If you didn't you should definitely check it out next year!!

no, i already know im the fucking man

12/5/2007 10:35:37 AM

having it at the long branch doesnt sound very awesome

12/5/2007 10:43:59 AM

I briefly considered it


then realized the last time I went to the Longbranch I was almost shot by 4 of Raleighs finest

12/5/2007 10:45:42 AM

^^sparky, I swear, you like the cheesiest events. My roommate was there because the salon he works at won best overall. He said it was the gayest thing ever. A bunch of dudes dressed in the same outfit (screen printed shirt, blazer, and the dark jeans with the fade down the middle), thinking they're hot shit, and a bunch of girls dressed like hookers. He said he left the second his group accepted their award and would never go again.

He did say that the girls were hot, though. Oh, and I guess the new thing is for guys to wear the justin timberlake fedora. so gay

12/5/2007 10:46:27 AM

that reminded me of watching Alpha Dog last night

12/5/2007 10:48:58 AM

I think I'd kill myself if my forte in life was "being social".

I mean, I suppose if I was super loaded it would be cool. But I don't see why anyone would make an expertise out of being in the Raleigh bar scene.

12/5/2007 11:07:16 AM

yeah...i guess if you aren't into the service industry scene then you would probably be bored. for me it was more of a business meeting. a lot of our clients were there and we were an official sponsor for the event. we had the best seats in the house and got to party like rockstars so all in all a good night.


^^^^Tyler...what kind of events do you like?

Did Natalie win for best cover model?

12/5/2007 11:36:59 AM

dude, I don't like anything

In all honesty though, I just don't like cheesy shit. I hate the whole Raleigh trying to be NYC scene. I'll go to a dive bar any day of the week before I go hang out with a bunch of dudes dressed like they literally stole a page from the back of maxim magazine.

oh, and I'm not trying to troll sparkster. It's all in good fun

12/5/2007 11:44:02 AM

I agree though

I go to bars to drink

12/5/2007 11:44:32 AM

^^^ nope Grace did

^^ & ^ oh so ya'll are the haters

i guess there are two schools of thought here. there are those, like you guys, that like to just go to a chill bar in your jeans, t-shirt and state hat where you can shoot some pool and shoot the shit. i like to do that too. but there are a bunch of people that on occasion like to get dressed up and go out on the town. of course Raleigh isn't NYC or LA, but damn, you got to work with what you got. thats why we try to throw events in Raleigh that are out of the norm. something different and fun that you aren't going to find at every other bar and club downtown. you have to admit, there is no other event all year in Raleigh like the Social Awards. of course you can put it down and try and degrade it by calling it cheesy, if that makes you feel better about yourself then by all means go for it.

12/5/2007 12:04:22 PM

negro please


I wear more than just a t-shirt and jeans


I just don't dress like some folks I see out at the "clubs"

nor will I ever grow a chin strap

12/5/2007 12:07:20 PM

yeah...chin straps and popped collars are for the gays

12/5/2007 12:08:49 PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^bitch i rock my aluminum shoelaces to your mothers villa

12/5/2007 12:09:05 PM

I wish I drank enough to be featured in a 2"X3" local magazine.

12/5/2007 12:11:04 PM

and, by the same token, I guess there are two schools of thought on what is cheesy and what's not.

oh, and I almost forgot. My roommate said half the guys at the event had faux hawks. That's pretty cool

12/5/2007 12:12:19 PM

Look at my button down striped shirt! Fucking look at it! This shirt means one thing! I’m coming home with some pussy tonight! That’s right! It’s been a long week at the office and it’s time to blow off a little steam! I am a Junior Vice President! I have business cards that say “Junior Vice President” on them! They’re glossy and magnificent! Here! Have one! Take it!

My boys are coming out with me tonight! They all have striped shirts too!

I figure we’ll kick off the night with some Golden Tee! I am going to smack the shit out of that little white ball! It’s going to be so fucking loud! I’ll bet I can drive that pretend golf ball 600 fucking yards tonight! I’m that fucking pumped!

I can almost taste those Jager Bombs right now! I fucking love Red Bull! I put it on my God damned cereal! I’m crushing one right now!

I’m thinking about buying a boat this year!

I’m gonna fight someone tonight! I pray to God someone makes eye contact with me! I will beat his ass! And God help him if he gets any blood on my striped shirt! If he does, I’ll scrub it out with his dick and some bleach! I mean it!

I’m gonna grind on girls asses tonight! You heard me! When I see a group of girls dancing in a circle, I will select the most attractive one and dry hump her until it hurts! I will rub my cock against her so that she can feel my throbbing hard on!

I will valet tonight!

I will treat the valet with contempt and make sure that he knows that I am superior to him in life! I will tell him to “Take it easy on the brakes, Champ”!

I will talk to people I don’t know about my job tonight! They will all know that I am an important man! I will call female bartenders “Babe” and male bartenders “Chief”!

When I do not hook up with a girl at that club, I will say that the place is “full of skanks”! We will wait in a long line to go to another bar only to strike out again!

I will give up and decide to order a gyro off of a street vendor! I will make fun of him to my friends for being foreign! I will look ridiculous purchasing my gyro because people will be able to tell by my striped shirt and tinted sunglasses that I struck out and am settling for a gyro!

I will make one last attempt to hook up by trying to coax two big girls who are also ordering gyros to coming back to my place for “after hours”! When they say no I will make fun of them for being fat! I will leave!

When I get home I will go to the bathroom and hold the straight razor to my wrist again! I will gently drag the razor laterally against my vein, making sure not to actually cut myself!

I will then go to my room and pass out! I will need some shut eye so that I’ll be ready to fucking party again tomorrow!

12/5/2007 12:13:08 PM

nice

and sparky, I dress plenty nice. I just don't dress "trendy"

I want to be able to look at a photo 20 years from now and not be embarassed with how 2008 I look.

haha after reading this thread i just couldn't stop thinking about My New Haircut.

12/5/2007 12:20:25 PM

i know the kind of people you all are talking about...and yes for the most part they do suck. faux hawks are dumb...attitudes are dumb...but not everybody in the nightlife is like that. honestly its not my thing at all...this is just a stepping stone to bigger and better things and unfortunately my business depends on the clubbers and bar hoppers at this point in time.

12/5/2007 12:26:08 PM

i think everyone should have fun however they want, however

my problem with this specific raleigh scene over the past couple years is its so self congratulatory...

i come back on occassion and just end up looking down my nose at most of it

12/5/2007 12:26:30 PM

DAMN...i was just wondering if anyone else on TWW was at the show and had as much fun i we all did. then i got jumped by my choice in entertainment

12/5/2007 12:34:17 PM

my gf and Natalie (from beauty and the geek) went together. I heard it was lame from both of them.

yea just like there wasnt any event like the Bud Light Maxim event

it was lame, people trying too hard to be what everyone else is...thinking they are better too...when in truth 20 years from now, their world will be completely miserable.


o well, good times good times
