Nightlife Help a Minor Out
Posted by David Schmader on Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 2:38 PM
Just got a call from a friend who is (wisely) spending the first part of her New Year's Eve seeing Dina Martina's show at Re-bar.
The problem: My friend's visiting 20-year-old cousin, who is a year too young to be allowed into Dina Martina's show at Re-bar, and needs something "fun" and "cool" to do for a couple hours while the old folks laugh at their drag queen.
I'm trying to think back to what I liked to do when I was 20, but I can't really advise my friend to leave her cousin alone with a jumbo bottle of Gallo and a bunch of Smiths records.
Please share your (non-pornographic) ideas for this visiting 20-year-old in the comments.

20 years old? Any blood born diseases or history of organ damage? I could part the cousin out and we could split the proceeds.

Is Vera project doing anything tonight?
There's always the movies, or hanging out at a coffeeshop...

Is she free of disease? less than 20 sex partners? white? Into sex games with blades? Speak Italian?
I have a couple ideas on how to party

I'm trying to find something for under 21 folks to do as well. Any and all suggestions would be great.

How about a one-person protest march? Nothing too political - maybe "Metric Now" or something like that?

A bunch of kids are hanging out at Gas Works Park ... that's what a lot of them do ...
but, even if untrue, @11 for the win.

oh, smoke good weed ...
hang at Dicks with the dog
Schmader, you are getting prim in your old age ...

It is never too soon to learn how to spend quiet time alone. Earlier, Paul recommended reading Lady Audley's Secret, by Mary Elizabeth Braddon.
Get thee to a bookstore!

I've seen the suggestions, and I'm going to have to go with the Gallo and Smiths records. Save the first one for the bottom half of the bottle, but try not to disturb the neighbors singing along with "reel around the fountain, slap me on the patio, ohhhhh" at the top of your sob-shaking voice.

David, you know better than this...Dina is NOT a drag queen!
There's nothing wrong with drag queens, as long as they're good at it, and original and Wigstock/Trannyshackish and not the boring old tired kind, giving off 80's attitude and lip-synching, poorly, to Mariah and Whitney; (you know who you are!), but Dina is a brilliantly conceived and executed CHARACTER and her shows are well-written pieces of cabaret.
A man wearing a dress on stage doesn't necessarily make him a drag queen.
It might just be the Pope.

Friends don't let friends do Gallo.
Jack the good stuff from Fnarf's porch - the key's under the mat.

Is he cute? He can hang at my place. I've got a freshly-opened gallon of Jack Daniels and an extensive porn collection.
Oh wait... is it a girl? Never mind.

Get them a bottle of $10 champagne and some Smiths records. Take the car keys away and tell them you want a Smiths review and an empty bottle upon return.

Dina is not a drag queen --- oh, so please
and many of us who have seen IT twice, are a bit shy of thrice ... funky, campy dray, oops droopy drawers drag = tourist fare

Mushrooms and the Smiths would be fun! I am very impressed that nobody suggested the Seattle Center for the fireworks, Bravo Sloggers!
