A discussion on ol' ladies and how they like to waste money going to silly meetings will be the featured talk at the weekly Men's Symposium at your local bar.
The Men's Symposium is a "professional" development conference for men that provides educational and networking opportunities. Share your knowledge/experiences and laugh at one another's expense.
This week's keynote speaker is my buddy Jim, a local bar fly and 2-time divorcee.
Registration is free, but refreshments are not.
The event is open to the public and all men are welcome. (no ol' ladies allowed)
