Under 21 in the retro world

[Lola N]

It seems to me that 90% of the shows and events going on in the rockabilly/retro community are located at bars or serve alcohol and require guests to be 21+. I will be 21 in July so I'm not too far off but for now I'm stuck just wishing.

I don't think i would be having as much of a hard time with this if I had friends in the business or was part of the show and could get in that way but seeing as I'm trying to get started I just get to wait til next year.

I just turned 19 in Oct. and it is extremely aggrivating that I cant get into some bars. Most of my friends are all over 21 and they use their connections to get me in sometimes, but I have to, say, sit in the sound booth and if I get up to go to the bathroom then I get kicked out! (I still feel some resentment about that situation haha) Luckily alot of the time I am in the burlesque or fashion show so I can get in and usually I can hang out afterward.

I'm 20 myself so I turn 21 in May too, but i do get to see some rockabilly community at shows for all ages. But i still get carded for video games so I'm probably gonna get carded everywhere as people think I'm 15. So I feel your pain.
