What's the creeepiest thing you can do in Boston on a Friday night?



This is how the Museum of Fine Arts bills their "First Fridays" event:
"Join us on the first Friday of every month in the majestic Koch Gallery for a spirited evening of socializing. Enjoy music, cocktails, friends new and old, and fine art. There is no other way to start the month!"

This is what they should say:
"Join us on the First Friday of every month in the majestic Koch Gallery for an obnoxious evening of being hit on by desperate 40-50 year old men. Witty conversation abounds all evening so be prepared for "Are you two sisters?" "Where have you been hiding all night?" and the ever classic, "Do you come here often?" Enjoy the surrealness of being surrounded by oil paintings while listening to our aging DJ play "SexyBack" and "Like a Virgin." One unique feature of our First Fridays is that once you've made it into the gallery with the rest of your new friends, the only way out is the same way you came in! That way, you'll be able to revisit all of those interesting conversations before you leave. There is no better place to enjoy an $8.50 half martini and no better way to start the month!"

If I could have taken pictures of some of these characters without having them think it was an open invitation to my pants, I would have. Check it out. I have a feeling that all the same people will be there next month.
