Good to hear from you, MM.
I kind of understand your point, but this is primarily a bunch of straight adult males getting together, thus the talk of strip clubs, ect.
I personally wouldn't give 2 cents to go to a strip club - does nothing for me. Full of plastic people who care about nothing but your money AFAIC, and it's a "read the menu, but you can't eat" type situation - HA!
BUT it IS a legal activity and men do love what women have to offer, just like God intended, thus the trip to the clubs, I guess.
Just because I don't want to go to a strip club doesn't mean I'm not one of the guys! My wife will be coming with me too and if I have MY way, we'll be - well - doing what married couples do when the wife says "yes" - at the end of every day.
That's just how guys think (I know I do, at least).
Yes - we're pigs. [:D]
As for other shenanigans - there's proper and improper behavior. Whether the person you're doing the "shenanigans" to is a stranger, best friend, relative, ect has everything in the world to do with what is "proper" and what is "not proper". You shouldn't have to put up with any shitty behavior at a shoot.
I hope you go to the event - another good lady for my wife to get together with.
NOTE - I'll cut you guys off at the pass who were about to make comments about my wife "getting together with MM", or "coming with me" - just shush it up.
Believe me, we need all the [s]bitc[/s] females we can get in the shooting community.
(directly above was an attempt at humor, MM [:D] - hope it was taken as such)
