I got a call from Alex on Wednesday asking if I was available for a girl's night on Friday. Seems she needs a break from her boyfriend, and was desperate for some time with the ladies. So Alex and Ness came over for pizza and wine on Friday and we headed out to a bar later (can't say which bar - cause it's far too embarassing).

We spent most of the night avoiding creepy men on the dance floor, and the rest of the night on the patio so Alex could smoke (booooo - Ness and I gave her a proper talking to and we're making it our mission to stop her from continuing with the foul habit).

After about an hour, three fairly decent looking young men approached us and offerred to buy us drinks (a rarity in Toronto - they tend to just grope and slobber). So we started chatting and determined that they were from Boston. Once we heard that we were intrigued - we went to Boston last year to visit our friend Andrea, and we had an absolute blast. We tore that town apart. As soon as the guys heard our enthusiasm for their fair city, they got a bit weird. We were asking them about which bars they go to (Boston is a very small town), and about what they like to do there, etc...

After a few moments of awkwardness, it came out that they weren't from Boston at all. They were from Toronto and this was their "story" that they use to try and pick up girls. They were actually two lawyers and an accountant (another likely tale). Just a thought - if you're going to have a story that you play when you go out at night. At least do a bit of research first and have a background tale.
