games and not one of them is yours. When I’m watching my team, I like to focus and not miss a single snap.
Home watching is the play. Cheaper drinks, cheaper food, better bathrooms, much more comfortable and no ubers or driving. You can also have people over with the added benefit that there will be a definite time for them to leave.
You know what? I’ll stand on this hill with you. I think I’ll qualify it though and say most* seafood is trash. Lobster is fine, not my first choice. Shrimp is good cooked certain ways. Salmon is fine as well as a few other types of fish.
Oysters are a garbage food. Detestable in every way and offensive to all 5 senses.
“Like sure, you could call me, but why? Are you really so selfish that you’re going to demand my undivided attention, ”
This is 100% why I do not take calls at my work phone. It rudely demands my attention and takes away from the task I was attempting to accomplish. It takes time, but if you stick to the “I don’t pick up my phone” plan, you’ll socially condition people to not call you and email/text you instead.
Yeah its the caffeine. If you develop a caffeine habit, you get a headache/super cranky when you don’t have it. So to feel right, you need that fist cold fizzy sip to get your head straight in you’re good to go. I’ve also known people with addictive personalities replace cigs with Diet coke.
Can we throw an honorable mention to the Munchies Twitter account? They tweeted out a picture of some very terrible looking bbq (calling it bbq is generous) and titled it “Why is Brooklyn Barbecue taking over the World?” They subsequently got torched by the entire internet in rare moment of unity among twitter.
I listened to the original Jurassic Park on audio while doing stairs at the gym. I enjoyed that much more than getting sweat all over a book. If they ever wind up remaking the original Jurassic Park, I hope its just like the book. It was much better.
Sounds like Chicago just has shitty arcade bars. Dallas has one called Cidercade (at least thats what we call it). Its the Bishop Arts District Cider Brewery with a massive arcade filled all kinds of stuff. Easily killed 2 hours there with my buddies the other weekend. $10 gets you unlimited play. I like having things to do while I drink. Much more fun.
Brunch with the girls is actually a panel interview. That’s your time to shine so come correct and be ready to spit some wit and give humorous commentary on whatever is talked about.
As a person who enjoys a NOLA visit and have been several times, I can sign off on the list provided here. “Go to Lafitte’s Blacksmith Shop” is absolute must and take 5 min to learn about why its so cool. Cafe Du Monde is a famous spot and if have the time, I’d go. Best beignets you can get and really good coffee too. Bring cash.
Also, the Two nights rule is a life saver. Get in at like noon on a Friday. Leave Sunday. No one needs 3 nights in NOLA. If you’d like to leave Bourbon street, go to Frenchman Street. Its more of what the locals do.
Also, don’t travel with the person with reckless airport habits. For example, I have a strict 2 hour arrival prior to flight rule. Excessive? Maybe. Have I ever missed a flight? No. If you’re early then grab a drink and chill.
Yeah, fuck that. Our Generation grew up with the best video games and now we make the money to buy even better games. I got a Nintendo Switch and its completely changed flying/air travel. Its perfect.

Heres the formula, works for anyone.

If there is 11 dudes total I’ll bet you’ll spend more time trying to get people out of the goddamn door to go eat/ go out than anything else.
Strip clubs are overrated. If its your first bachelor party, step inside one, see the tiddies, see yourself out and spend your money elsewhere.

Summer is trash and we were only conditioned to like it because there wasn’t any school to go to.
Once you’re a real adult this is the proper power ranking:
1.) Fall
2.) Spring
3.) Winter
4.) Summer.

Yes, hi, this is the internet, have you two met?

Not really about the Groom either.

Its one of the rare weekends where nothing is planned and we plan to do nothing. They don’t happen a lot. I enjoy them when they do.
