I HI Bi:HKI.'ND BBACON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10,2000 I Know What Boys Like.... So, Friday night rolls around again, and you and your lady are starting to get tired of spending your nights in each other’s arms watching T.V. until you both wake up with drool <Mt yourselves. And fellas, I know this may not even sound like a bad idea, especially if its supple mented with a brew, but there comes a time when the quality must be put back into the phrase “quality tune." Them are plenty of ways to spend quality time with your main squeeze without traveling miles or spending lots of money, and no l am not talking about new sex games (that, I am saving for another issue). When you think about it, you wonder what die couples of the olden days did when there was no T.V. or radio. Those couples seem to have had better staying together rates than we do today, so maybe we should take notes from them. Perhaps they spent quality time by die fireplace taUcing. Most of us college students may not have fire {daces, but we do have mouths. Now I know the use of the mouth (when not having sex) is the ultimate fear of most guys, but a simple discussion doesn’t have to be so bad When you say the right things it can actually be stimulating. So get rid of the tube for a while and surprise each other with new ways of entertaining yourselves. If setting is the thing that turns you on, on nice days a simple night under the stars can be a means of spending quality time. The view of the moon and the stars on a dark night can drive a conversation deeper and even release stress. And if you are not a night person, an afternoon picnic can even be fun. Roll out a blanket on the great grass, bring a couple of sandwiches, chips, or even a radio and chill. With whatever floats your boat there tue always ways to put the quality in die “quality time.” Just be creative and realize that it doesn’t take much to conduct healthy activities with your significant other.

Happenings in Erie Composer Rob Reddy and his jazz sextet, at the Erie Art Museum Annex, 8:00 p.m. Pianist Salvatore Gebbia, at the Mary D’ Angelo Performing Arts Center, Mercyhurst College, 8:00 p.m. “God Bless America,” A musical salute to our Armed Forces, at the Warner Theatre, 8:00 p.m. Travel Expo 2000, at the Bel Aire Hotel, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Dr. John Leuenberger speaks about the “Battle of Gettysburg,” at the Sturgeon House, 7:30 p.m. My idea of what to do on a date? Well I guess what it comes down to is what’s happening that night - spontaneity is something that makes going out fun! Especially in Erie, when there really is nothing to do-you just have to make it up as you go. And since I am always asked what I would like to do (since I’m the lady and I should really have a clue), it looks like I better have some spontaneous ideas up my sleeve. Here’s a typical night that is always fun: dinner and a movie. Sound like the same old thing? No, not if you can make it fun! Instead of dinner at Friday’s, try one of the tiny diners that are sitting at almost every comer in Erie - have you ever heard of Syd’s Place? It’s a family owned business with some of the best food near the Peninsula - it’s casual and comfy. And that movie... try the dollar theater, or tent a movie that night instead of forking over six bucks to argue between the movies MI2 (obviously a guy movie) or Snow Falling on Cedars (read: CHICK FLICK). And if you’re really in the mood for something spontaneous between that dinner and the movie, try hitting the beach for a walk or, if it’s too cold, check out some of the local bands that are playing around town. You’d be surprised what kind of excellent talent cruises through Erie! And if you’re hot one of the movie/dinner types, start trying your abilities at pool, bowling, putt-putt (maybe it’s a learned ability for some!), or some other group activity that you can split the cost of. You just might find a new hobby - or discover another interesting activity nestled in the folds of Erie County. November 10 November n November 12 November 15 What A Girl Wants....
