Singles Mingles

About a week ago manthan was listening to WMMR. i don't really care for the station. i use to listen to Preston and Steve when Y100 was still around but wasn't a big enough fan to follow them to 93.3. Anyway, manthan was listening to the station and when they had a calling contest to get on a list for their singles mingles night at Reed's.

i'm not sure what manthan was thinking but he was one of the first ten callers and got on the list. They asked him to bring a friend. Since i'm such a great friend (or because out all his friends i'm the closest to the bar) he asked me to tag along. The thing went down from 6-9pm and the first bud light is free. Also there is a free buffet, drink specials, and contests with prizes to be won.

i wasn't too sure if a free bud light was worth it. manthan ended up being a little late and we didn't get to the bar until 6:30. Showed our IDs, got lame bracelets, name tags, and a ticket for our free beer. Turned out they weren't handing out bud lights, instead it was Jimmy Buffet's beer...Land Shark. i believe this was my second time having it. Its pretty good, way better than bud light. So for the rest of the night we kept drinking the Land Shark.

After we got the first beer we hit up the buffet. The buffet was pretty lame, all they had were roast beef sandwiches, meatballs, potatoes, mini tacos, spring rolls, and tomato pie. i was actually excited to eat the tomato pie, reminds me of the food we would always have after footballs games in high school.

We soon made our way towards the stage where Preston and Steve would be doing some contests. While walking over there...i have never seen so many freaks in my life. This one guy was wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses like he was casting for the Matrix or something...and his friend was a red head with a pony tail down to his tail bone. There were a lot of guys with pony tails, i kind of felt left out...i think i'll start growing one.

This one guy, name tag said larry, was wearing a blazer, jeans and running shoes...that just spells out weirdo. Who wears running shoes with a blazer?? Somehow he managed to talk to these two women forever, they must have been pretty desperate. So many weirdos, i wish i had a couple drinks in me at the time then i would have taken pictures of them... i'm pretty sure i was the youngest person at the bar. Out of 300 people there manthan said he could count all the attractive women on one hand.

Time for the contests. i didn't catch the first contest. It had something to do with guys standing on the stage paired with women on their knees infront of them with an orange behind their back...not quite sure what that was all about. The second contest was just with women, and whoever could take their bra off with their shirt still on won...the winner literally took 2 seconds, she should have her own show in Vegas...i didn't think that was possible. Of course Preston being a perv had to point out that it must of been cold in the bar. Then next contest was pretty ridiculous. The got some new people on the stage, paired them up, and asked them to pop four balloons with sex positions. i believe they were 69, missionary, cowgirl, and doggy. Luckily i didn't have to witness that either because it was all done on the floor and the people in front of me blocked my view.
The winners where this lumberjack looking chick and a black guy with a Phillies hat. They were fast, probably one of the shortest contests ever, well besides the bra one. The prizes were an iPod Shuffle and a diamond necklace...but when manthan and i asked the girl that won about her necklace, she said they were just earrings...bummer.

After that ridiculousness there was another break for people to mingle some more. Manthan left me again to take a phone call which i'm sure was important, not. During that time i just people watched some more. Pretty much entertaining all the time.

Got another beer and visited the bathroom, when i got back it was just about time for the last contest. i had no idea what this contest was going to be and i had no intention of volunteering to be in it. The got some characters up on stage, Preston asked the interns to pick people. The one intern said,"i pick the old guy, the skinny guy, and you." Then a chick intern picked three girls. The one girl looked like a librarian, the second girl looked like she belonged in a sorority, and the third girl...i'm just going to say deuce.
Preston then told everyone the name of the contest, The Best Make-Out Couple. Then Preston said that the manager of Reed's asked to keep nudity minimal, but Preston was like,"but i don't work for Reed's so ...i say anything goes"

The grand prize for this contest was a queen size bed for each of the winners...What!? Who needs a queen size bed? i sure don't...though it would be nice to have an extra bed, put it next to the California king and make a humongous bed and make fun of all the other beds in the house or something like that.

The first people up were the librarian and old guy, that was just gross. Then the bigger girl of the three and the skinny guy were up...all i have to say about that is dinner plates and dinner rolls and i almost lost my dinner. The third couple, the girl was actually respectable and wouldn't show anything (good for her) but that didn't keep the guy from dropping his pants and mooning the rest of the bar. he obviously didn't want a queen size bed.

Of course 'dinner plates' and the 'skinny guy' won. Preston and Steve then cleared the stage so they could make room for the band that was playing, and thats when manthan and i decided to peace. Pretty much scarred for life, and won't be going to another singles mingles night for a long time.
