because I actually can't even bring myself to write about this whole poop-fest in the making again I will just let you read what others did.

Honestly - whats the difference between LNS and the Garatacuhi people? Both have dress codes, get trashed and make drunken passes at each other with comedic results, take a bunch of pictures of each other and plaster them all over the place, generally look like assholes to outsiders, and seem to enjoy themselves.
if it all ended up in drunken idiocy, you know we'd probably not have any issues with it.
but gander the forums: general feelings of chauvinism, misogyny, somewhat raging classism/nationalism/racism and all sorts of other "ism"s is on display.
clicking on the links above provides some samples.
Are you sure this isn't a casting call for for BYT?
are the LNS crowds upstart bars funded by cocaine loot as well?
Forums where you don't have to use your real name can always result in that. I'm sure that the same can be said of this site by searching thru comments. I'm not sure if you moderate them - but have you ever had to remove some of the "ism"s from here? Airborne can bring the chauvinism and misogyny - and i've seen plenty of classism and racism at R+R and events at the Cat, if not overtly in the comments here. And, honestly, people act how they are going to act - i'm not going to change or try to change that. But, to critisize a group for that, while turning a blind eye to the same issues in a group closer to you just gives me a bad feeling.
at least the guy could try to spell it right...
and when does Garutachi have a dress code?
except maybe New Year's, which i didn't attend
but it's freakin' New Year's!
it's the only night of the year where a tux/at least a suit for men and a gown/fancy dress of some sort are mandatory attire! no jeans/sweats/tees/sneakers should be allowed!
Garutachi does not have a dress code, not even on NYE.
In all seriousness though - where is this fabled BYT/Garutachi crowd that Svet and I are the supposed ring leaders of for the past 3 years? We'd totally like to hang with them. Last time we checked nobody came to Garutachi...

Breakage

Last night, after a few too many glasses of wine at Milano, I dropped my date off at her apartment. She asked me up for a drink. I was not into it, but Tuesday night takedowns only happen ever so often so I proceeded. She made me wear a condom because she was not on the pill for some reason. Deed done, I went into the bathroom to dispose of said condom and discovered it had long since broken. In a panic, I went back into her room, chatted for a few minutes and then departed gracefully. She also mentioned she was glad we slept together because she was getting her period in a few days. I failed to mention whatsoever that I may have impregnated her. Do I have to say something or just leave it be and hope she won’t get pregnant? Maybe she knew? I never want to see or talk to her again. She was a boring conversationalist and the sex was bad.

oh god: I probably should have searched for your profile on here first. That’s us. Check your gmail and tell me what you want to do. Sorry.

this is unbelievable. how could you not tell m? i could have taken plan b this morning instead of having to run all the way to cvs sobbing.

FYI, they also post topics like, “Muslims… what to do about them,” “Peeing the bed” and, of course “girls who are ridiculously aggressive in bed”
its like high school all over again...jocks/preps vs the "alternative" crowd...i dig it.
I totally had this one chick over one time. She was ridiculously agressive, a Muslim, and she peed the bed. What to do about it?
PS - I'm totally going to apply for this, especially considering I'm an ingenue, a fashionista, a bad boy, AND a jet-setter.
"the guy" - sure there isn't a dress code. There isn't one at LNS nights either. But, if you show up at either wearing the wrong thing, don't act like you won't get sneered at or snubbed. Theres no need to get defensive - I've enjoyed Garutachi the times i've went, and I don't have anything aginst anyone here. It's just that you would like to make sure your own house is spotless before you set upon cleaning your neighbors.
i'm not even attempting to clean anything.
or sitting on any high horse.
i am just pointing out the somewhat sad, obvious facts.
(I mean, did you read the transcript above?)
much like most people point out (to them) the sad, obvious facts of what they read here.
whatever, let's totally set up competing friends factions with them and have staged run-ins; that was always the best part of Laguna Beach.
I'm just saying, if enough people that were more BYT than LNS showed up and played the LNS part at this thing, it could lead to some hilarious results.
"Friends and acquaintances strongly encouraged to apply together."
jason! let's totally apply together! who else is in?
Jason - I can't believe you told everyone about us!
sounds like internet gang wars
I will audition for the role of Goose. Dee, what part are you going for?
Sara - I couldn't keep it in any longer, it was one of those things that needed to be said.
Dee - I need to get my popped baby blue polo shirt and khakis out, along with my supply of roofies and one of those special visors that has the bill on the side and not the front., then we'll be all set to go.
how could you? that night was sacred - just you, me, a strap-on, and allah. sorry about your sheets, but i only peed because you asked me to (like, a million times).
Sara - you let Jason wear a strap on and DP you? That's hot.
Svet- The Plan B conversation you posted was a joke, concocted by two friends, on a rather boring afternoon last winter. Please keep citing it as "proof" that we're all assholes. Guess what, 99% of what is posted is to get a rise out of people and play devil's advocate. I guarantee if you met most of us at a bar, we'd be friendly and nice and even probably buy you a drink. Most of us are completely embarrassed by the proposed reality show and want nothing to do with it.
while all we do on this site is concoct jokes to pass boring afternoons, if you find this kind of stuff funny on public forums, you need to spend a moment and think about how it can be interpreted by people who don't know you (same thing happens with people that read BYT and pass judgment daily)
and guess what? you got a rise out of people and whatnot, so mission accomplished, no need to complain about it.
fun had by everyone.
Dear lns person,
I have met many of you at a bar. You like to call me a "faggot" and threaten me with physical violence, especially when your lady friends start to take interest in me. No need to cite anything to prove you're all assholes, you simply are, that's kind of the whole point.
Cale- Well, considering the fact that I'm a liberal female and have never used that word in my life, even to quote someone else, because it makes me sick, I'd say no, you don't really know me at all. Just like I don't know many of you. Just because I happen to like wearing pearls and going out in Georgetown doesn't make me an asshole. But you assuming you know me because of my affiliation with a social networking site with a 20K membership kinda makes you one.
