Emily's Post: "The bachelor party. The whole night. Things got out of control and, uh... we lost Doug"- The Hangover

As I keep seeing the same commercial over and over for The Hangover 2 telling me to buy it for the holidays and that it's also available on Blue-Ray, I realize that I haven't seen it.  Like everyone else, I saw the first one and loved it- but I'm not one for sequels.  Trilogies, Series, Sagas, yes- but just a comedy sequel... ehhh.  First question to you, is it worth it?  Thoughts?

But this also made me think that as wedding season is winding down so is bachelor/bachelorette party season.  On the plus side, the bars are not as crowded.  But I won't lie, I always miss the trolleys in the winter not only as a patron but as well as a witness to the dancing bachelorettes and shouting bachelors as they drive down Lincoln Ave.  I always say when riding a trolley, don't forget that you probably paid for the city crawl and could BYOB, so don't spend too much time at your pit stops because then you miss out on the party ride. 

When we think of b-parties, I feel like we think of games, gifts, bar crawls and Vegas!  But my second question is, what's your favorite thing you've ever done at a bachelor/bachelorette party?  What's the best place to go?

I look forward to hearing from you and HAPPY PLANNING!
Emily
