I say, all the kids under 21 pitch in a few dollars, and buy one communal copy and have our own premiere.

ex_ssn_yn1 12-03-07 09:48 PM

no offense, but there aren't enough 21+ events in richmond.


edit: removed anti-hipster sentiments. some of my best friends/roommates are hipsters.

Not to sound like a dick or anything but what is wrong with people under the age of 21? I understand that some people can be immature but that does not mean that they are ALWAYS under 21, I know aloft of people above that age that are more immature then alot of my friends. I get that Empire is pretty much a bar and therefore the 21+ rule makes more sense, but I think that someone who is 19 can sit there and enjoy the movie just as politely as a 23 year old. Alas this is nothing but my .02

VAwitt 12-04-07 01:18 PM

mmmm alkey hawl

zsno 12-04-07 02:37 PM

wind+cold+ear infection=****ty life.

funktupmofo 12-04-07 03:14 PM

Do you guys do anything about getting teary-eyed on the road?

I was zipping down Broad the other day against the wind and it was like opening my eyes in a swimming pool.

And yes, I wear glasses.

Should I just go ahead and special order a Mysterio fishbowl helmet?

it was happening to me today. Normally I can just blink it out but today it was harsh. I just look down and try and focus on the road directly ahead of me.

pot holder 12-04-07 05:14 PM

i get teary eyed sometimes and wear glasses..sucks but i just try and not let it affect me.

winds been off the hook these past few days.

VAwitt 12-04-07 07:38 PM

i typically just ride really fast throuht the wind then run to girls rooms hoping to get some sympathy dome

Straws 12-04-07 07:44 PM

I'm thinking about being an RA next year. Are there really this many people in the dorms that ride FG?

I'm older. i'm a college student. i'm also a veteran. i'm fighting for my veterans benefits and paying my own way through VCU. i like being around people who have had similar experiences as me, few of whom are under 21. I want to sit around with my friends and have a drink at a bar and not be bothered by a bunch of VCU kids in skinny jeans. i'm also tired of going to racine all the ****ing time. I'm sure empire has their reasons, all i know is that i appreciate it.

804RVA 12-04-07 08:18 PM

While I respect you as a veteran I think you are stereotyping a whole youth culture becasue of some kids that inhabit VCU. I think that age really has nothing to do with how mature a person is (to an extant) but to each his own, and I know Empire is a bar so yes they can set any rules they want.

lordgold 12-04-07 08:27 PM

Honestly, I don't think the whole "anti-hipster" attitude is really going to set anyone apart, especially in Richmond. I'll be the first to admit it, I guess I'm what people consider a hipster, but it's all stupid, high school bull****. Some of the best people I've met in Richmond are "hipsters" and that doesn't change my opinion of them one bit.

As for the Empire thing, I have no problem with it being 21+. I know that once I turn 21, I'd want some sort of safe haven where I can get away from the freshman, etc.

i'm not stereotyping - i don't like everyone at every bar, and i don't dislike everyone who isn't there. i need to get away from the people that are at school with me all week. just like i need to get out of my house occasionally, even though my roommates are my closest friends here at school. my comments weren't intentionally confrontational, i just want to be around people my own age now and then! :) Since i got out i have no one left to talk 'shop' with.

ex_ssn_yn1 12-04-07 08:34 PM

p.s. i own a pair of skinny jeans

Pemdas 12-04-07 08:42 PM

YOU HAVE TEETH?! hipster.

lordgold 12-04-07 08:49 PM

I don't think there's a single person in Richmond who hasn't worn skinny jeans at least once. :p

In response to the last half of that paragraph: Bars can't/shouldn't let in underage people, because despite the fact that you "aren't there too drink", you'll most likely still try. And if a 19 year old drinks, gets caught, and there happens to be an ABC agent around, the bar, not you, will get into trouble -- and real trouble, not your parents grounding you/not sending you a check in the mail trouble. Also, events like these are sponsored by drinking -- minors who can't drink take up space in an already packed bar, and therefore cost money, because sodas are free/cheap. Also, you don't realize how annoying you are at 19 until you get older, and trust me, you realize that you were really ****ing annoying (no offense).

Straws 12-04-07 09:34 PM

I'm down for a bar night. racine, empire, ipanema, roxy
