It's like the FDNY Calendar in real life 3-D! On June 13th firefighters and those who want to see them with their shirts off will flock to Union Hall for Hundredaire Matchmaker ("the dating show where singles meet singles rolling in singles"). The event will consist of two lucky ladies having ten rugged, handsome firefighters competing for the chance to date them. But organizers assure the rest of the ladies out there that "there will be eight of New York’s Bravest (And Most Eligible) going home alone after the show, so even if you don’t compete, just showing up means you still might win! Here's a little classic Billy Baldwin to get you in the mood.
Head over here for more details, and here for tickets.
