Weekend Wrap-up

I took the weekend off from Cleveland this weekend and spent a girls’ night out in Columbus. It was 60 degrees overnight down there and the bars were packed.  Columbus is currently going through a revitalization. Their new convention center is a pretty sweet building. The Arena district is a great place to walk from bar-to-bar. Frog Bear & Wild Boar is a great warm-weather bar with its outdoor...

Weekend Wrap-Up

Of COURSE my weekend started on Thursday with a short visit to D’Vine (not packed), then over to Mercury (decent), then of course, continuing on to Liquid. The night ended up being interesting… We met some new friends on the street (and no, they weren’t bums). Friday was Girls’ Night Out. We had to celebrate with some trouble at Mercury for pre-drinks, then out to Tramp for dancing. We...

Weekend Wrap-Up

This weekend, my beau “Zoolander” and I took a short get-away to Peek’n Peak for the end of ski season. Zoolander took me to his workplace holiday party recently, and I won the trip, ultimately from a double-down hand at Blackjack. The prizes were really ticket raffles, being that you won tickets instead of money, but this was my winner. Did I mention how I always win the raffle prizes?...

A WTF Moment during a date

Taking a lovely Sunday afternoon stroll through Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Shaker Square today, checking out some new reads, when I come across THIS (book by a stripper). Oh, I’m sorry NORA… Jesus! Even her REAL name sounds like a stage name. This girl was just destined to do naughty things. If SHE can get a book published, I have more confidence I shouldn’t have a problem. Zoolander and I...

Weekend Wrap-Up

I found some new gems this past weekend for hangout purposes. I also learned how to parallel-park my SUV (TWICE!), and realized that road lines don’t mean anything! Friday night was a trip out to Rocky River Brewing Company. Although I was not too happy with the ambiance of the place, I have to go back and get those mini cheeseburgers. Also, I was disappointed at the two different beers that I tried....

Cleveland Rocks

Busy Busy Busy! You have to love the holidays. I’ve been keeping active around town with my sister home from Phoenix. I did a quick night out on W. 6th Friday night with trips to my new fave hangout: Dive Bar, and the old tried-and-true and cover band to boot, Blind Pig. Tramp still has some party legs as well. I hope the club traffic keeps up throughout the winter. Saturday night was an excursion...

An Exit to Remember

Why is it while you are out for the night, looking good, feeling the vibe, trying to check out if you-know-who is checking out your you-know-what… and ALL NIGHT passes with no takers?  Then when you finally grab your coat with an “I’m outta here!” the cutie near the exit decides to start up a conversation with you. Where the FUCK has this person been all night? Is it that guys just...

Get In Line!

Every man at Dave & Buster’s thought the “Get In Line” T-shirt I was wore last night was just hilarious. Every pervert had to point out to me: “get in line for what?” Seriously. A sweet gesture from some gentleman across the bar, Paul made me a nice flower out of a napkin that  smelled like beer. Aaaawwww, right? I was the skeeball champ at Dave & Buster’s! I...
