About three months later, I found myself in the thick of Ladies' Night at the Hungry Duck. In theory, I should not have seen this part of the evening--Ladies' Night means that women get in and drink free until 9 p.m. while men are not even allowed in the bar. At nine, the bar opens its doors to a limited number of salivating males. As patron Eliot Hodge `02 explains, "Ladies' night at the Duck is basically a form of free prostitution...

On a typical night, so many people dance on the bar it is hard to see the bartenders. Stripteases occur spontaneously, leaving women in various states of undress.
