MUSIC: Where to meet guys in NYC!
My female friends always tell me how impossible it is to meet a guy in New York. It's not that I didn't believe them: statistically New York features a disproportionate number of single women to single men. It was more that I thought it couldn't be that hard to find a lot of single guys in one place.
This was proven last night at possibly the largest sausage fest ever witnessed in our fair city: a Dillinger Escape Plan concert at the Blender Theater. By my rough estimate, leaving out event staff, media types and publicists, there were approximately 400+ men at the show...and maybe 20 women.
Granted, this isn't the Wall Street/lawyer/doctor crowd...but if you like your men with impeccible music taste (at least metal-wise), with a brooding manner, youthful exuberance (and somewhat burly), last night would have represented a smorgasborg of potential mates. Hey, even their guitarist Ben Weinman admitted to us that it's certainly a lot easier to find good dudes over quality ladies at a DEP show.
As for the show...amazing. Intense. Lots of crowd-surfing, highly intricate metal/hardcore and, best of all, a lead singer unafraid to show his dragon breath. (See photo above. Note: while that photo isn't from last night, it pretty much encapsulates every night of a DEP show).
