My boyfriend and I have a problem, and perhaps one of you can answer it. I know, I am supposed to be the one answering things, but this is beyond my abilities. What does one do for fun at night if you don't want to drink and also have the following restrictions:

1) You are not religious or spiritual
2) You hate pretentious things (This is him, not me. I wallow in pretension, practically snorting with glee every time someone rolls his or her eyes at me.)
3) You do not like outdoorsy things, like camping
4) You are poor

I think that there is this really sad gap in our society where alcohol ends and you decide to baby it up. What do you do in the meantime?

I had this amazingly genius plan to create some sort of place that didn't serve alcohol but had all sorts of fun activities for people 21 plus -- like a rock wall and a poker room and karaoke. I had it, that is, until I realized that what I had envisioned was essentially an adult version of a lock in at a fancy YMCA... but what is wrong with that?

OK-- maybe the answer is that he and I need to be more open minded, but I would love additional suggestions. And if there is someone out there who is a member of a super secret awesome fun club that I can be a part of, just let me know.
