Big cities, huh? Do you like just walking around and checking out the sites?
I've never been to a SW convention, so I can't really comment on that.

# Bowling -- Fun once in a blue moon, but I'm REALLY bad at it, so throwing gutterballs all evening tends to hold me for a couple of years. :)
# Roller skating - I used to enjoy it immensely as a kid. Lost interest about the time I got my first car... same with bike riding.
# Ice skating - Too cold to do, to dull to watch.
# Miniature golf - Fun when the course isn't over-crowded with rude people.
# Amusement parks - Loads of fun.
# Water parks - Not at all my thing. ÂÂ
# Concerts - Love them.
# Going to Museums -  Enjoyable... I especially like the hokey tourist-trap ones.
# One Day Classes - I've never taken one, couldn't say. ÂÂ
# Walking Tours - not sure what this is... walking tours of what? If you mean historical sites... I like those.
# Factory Tours - Fascinating! Haven't been on one since I was a kid. I'd tour a different factory every day if I could.
# Dancing - I LOVE to go out dancing, don't get to nearly often enough.
# Shopping - The very mention of the word fills me with a sense of dread and foreboding.
# Going to the Cinema -  I wish I'd get to pick the movie for a change and that the seating was comfortable.
# Poetry Readings  - Mega-yawn.  ÂÂ
# Going to a Coffee Shop - Waste of perfectly good money.

I didn't get what you wanted us to do with this at first....now I do so....
# Bowling~ Like it alot....not very good at it....but I try
# Roller skating ~ I'm more of a skateboarding kind of person
# Ice skating ~ Love it...until you fall and get stuck with a wet mark on your butt that shows everyone that you are an ice skating loser.
# Miniature golf ~ Man I suck at it.....I end up off the course...having to climb fences/jump ponds to fetch the ball.
# Amusement parks ~ LOVE THEM....I can be a bit of a bench warmer with the old people sometimes though
# Water parks ~ Slimy, nasty....and there is always the random Bandaid floating on the surface of the pool.....
# Concerts ~ crowded....I would rather listen to the cd by myself
# Going to Museums ~ love it.....but it depends on which museum it is....Andy Warhol was really cool
# One Day Classes~ Can't tell you....never been to one before
# Walking Tours~ Well...they are ok....
# Factory Tours~ Hershey factory...Very cool
# Dancing~ I get uncomfortable in the social scene
# Shopping~ I don't really like it, unless I know what i am getting and where its at
# Going to the Cinema~Cool, except for Friday Nights when all the pre-teens crowd around like hungy cattle
# Poetry Readings ~ I would love to go to one
# Going to a Coffee Shop~ LOVE THEM

That's true, but it does have one thing in its favor:  No matter how many pins everyone around me knocks over -- even if I accidentally manage to knock some over, myself -- they'll get picked back up and put back how they go, but I won't be the one doing it. ÂÂ

My guess would be that he was trying to decide where to take a lady on a date, (Beth, maybe? lol) and wanted a female point of view on what is fun and what is boring...
