<p>Okay i was bored and was thinkin of stuff I like to do in Ann Arbor. Maybe some this will appeal to some of you.</p>

<ul>
<li>kayaking/tubing/swimming in the Huron River</li>
<li>Disc Golf. The course in Canton is the best</li>
<li>Hookah Bar with 3+ friends (Cafe Oasis is good. Mint and Strawberry are the best flavors. Cafe Oz is the other popular hookah bar and is more middle eastern themed)</li>
<li>See a concert at the Elbow Room (my fav. venue in the Ann Arbor area) in Ypsi.</li>
<li>See the newest indie film at the michigan theatre</li>
<li>Go to Encore recording. Most of the people who work there are pretentious douche bags but they have a good selection</li>
<li>Watch the Micheal Jackson impersonator</li>
</ul>

<p>Feel free to add on</p>

<p>What is hookah anyway? On my first night of orientation i accidentally ended up in the group where one of the orientation leaders quickly dropped a bunch off at a coffee shop for what I heard was a hookah party. A friend and I were like...oops, we don't even know what hookah is so maybe we should leave right away.</p>

<p>A hookah, also referred to as a "sheesha" or an "argueeleh" is a water pipe, a traditional smoking aparatus widely used in the Near and Middle East.</p>

<p>There's a bus stop right across the street from comerica and it's only about 30-40 minutes to get there. I'm sure some students go to tigers games.</p>

<p>I have no clue what kind of bus you're talking about. I've heard of one person going to a Tiger's game during the school year, and it was because his dad had corporate tickets for the Tiger's/Lion's/Red Wings and he went with him.</p>

<p>The city bus (The Ride). You get on at the bus station in downtown ann arbor and theres a stop outside of comerica</p>

<p>Back in my day, Tuesday and Friday nights were gay nights at Necto's.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure Gay Night is still friday. I think tuesday is now goth night</p>

<p>Isn't there a gay night and then a lesbian night?</p>

<p>I think that gay night is all encompassing.</p>

<p>Monday is industrial/goth night...good drum n' bass music but then again, it's Monday. College night is lame. Same with Frequency Sat. Vision Sundays are great (house/techno) but no one shows up :-(. Friday night is where the party's at.</p>
