we want to get the girls together and have some spritzers...
I was thinking this morning (courtesy of a prank phone call on the radio) about football, and desperate housewives…odd combination I know. Let me explain.
Why is it that there are sports bars for Monday night football, and watching hockey, football and sports in general for the guys (and girls I suppose) to go, but there are no places where women (I was going to say people, but I think there are very few men who watch desperate housewives) can go, have some cocktails and watch some high quality (haha) entertainment? Is it part of the whole male superiority thing, or is there actually no market for it?? Why is it that guys can say “I’m going out to watch the game with the guys”, but women get all kinds of (negative) attention for watching a tv show? It doesn’t really make sense to me. Maybe most of the women who would be the target don’t have time to go out because they have to put the kids to bed, make lunches, do dishes etc. But what is stopping them from telling their husbands “I’m going out with the girls to watch DH” (or any other show for that matter)?
And this doesn’t even need to have to do with a mainly female audience. Have you ever heard of some bar having a survivor night, or amazing race night? I haven’t. (but maybe I just live in a hole and don’t get out much…but that’s another story) and don’t tell me no one would be interested, because I highly doubt that. What about something like an O.C. marathon somewhere minors can go…teenagers would be all over that.
Seriously…it could be a whole new cash grab haha
(and if you are wondering where this random thought came from – on the morning show I listen to…no not sonic, I like my BEAR in the morning – the host called some sports bar, and said that “s”he (he raised his voice to sound like a woman) wanted to book the bar for a desperate housewives night on Sunday…and remember that Sunday is the semi-final between the eskies and the bc lions. He actually had the guy at the bar trying to explain why he couldn’t let the host book the bar on Sunday, and “have some spritzers” haha…it was gold!)

Sonic is way better in the morning.. just to let you know. They actually play music. But I guess if you like annoying prank calls... Also I think bars used to have survivor nights. But then it got old.
