I've noticed that my brain's default friends activity is "go hang at a bar". (lemm.ee)

99% of my ideas for what to do with friends have to do with "we hang, but at a bar".

I've started to consider suggesting aquarium trips, outdoor movie nights, etc, but then I decided it might be nice to chit chat about it with y'all because I wanna hear what y'all like. Especially things you didn't expect to be as pleasant as they were but became a regular thing.

I keep memberships to the zoo and the nature & science museum active because I like going to both with friends. Good way to get some exercise and do something different. That said, I didn't start doing that until I was about 30 and was a few years removed from the bar scene, so I guess it depends on your age and your friend group.

I'm not crazy about drinking or bars. It's just that I recently went sober, and I think that actively trying to avoid coming up with ideas that involve alcohol is making it ironically harder to think of ideas that don't involve alcohol. Lol

I think museums are a great idea as a public, neutral space to hang.
