I need to figure out how to get into the Dame this tuesday night to go see what may be the last time my friend's band plays. But I am not 21. And I don't have a fake id. Suggestions?
Okay, here's how to sneak in. Mikey P, please don't bust me or tell the doorpeople about this.
It must be crowded.
Wait until after the opening band and everyone's smoking outside. Hang out with them. When the headliner starts playing and everyone lines up to go back in, walk past the big, thick, disorderly line as if to say, "I've already been in." You can even raise your hand as if showing your stamp if you want (smear it with black beforehand). Then, if you're antsy, go immediately to the bathroom and breathe a sigh of relief. No one has EVER caught me doing this (I have been doing it for over two years).
Also, you could get someone who is overage to pay and get their hand stamped and then come immediately back outside to "smoke a cigarette," upon which you both walk to the side of Buster's or somewhere not obvious and press your hands together. The ink runs and you both now have perfect hand stamps. This is easier and less frightening than the other tactic.
yes, this first tactic sounds quite scary, but definitely worth a try. The second tactic seems totally doable except for that I don't know of anyone else, 21 or otherwise, that's going to the show tonight that I could ask. I will get in there somehow, dammit. Thanks for the tips!
*ahem* the term is "get-in-free," and if you simply believe that it will work whilst executing it confidently, it never fails. the trick is simply to look as if you already belong there and walk authoritatively away from all contrary authority...not that The Dame has any über meticulous/intelligent door staff in the first place.

Okay, peace! Mandy.
