**A man who won't go hiking with me is probably not my man.

Marry me :P

Actually you did remind me that I at least need a friend who will hike with me. I can't believe I had forgotten how much I love it. It sucks when you love so many things that you do so infrequently that you forget you even like them.

My perfect night would probably be something like the nights-in, maybe a walk or fishing or something, and save the $500! Get money and I'd rather do something quiet than something that does cost a lot of money.

Hot damn!  After all the marriage proposals I've offered on this forum, I finally got one myself!  I'ma give myself a high-five.  :hfive:

Pshaw, as the great philosopher Johnny Slick once said, if I didn't go out alone, I wouldn't go out at all.  Hit the trail, man.  I don't have any hiking friends.  Last spring I enrolled in a series of Saturday hikes offered by the local community college, so I went out for six weeks with a bunch of strangers.  I'm not sure I don't prefer solo hiking.  But I'm also pretty sure I'd like to go hiking with a nice man.  Anders, where's my money??

That's roller skating for me.  I should get my big ol' butt out to the rink.

Hell yeah. Getting 500 bucks for sitting around, that's a pretty damn good night in my book! :D

I'm proud to be the first. Ain't no skeptical girls around here I know. I don't know though if I found someone who thought that a hike was a fun date I'd probably just call it right then and there. Sitting around too.

An even geekier alternative is LAN party. That's something where you would actually spend the money for networking and giant extension ethernet cables. But that probably doesn't count as a date, even if it was teams of two in whatever game :D

$40 bucks. Tonight.

$20 for food, $20 for booze.

Went to a food truck gathering at my favorite bar district. About 10 of my best friends and my fiancee. Great food, great beers, great company.

And I do it every other Tuesday night.

That's a perfect night out for me.

Ahmahgahd, dawg.  I do NOT like 'em under 30.  Good heavens.

Also, that sounds lovely, Neutral Milk.

Good luck with finding hiking friends in the skeptics.  ;)
After TAM in 2008 I was hiking Whitney and some other peaks with ZERO others after trying to find other out-doorsy minded folk.

I generally prefer nights in or nights in the woods... but if we're going night out and I get $500 to blow, I'm spending it in Miami. 

3:30 - Rifle range - $60 for ammo and range fees
5:30 - My house - Shower and change. Possibly sexy times.
7:00 - Sunset drinks at The Wet Lab - $30 (awesomely obscure oceanside bar)
(click to show/hide)
8:15 - Dinner at Gigi - $55
(click to show/hide)
10:00 - Coffee at Panther, short walk in the burgeoning art district - $13
(click to show/hide)
11:15 - Fancy cocktails at the Delano Hotel's bar, in one of private poolside cabanas - $200
(click to show/hide)
12:30 - Beers at Zeke's, and a walk down Lincoln Road. Awesome people watching there. - $35
1:30 - Buy a bottle of wine somewhere and walk down to the beach with it - $35
2:30 - Use leftover cash for a cab home, possibly some tacos on the ride back if there's enough there.

More seriously, are you allergic to cats? Because that's a deal-breaker, methinks.

Couldn't find the info after some quick googling. List of artist names and more photos here, though.

Ta, I was looking for a site like that. Appears to be Shepard Fairey raising the bar to crazy heights..you can pick his Obey and iconic face buried in there.
