The GBS

I'm not sure what's been in the air lately, but a lot of my friends have been dealing with breakups. The event's always stressful and when you see your friend in pain, you want to make them feel better.

Some people claim that only time heals, but I always think back to The GBS which proves otherwise...

About a year ago, my good friend Jim had just broken up with his girl. Since it usually hurts the worst at night, I knew that he had to get out of the apartment and set up plans for us and our friend Mike to meet some ladies in the city.

"Thanks Steve. You really hooked it up tonight", Jim said, expressing his appreciation.
"Don't you worry, Jim-Bo. That's just what I do", I shot back.

So we got ready, threw back a few shots to kick off the night and headed into the city.

From a distance, the bar we were meeting the girls at looked classy. I was a little concerned that Mike might not get in because he was wearing sandals but when we walked up the bouncer appeared to be in a great mood. He greeted us with a friendly smile and ushered us inside without a problem.

"We must be radiating those winners vibes tonight", I thought.

Then I scanned the environment for our girls. I had a hard time finding them. As a matter of fact, I didn't see ANY girls. The entire place was littered with dudes.

"Wait a sec, what the..."

Suddenly, I received a call from the target demographic. They told us to head to the back while confirming that they were with their homosexual boss for the night. This was a gay bar.

Immediately after, from the corner of my eyes, I could feel Jim and Mike staring me down like Joe Pesci in Goodfellas, "You moddafucka, you".

Can't make this stuff up.

Fortunately, they showed some Sprezz and kept their cool. The next day Jim and I were even joking that Mike had seemed to be enjoying himself a little too much. But hey, that's the point- my friend was now laughing instead of sulking. Apparently, just being taken out of his reality helped to clear his head.

What can I say? It was all part of the plan... That's the Gay Bar Story.
