18+ concerts? What's that?

Shows you can only attend if you're 18 or older. I know they exist in the UK too, and the US has 21+ shows. It's due to liquor licensing laws. At venues that are licensed liquor establishments, e.g. clubs, they are not allowed to admit anybody under the legal drinking age to any concerts held there. The only time they hold under 18s shows are when absolutely no alcohol is being sold that night inside the venue.

Obviously, this doesn't apply to larger venues, like sporting arenas or stadiums, where people are carded before buying alcohol. It's only for establishments where the primary business function is selling alcohol, which tend to be the clubs that have a band room and a bar, where smaller acts perform.

I sent some PMs to you cats. Hope that's cool.

Ah, I see. Well here you get carded while buying the drinks, I guess that's why we don't have 18+ concerts.

Honestly, if I ran a club, I'd find 18+ to simply be more convenient. You can go ahead and serve anybody in the venue a drink without having to waste time carding them. That's all taken care of for you at the door.

I also love how I never get carded. I guess I look a bit older than I am, now that I've grown a beard and all.

Ah, well here they've advisory ratings for kids, 16+ and 18+ but there's not really any checking on that... and if you're with a parent you get in anywhere too.. only in pubs and clubs you need id. Well, unless you're a girl ofcourse. You just need boobies in that case.

Yeah, you can always get in with a parent. Sometimes with an older sibling, though they sometimes get bitchy about that. In Kentucky you can't get into bars/clubs unless you're 21. Fullstop. In other states you can get in at a lower age, but they stamp you as a minor so no one will serve you.


And here Ax:

I was pretty far away, across a street and parking lot. Gotta love the Girl Scout billboard though. It has a punk girl "Cookies, yes. Cookie cutter, no."

Zoomed in. The train was basically just sitting there motionless. Dunno why.

So not.

 

[The Sad Punk]

So not.

Sorry! I didn't know if you'd want it or not.

 

[liamcool]

Sorry! I didn't know if you'd want it or not.

Just kidding.

 

[Axver]

Train photos!

Chass

And I'm quite amused by the pairing of coal wagons with, of all things, a Girl Scouts billboard.

I'm not sure my cat knows how to read and/or type a reply.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Shit, I hope I haven't caused too much of a thing.

REM ftw. *is still listening to Murmur*

Do you have Fables of the Reconstruction, Reckoning, and Life's Rich Pageant yet?

Because if you don't, hurry up and get them.

I have Reckoning. Any good?

You broke my heart. XD

18+ concerts? What's that?

There's places in the world where over 18s concerts don't exist...that would of made things easier for me when I was 17



Someone talk to me before I do more stupid things...

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I PMed you back, Bonnie.

 

[Galeongirl]

Shit, I hope I haven't caused too much of a thing.

Not at all. I replied, since my cat is asleep.

Well, I've never heard of it so I think you're safe here!


Long time no see!

 

[Axver]

I have Reckoning. Any good?

YES. Probably the best of the three to play after Murmur. Partly due to it being the album immediately after Murmur chronologically!

So. Central Rain in particular is a fantastic song.

I thought you didn't like REM?

I'll put it on after Murmur.

Well if I was still under 18 I'd consider moving

My thread is dead and I'm having a bad day, I need somewhere alive to talk

Since when didn't I like REM? Fables Of The Reconstruction is one of my favourite albums, and Orange Crush from Green is the first favourite song I can ever recall having.

 

[Galeongirl]

I can so see that happening.

Talkwhore.

Well we've cooler things here to do for over 18s here too. Holland is a great country!

 

[The Sad Punk]

I love early REM, too.

 

[Axver]

Eighties REM in general is quality. But much like U2, there isn't a whole lot of worth since then.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

this ad.

First a UFO takes this guy's guitar. Then his car gets hailed on. Then his house burns down.


The UFO beaming up his guitar is really the absolutely best part though.

Hush you. Michael Stipe is my wannabe boyfriend. I'd listen to that man sing the contents of the phone book.
