I heard a great event idea--Man Up.  Let's face it, most galas and events are designed with a woman in mind, and in fact, by many women planners.  Not to offend you men, but there are more women planners than men.  But this event was designed by a man, lot's of men to be exact.  Men get to do all those things they like to do, drink expensive whiskey, smoke expensive cigars, tell crass stories, wear cool clothes, eat REAL men food like a big porterhouse steak, and mostly, not have their woman around...well for the most part. 

Yeah, have some really cool auction items, way expensive trips and such,  that they can buy for their significant other to get out of trouble after staying out late, smelling like smoke and drink etc,...until the credit card bill comes in.  OOPS.  Oh, SNAP!  Anyway, I thought it was a great idea to raise money for a nonprofit.  Why not spoil our men?  Make them look good and feel good and special...all for a great cause. Whatever that might be  (I mean for a non profit).  Man UP, Men's Night, whatever you wish to call it could be a really cool, cool event.  Think how you might do it...Whisky Tasting, men's fashion show, limo's, lots of imported beers, cigar tasting, rock music,  neat stuff.

I'll tell you how our Man UP event will turn out at another post date.  Thanks VERTICAL.  You ROCK!

Later...HEADS UP
