jujube,
Man, I hate when I miss shit like that. I hope it's still going on when I get back to the States. It's not too often you see really hot chicks hanging till the end at an after hours party (from what I have seen). There are hotties at them but they usually don't hang the whole time.
Beanboo,
When I am in Boston (I have been away for about a year, but am going back soon), I used to work out at the Gold's on Landsdown. Not a bad gym, not the best though. There are a few big dudes there but there are some real idiots as well.
