    Drop her off downtown and not at the dam. It is crazy trying to get anywhere close to that.

    Why in the world are you eating Mickey D's when you have a plethora of awesome breakfast stands a block away at the farmer's market?

    Not really! Sit down and figure out how much you spend on the whole experience of going out. Including possible dinner before hand, bar tab, bar games to help pass the time and make you feel like you're actually competing at something, a 12 pack or case for when you got back to where you were going after the bar, late night snacks, and some times the possible taxi ride. I would go out anywhere from 3 to 5 nights a week every other week (I have a 5 year old so would never go out or drink the weeks i had her). I would spend an average of $75 every night I went out (slow nights would run me $50 and I have had $200 nights depending on who would show up as I normally buy a round or so for my buddies).
