Midget wrestling is on tonight.

Two friends are going and they invited their friends. I just ran into someone at the library who can't go, and she was like, "Are you still going to that dwarf fighting tonight?"

The whole area of town is trashy late 20s/early-to-mid-30s professionals. The dwarf bar has been annually voted the city's best pick-up bar for the past few years, and the men's dress code is collared shirts, jeans, and dress shoes. A free newspaper from like a week ago had a party organizer on the cover from that part of town in that very outfit, and he had worked-out arms but a double chin and an incipient pot-belly, and the article was all about him manning a clubline to make sure only women with proper loungerie were allowed into a midsummer's night dream party. A bar around the corner from the dwarf bar has this banner outside that says "1oos OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN... AND 3 UGLY ONES!!!", and professionals flock to it too. I feel like this entire part of the city is just filled with people debasing themselves for the white male gaze.

I trust we will be hearing more about this. Did you wear a collared shirt?
