OurHamster dazzled us with the following:
: It really just depends on if the bar/club is paranoid
: about "serving minorities", especially if they've gotten into that sort of
: trouble within the last year or so.

Wouldn't that be serving minors, not minorities?  Granted, I've never
met Nicole, but her problem has been that she's a couple months shy of
21, not ethnicality.

Then again, if you in fact meant miners, that's a whole different ball
of wax.

Dot0926 dazzled us with the following:

: i know this is a bit off topic, but, i never really understood the whole save
: the dophins thing...it all seems a bit arbitrary to me...."save the dolphins,
: but kill the tuna"

Well, as I always say (saw it on a bumper sticker ages ago), "Nuke the
unborn gay whales for Jesus."  Not that it matches my philosophy on
the individual issues, but the sentiment just carries so much weight.

You mean first degree *murder*, don't you? (Oh, no, it's that grammar
guy again! <g>) 

I just now wrote a response about how extreme your analogy was to a
Moxy Fruvous concert, but I trashed it when I realized that the
specific cause at hand is actually considered by many people to
condone or support legalization of murder, in a way.

Though your analogy does break down in the 'save two people' part. If
you want a closer analogy, consider your contribution a vote for a
particular issue. One vote for and one vote against Propostion M
effectively cancel each other out, but one vote for and two votes
against Prop. M gives the edge to the 'against' people. 

All I can say is that to attend such a Fruvous concert is a decision
that everyone has to make individually. I don't disagree that it is a
tough decision.

I too want to throw my plug in for the Worms. Honestly, they're the only
band who can make me laugh harder at a live show than Fruvous. They're a
musical comedy groupthat got their start at Queen's U. in Kingston (years
before I got there, mind you...) and are ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. If you can
only listen to one album, find yourself a copy of "Live Bait", which
includes songs like "Carrot Juice is Murder", my personal favourite
(although I'm also partial to "Proud to be Canadian" and "The Mountie
Song")
I would be more than willing to put together a small sample tape for
anyone who's interested - the Worms may be damn near impossible to find in
the States. I even have trouble finidng them in Kingston for pete's sake.
:) Veronica (who is EXTREMELY bitter to have missed both the Worms and
Fruvous together in the same place so darn close to home)

Makes perfect sense, Nicole. It probably also wouldn't help. Most
places that I know of still check IDs for Guest List people. The Guest
List just gets you in free, it doesn't change the law. Maybe that is
just a midwest thing, dunno.

Hmmmm. I'd say 2 is a better bet than 1. They probably don't look at
the expiration date regularly. They just check the birthday or age and
get on with it. Of course, I'm guessing again. I've gotten into a club
with a 4 month expired drivers license that said I was under 21, so
anything can happen *grin*
