Cooleyfan1993 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Most fun I’ve had, probably these past couple of months in general. Moved back home after a summer of being in CT for an internship. Been hanging with friends, watching more skins games than I was able to do while i was at college (both schools i went to were in giants/jets/patriots territory). Traveled a couple times (Iowa with the family for grandpas 90th, and Nashville the weekend after to visit my brother). Went to a Halloween party. Great times.

TheMalcolmConnection Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I know it's stupid, but Topgolf. As someone who played nine holes of golf in my entire life, this was an absolute blast. Wife was a natural (she had never played in her life). It took me a full round to get my swing, but damn that crazy fun. It was my birthday, so the mimosas were flowing right when they open, then we hit up a bunch of nearby breweries. You guys up in Nova are spoiled with some DAMN good ones.

Speaking of microbreweries, I believe it's pretty close to Hardywood right? Yup. Hardywood is just east of the Redskins training camp site (still the best/most fun of the breweries to go to around here, depending on what events they have going on, IMO), and there are a bunch of breweries/cideries just east of the TC site in Scott's Addition. This is just a little more west (but not that far at all) on the Richmond/Henrico line. Henrico has been talking about trying to turn the nearby industrial/business park area into Scott's Addition 2.0, because you just can't quench our insatiable thirst for more breweries down here. There's also a Vail (one of the Scott's Addition breweries) opening up a few blocks from where I live, just south of the river. I'm in trouble. I might end up needing to take on a second job, perhaps at a brewery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to be able to be there on the Gingerbread Stout release day and not have to wait in line. Speaking of which, if you can get your hands on "Christmas Pancakes" I personally thought it was better than their Gingerbread Stout this year. SO tasty.

Friend of ours is the sales director at my local Topgolf. I've never swung a club but after the first 20 swings I was hitting it decently. It was a ton of fun.

NoCalMike Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 My mom bought a beach house in Santa Cruz (eventually to retire to in a handful of years) and she has been gracious enough to let my wife & I use it whenever. Taking the kids there and witnessing their first experience on the boardwalk and going on the rides they are old enough for......was a blast. Santa Cruz is a fun city, being able to access it at zero cost for boarding rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how long you've been posting here, but there was a time. It was a great time. It was a time where the Tailgate wasn't dominated by politics and social justice issues. It was a rollicking, hilarious, fun time. It was a group of people coming together from different backgrounds uniting over booze, boobs, music, movies, jokes, and finding common ground instead of the divisive echo chamber that it's become. We've lost a lot of good people along the way. But fear not. We can get it back. We can get it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max21 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Went on my first cruise 2 weeks ago, too many margaritas to remember much. Went to Mexico and Atlantis, I was suspect as I didn’t think a cruise would be much fun/worth the money. I was wrong, easy fun vacation with my girl and another couple that are good friends of ours.

purbeast Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Most "kid" fun I've had is playing Astro Bot on PSVR. It's one of the most fun video games experiences I've ever had. It gave me that feeling I got when I played Mario 64 on N64 for the first time and saw a 3D rendition of Mario. It just blew me away. Well Astro Bot gives that same exact feeling but instead it does for platformers in VR what Mario 64 did for them in 3D. Most "adult" fun I've had recently was my SCUBA OW certification class/pool work last weekend. It was a long weekend that was from 9am - 10pm both Saturday and Sunday, but I learned a ton and I found all of the science/chemistry and what not behind SCUBA extremely interesting and I had no clue about all of it. The pool work was fun too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was up there was 2014 when I went to see the game Colt McCoy replaced Kirk in a game against the Titans. I didn't get to check out the harbor much.

That looks like the worlds most poorly designed water slide. pitch meeting: we are thinking of a 4-story water slide built so you come out of an aztec temple. But instead of gliding smoothly into water you glide into concrete. And Incase you keep going there will be a metal barrier. Hard Stop. But the end will be surrounded by water so you get the impression that you landed in water. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsluggo Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I was Dr Frank N Furter at a little post-halloween gala to support a library and museum in Lexington Kentucky. Open bar of Four-Roses, 4 inch high foot-torture devices, fishnet stockings, and unexpected appreciation from 20-something onlookers.... This geezer had a sloppy, bleary, happy smile.

Dan T. Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 More on Meow Wolf, which I just learned. I knew it was built in an old bowling alley in Santa Fe. If nothing else, the sign out front gives that away: But what I didn't know is that the abandoned bowling alley was purchased for the artists who created Meow Wolf by none other than George R.R. Martin. Learned that through this movie trailer. Also, plans are underway for versions to open in Denver, Las Vegas, and Austin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
