Wine and dine on the patio (order the lamb lollipop appetizer), relax with your BFFs, and take in a bit of the action: free on-line tutorials and personalized coaching on site make it easier even for beginners. Food, fun, friends, and bocce: a good time will be had by all. By the way, bocce was played as early as 5200 B.C. in Egypt: perhaps the Pharaohs liked a game they could play while holding a drink.

This historic landmark was Sunnyvale's original bus stop, and back in the early 1970s was the location of Pong's beta test (remember the first video game?). Now, since 1979 Rooster T. Feathers has brought the nation's funniest entertainers to the casual and intimate setting of a Sunnyvale stage, up close and live the way stand-up is supposed to be. Catch a show at this comedy club, and be sure the performers find out you're a bachelorette party (think mother-in-law and other topical jokes). It's a recipe for hilarity. Bond over shared laughter, tasty popcorn and humorously named drinks such as Bikini Wax and Dirty Mother's Milk. Purchase tickets on-line and ask for reserved seating for your group.
