Guy's Night Out | Lifecrowd

?
HBO?s Entourage has come to an end, and you and your bros are trying hard to fight the withdrawals. How on Earth will you fill the void left by Vince, E., Turtle, Johnny Drama, and Ari Gold? Instead of sitting around and getting all sentimental about it, you should plan a guys? night out. Yours should be no run-of-the-mill endeavor; it?s the end of an era and reason to celebrate manliness in a bold, unique way.

The first rule to break is restricting your shindig to just the evening. Nothing says machismo like extreme sports so a few afternoon hours of kiteboarding are ideal for adding a new dimension to your testosterone-fueled festivities. This sport fuses kite flying, windsurfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, and wakeboarding. Picture it: all of you hooked into harnesses with your feet slipped into your boards, launching your kites and catching some serious air. Looking like daredevils and the revelry has barely gotten started. A bit too much? Try channeling your inner Muhammad Ali with a boxing lesson. Sparring with a trained boxer for a few rounds should give your get-together a memorable start.

Next up: Get rid of any thoughts of drinking beer and eating hot wings at the local sports/karaoke/dive bar. Anybody can do that. Try brewing your own beer; now, there?s a thing that a manly man will do. If you?re more of a cocktail kind-of-dude, try amping up your mixology talents with Kellie N?s martini-mixing session. These skills could pay eternal dividends. You save money, possibly inspire an entrepreneurial effort, and impress your current (or future) Mrs.

Hungry? With L.A.?s great weather, any time is grillin? time. Grab some meat and veggies, fire up that grill, grab a glass of your homemade brew, and raise your glasses to salute male bonding at its best. If grillin?s too ordinary for your plans, try your hand at sushi-rolling or take a Chinese cooking class.

Wrap things up with a card game. Not just any card game, mind you. We?re talking blackjack, card-counting included. Break out the cards and cigars while you practice your strategies in prep for the next guys? night out in Sin City.

Extreme sports, beer-brewing and mixin?, grillin? and sushi-rolling, followed by blackjack card-counting. Vince and his entourage would be flattered by your tribute. Whatever you and your boys decide to do, don?t forget to take pics. Your lady friends will hardly believe you.
