You just party with the wrong crowd <G>. Unless I have a real youngster in the van, or unless it's too hot to leave a dog in the van while going out to eat...we always go out and party after. It would be fun if we started to "tail gate" <G> after the shows...but then you run into the whole thing about upsetting the food vendor.....and of course no alcohol in most of these parks we now use...
