This past Friday I had a chance to check out First Fridays at the MCA. First of all, I think the concept is a great idea. I mean mixing a little art, some drinks and food with a group of singles ready to mingle should definitely be the tools for a fun night right? Well, I have to say that I am not sure if I am overly impressed with the event itself.

 

I did manage to strike up a conversation with a man in a hideously ugly fur coat. This could be why he wore the fur coat, but he never actually gave me a reason even though I asked him numerous times. (Check back in a few days for a picture of this)

 

Then two other guys - one who fits pipes for a living and his friend who was completely on the prowl. Apparently he got the memo that there would be some single chicks there. According to the man that lays pipes his prowler friend was supposedly the more attractive one. Though I have to say the fact that he was in search of the "perfect" woman to talk to was pretty much a turn off. Clearly the man who lays pipes would have had a better chance of getting into my pants this his douche bag friend.

 

All in all, it was a pretty decent good time, though I am not sure if I would go again. I had a great time people watching even if there didn't seem to be a lot of minglers. It is definitely an event that is worth checking out. I say thumbs up to the MCA for the concept just a thumbs down for how it actually played out.
