I always thought this too, though I still can't figure out if Glenwood changed or if I changed.

My weekend: nothing Friday, then Saturday is HP8, Red Lobster, Wild Wing, then probably a hangover on Sunday.

^^ ahhhh very good point. i bet it's a little of both. i think the clientele has changed but i also think that when i want to go out, i prefer to go to more casual laid back places than when i was younger.

but hey, as long as Glenwood South is still marketed as a college/post-college place to hang out, that's great for me because I have a condo in that area and I find that renting it out to 23-24 year olds seems to work in my favor

I've always been like that. I think being off the market relationshipwise helps too. You deal with crowds and asshats at the meat markets of glenwood south, but you have more opportunities of meeting someone. Give and take there. But I've always preferred a place where I can sit down, get service before my beers been empty for 15 minutes, and hear myself talk.

7/15/2011 10:17:25 AM

Tonight....I'm going to Mollys...and then probably Z bar....

Tomorrow I'm cleaning...then headng to Raleigh to see HARRY POTTER!!!!

Sunday....beach time

7/15/2011 10:18:50 AM

^^ true except that i never went to Glenwood South in hopes of meeting someone. i mostly went to go out and get shitfaced with my friends.

7/15/2011 10:33:03 AM

whenever I went it was for the same reasons, but the friends I was meeting always said that they went down there to meet girls "cause you could never find a girl at a place like EV or Ruckus"

7/15/2011 10:35:09 AM

by friends i'm assuming you mean TKE-Teg

7/15/2011 10:41:05 AM

I'm going to the Beach for a week. I'm so useless at work today.

7/15/2011 10:41:50 AM

is Havana still open?>

7/15/2011 10:45:55 AM

yes it is. it changed ownership either late last year or the beginning of this year. i don't know if you frequent it a lot but the bartender Michael (tall, dark curly hair....hair used to be long and in a pony tail but he chopped it off a couple of years ago) owns it now and they're apparently doing very well. they started adding different wine and liquor tastings monthly that people can sign up to do.

7/15/2011 10:48:01 AM

^^yessir- as is lucky b's


^^^^haha well he was one, but I'd say over half my friends have/had that mentality

That guy is awesome.

7/15/2011 11:15:00 AM

Shortly: Harry Potter then the rooftop of Lynwood Grill until further notice

Tomorrow: Greensboro Beerfest? Still up in the air on that.

Sunday: Free lunch with my parents as they come through town on their way to the beach.


Not to shabby

7/15/2011 11:18:20 AM

Probably staying in tonight, though it depends on if some friends I don't hang out with too often are up to anything. Tomorrow playing some Par 3 at Knight's Play with a big crew and then hopping aboard the Party Bus tonight for my friend's wife's 30th birthday. Not sure what all of our destinations will be but it's sure to be a crazy night Sunday I'll be at the pool as long as the weather and my (potential) hangover agree.

Haha I know right. I never even went there when I was single but we're going with a big group of girls with ages ranging from 21-30 so I think it will work out okay. And it will be something new for me at least.

7/15/2011 12:14:26 PM

There are plenty of quality places on Glenwood South. And if you want to avoid the whole Metrosexual/Jersey Shore/Cougar crowd there are still plenty of choices to chose from.

7/15/2011 12:32:00 PM

going lake wylie

7/15/2011 12:45:54 PM

tonight: blah
tomorrow: work then watch the last harry potter so hopefully i can see the new one this week
sunday: making a big brunch probably

7/15/2011 12:47:30 PM

Tobacco Road and Hibernian are probably the only places I really enjoy on Glenwood at this point.

7/15/2011 12:47:59 PM

Tonight: Bonfire on the beach
Tomorrow: bootcamp maybe, but then hosting a dvd marathon at my house and grilling out with bunch of people
Sunday: Hosting a picnic in La Jolla Cove for the free summer concerts, then Church, laundry and packing for NC....


That being said i doubt anyone reads that bc i never really do.

7/15/2011 12:56:50 PM

i did!!!

i always read this thread. i like to live vicariously through other people (if they are doing fun things anyway. some of this shit is boooooring)

7/15/2011 12:58:19 PM

well then i read yours and you have to change tonight's plan, watch the movie tonight!

big fat fucking L.O.L.

you only say that because you still enjoy frequenting places like Lucky B's and 606 (or whatever the hell it's called now).

i wouldn't even put Hibernian on the list anymore - unless it's a week night. sometimes that place can get a little douchey.

what i would like to know about Glenwood is when in the hell did it become King Street a la Myrtle Beach? It's like impossible to get through that area on the weekends. too much traffic.

GoldenGirl that would make a lot of sense considering whenever people try to talk to you in threads you tend to ignore what they say.

Blame Ed Hardy.

7/15/2011 1:27:20 PM

wow someone is still bitter.

7/15/2011 1:29:23 PM

i was never bitter. if you recall from that thread where every female put you on blast, i was nice and just mentioned that regarding your questions about paint color, i had given you some advice.

you might want to take a step back and realize not everyone is always out to get you.

7/15/2011 1:30:24 PM

Slap fight!

7/15/2011 1:30:52 PM

it's not even a fight. GoldenGirl all too quickly assumed i was out to get her. i was merely making a statement which proves to be fact based on that home decorating thread she created, which originates off of some posts she made in the ladies talk shop thread.

drama?

in my It's Friday! what's everyone doing this weekend!? thread?

7/15/2011 2:15:18 PM

lol there ain't no drama. save that for the first of the month when everyone wants their moneys.

my weekend plans:

tonight: i'm trying to convince crazywill722 to pick himself off the bathroom floor and come have a drink with me. probably at the borough because we're cool like that.
saturday: work out, grocery store, clean the house
sunday: work out, laundry, watch tv and veg out.

[Edited on July 15, 2011 at 2:28 PM. Reason : my weekend plans]

7/15/2011 2:26:53 PM

I went to Lucky B's a lot when I was 21 because a lot of my friends always went there.

I really can't say that I ever once had fun there. I guess if paying $3.50 for a Bud Light and watching people sing along to Living on a Prayer and Build Me Up Buttercup every week is your idea of fun then go ahead. The only places on Glenwood I don't mind are Tobacco Road and Natty Greenes(when it's not super crowded). Napper Tandy's has to be the worst bar ever.

this weekend: working the door at Neptune's tonight, working tomorrow, working Sunday. fun.

[Edited on July 15, 2011 at 2:57 PM. Reason : ]

7/15/2011 2:55:56 PM

^is there a cover tonight?

Please say no

7/15/2011 2:59:28 PM

there is never a cover at Neptune's ($2 one time membership). I think Discovery is $3 for people over 21.

7/15/2011 3:00:48 PM

dinner at Vinnie's Steakhouse tonight with all of Allie's fam (her sister flew in from San Diego last night)

tomorrow I think I'm stuck babysitting Lily all day while Allie and her sisters go to the beach

sunday we are having a pig pickin and kegger pool party at Allies dads place

should be a pretty fun weekend

7/15/2011 3:01:58 PM

^ is that a legit reaction to hanging out with your daughter all day?

7/15/2011 3:03:16 PM

7/15/2011 3:09:15 PM

wasnt meant for watching Lily all day, it was meant that I, too, would like to go to the beach. I love hanging out with her

and they are doing great, Lily is growing up and getting way too smart. But she is a blast to hang out with

7/15/2011 3:11:20 PM
