{{ :people:motivation:spaceship.gif|}}//“I know, lets do something fun as a team!”
“Yeah, that is a great idea!”
“How about a movie afternoon?”
“A movie? We did that last time.”
“And the time before that.”
“Well, what else is there to do in this city?”//

What else is there to do? This is your cheat sheet.

I haven’t been to every city around the country, so your mileage may vary with some of these suggestions, but it should get you started. And if you have a great idea for something in your city, add it to the comments section.

      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top"><strong>Sports Game</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top">Go to a sports game! Depends on what you have in your town&hellip; baseball, basketball, soccer, etc.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top"><strong>Go to Sea</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top">If you&rsquo;re on the coast, go to sea and do something&hellip; whale watching, maybe. </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top"><strong>BEER!</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top">Go to a brew pub. Preferably a cool one. Note that in my experience, engineers tend to fall more sharply across the 'don&rsquo;t drink at all'/'drink a lot' line, so if you do this, make sure you keep an eye on things.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top"><strong>Museum (Nerdy)</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top">Go to a museum. If you&rsquo;re lucky enough to live in Mountain View, CA, you can go to the <a href="http://www.computerhistory.org/">Computer History Museum</a>, but otherwise anything will do. Science and space museums do seem to be particularly popular.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top"><strong>Comedy Club</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top">Go to a comedy club. It can be a great stress reliever, especially after a long day's work.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top"><strong>Go Shopping</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top">Yes, I&rsquo;m serious. But not for clothes&hellip; give everyone a $50 gift card to <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/">Best Buy</a>, <a href="http://www.compusa.com/">CompUSA</a>, <a href="http://www.frys.com/">Fry's</a> or your local electronics store and let them buy themselves stuff for their cubicle. And you very well might spend less for this than if you went to a ball game. </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top"><strong>Bowling</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top">Its an old standby, but it works. And you can even do management vs. developers, or IT vs marketing, or some other creative thing.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top"><strong>Go Skeet Shooting</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top">Or similar. 12 Guage shotguns are more fun than you might think.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top"><strong>Be A Tourist</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top">Do something touristy in your own town. For example, for the Bay Area people, go to Alcatraz. If you&rsquo;re in New York, go to the Statue of Liberty. You&rsquo;d be surprised at how many locals have never done these things.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top"><strong>Play with Toys</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top">Buy a Frisbee, some nerf guns and other such things, and go to the park.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top"><strong>Go-Kart</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerowb" valign="top">Go to a Go-Kart Track and race each other.</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top"><strong>Food</strong></td>
        <td class="tablerow" valign="top">An old standby, but taking everyone out for a nice dinner can be great. <em>Added at the suggestion of 'scto'.</em></td>
      </tr>
