[Out vile jelly!]
Hello folks. With all the cumulative experience and sagacity out there I
hope I can get some advice.
I have been asked to the best man for a good friend who is getting married
in April next year. So I will be throwing a stag for him. However, I have
never done this before and don't really know where to start. For instance
how do I go about finding a hall/bar/whatever to hold it in?
what is the standard way of arranging for a bar? Do I purchase
liquor ahead of time, have them serve it, and give the profits
to the groom (boy what a name, sounds like something that lives
under a bridge and eats virgins - oops! freudian slip).
Also does anybody have any alternative suggestions to the standard
porno flick show? I find that these get pretty boring as the night
wears on and kind of have this naive feeling that I could throw a
FUN party.
Any advice at all on things to arrange and stuff to beware of would be most
appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

At the one that I threw a few weeks ago, this wasn't a problem; when they begin to get boring (or evidence of a plot on the film is seen), shift into scan-forward-at-3-times-normal speed on the VCR.

Much more entertaining! There are certain scenes that are, uh, very unusual and somewhat intriguing when seen in reverse... (Don't look at me, the idea came from my friend's ex-husband!) -- Now I've lost my train of thought. I'll have to catch the bus of thought. Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr

Most cities have some sort of underground newspaper where ideas might be obtained. For example, the singing strip-o-gram...
