    • This took place in San Francisco and I can say 90% of the parents took public transport. The other 10% Drank a token beer. 100% of them were not even close to being intoxicated. I know because of producing this pod I was at the venue until to the bitter end. Which I loosely recall was was 4 pm.

    • Do they offer rides home for parents who have been drinking? I mean I don't think it's awful, but, are we showing kids that the only way to have fun is with drinking? to each his own....
      I don't knwo I remember my Dad taking me to a bar, and well, it was fun but, it wasn't really right...

    • I wish we had one of these in FL myself. It's hard to find parents who have the same interests as i have. My husband is always away at band practice and work, leaving me to wonder "what will i do with my son today?". It would be nice to meet responsible parents who still embody the scene! There's not a place around here to do so. Everyone has either conformed too much or is still too crazy to be comfortable around... lol that or they just don't have a little one yet.

    • I would love to find something like this in the DC area! As a parent of a little one, I sorely miss the club scene. I know my little family would enjoy frequenting a kid & adult friendly club. Come to the East Coast...please!

    • I was there, and there was hardly any alcohol being consumed. Everyone was way too busy watching their kids. So I can appreciate the concern about drinking during the day, but I can assure you, it was not a problem at all. I think I had half a beer, and we had taken public transit to and from the venue.

    • I am not by any means against alcohol. In fact I think it's great, but it seems like drinking in the middle of the day and babies is a dubious combination. I suppose that almost anything can be healthy in moderation, but our society has not shown discretion to be one of its strengths.

    • This is exactly what Ive been looking for. Unfortunately I live in Central Fl. where 95% of the parents are khakis wearing suburban moms. Not that theres anything wrong with that, its just not the kind of mom I am. It would be refreshing to see more places like this pop up all over the US.

    • This is like Gymboree for the 21st century. Cool look into a unique subculture within a new generation of parents. Great interviews with some of the parents/club-goers. I especially like the conflict of trying to be a good, responsible parent while preserving one's youth. It might have been nice to get some interviews with parents that might have opposing opinions about the club to heighten the conflict a little more.

    • They've got a (slightly out of date (next show, 11/10/07 haha!)) myspace page! If I am in SF by the time I start having kids, that seems like something I'd enjoy.
