Friday Nights

Sign in to disble this ad
Just out of curiosity, what do you guys get up to for fun of a Friday?

Almost every Friday for me involves getting the eff away from school as quickly as possible, heading into Zürich, picking up a 6-pack of lager and heading to our band room with a few friends. We play music, have a few drinks, play frisbee, sing along to Queen and play Tekken. Things wind up 11ish and I'm back home midnightish. Not too on-the-edge, but hey, it's enjoyable!

If I'm not gigging or jamming with friends, I can be found at home, playing the PS3, or at friend's houses either watching movies or playing gaming with them.

Generally...working. Then coming home and playing video games.

I have such a spectacular life.

Sounds a lot like what I used to do back in the 70s, but without the "smokables"! Nowadays Friday nights means staying at home, watch a little TV, surf a bit of web, drink tea, and generally live the life of a boring geezer!

Enjoy your youth, you might be like me someday!

I play gigs on Friday nights. I didn't realize there were other options.

My wife and I usually go for a walk around the lake and then get some dinner. Maybe a little shopping after that.

Fridays used to be date night, which usually meant going to our local for drinks and dinner and then heading home for youtube wars (in which each of us tries to out do the other with cheesy videos from the 70s and 80s). It also often meant a gig night for my bf when he was with a cover band, which meant I got to go-go dance all evening. These days, date night only happens when a) my young step-daughter visits her mum for the weekend, b) neither of us has band practice, and c) the bf isn't playing a sub gig. Eventually, Fridays will mean gig nights for our band - or so we hope!
