And he didn't find much.
First of all, the winner of Comedy Central's guest host Insomniac contest was from Columbus, and they ate up several minutes on that. I knew we were in trouble when they counted out the winner's $1,000 prize 100 dollars at a time. Can you say "filler" boys and girls?
Then we got to see what's happening around Columbus after hours. Apparently, it boils down to:
- lap dance at Private Dancer on Morse Rd.
- Arena District bars
- Short North window shop
- visits to the Pointe Tavern and Bob's Bar
- putting on a green somewhere
- renting a pile of XXX videos
- visits to St. James Tavern and Buckeye Donurs
- visit to the Outland Club
- time at the Dawson Hog Farm (should have been a cow farm)
- the end...with Dave riding off on a lawn mower (how appropriate)
Is that really all there is?
What about the downtown bars? The Columbus Dispatch recently listed these downtown hot spots, many in the new Long Street Entertainment District:
- Club Envy, 55 E. Main
- Club 202, 202 E. Long
- Eagle, 232 N. Third
- Grapevine Cafe, 73 E. Gay
- Krome, 283 E. Spring
- MadLab, 105 N. Grant
- Plugged Nickel, 117 E. Chestnut
- Pyramid, 196-1/2 E. Gay
- Red Zone, 303 S. Front
- Snaps & Taps, 44 S. Washington
- Virus Lounge, 231 N. Fifth
The Long Street Entertainment District features six nightclubs in one. Surely Dave should have visited this? He didn't appear to.
Seems there should be more to see than that. Then again, now that your guide is pushing 40 he can't stay up past 11:00 p.m. anyway.
You can see photos of Dave's Columbus visit at the Comedy Central site.
