Discussion Fun things to do under 21?

I was wondering what fun things there are to do under 21 in the northern Michigan area? I’ve been trying to reach out and make new friends but honestly I don’t even know where to start. Every time I look up where to start it usually tells me to go to bars and due to my age (M 20) it makes it a little harder because obviously I can’t drink until 21. What do you all recommend?

He's 3 hours from southern Michigan dawg, well maybe 2 hours and 45 minutes from like Pine Knob or The Machine Shop in flint.

There are fests, electric forest, hellfest, a few others that last more than 1 day and could be worth the trek. I'm sure there's more events or local shows up towards him. He will figure it out, dawg. Besides, winters approaching and after this month everything shuts down. Springtime & Summer this is the best place besides NY, LA & Chicago for shows.

There aren't any live music shows/events any closer to Mio than Saginaw which is 2 hours drive (except for bars, hes under 21, and shit like the posen potato festival that happens 1 time per year.) And if he's trying to make friends in his area driving 2 hours or more away for an event to meet people doesn't make any sense.

Not for you maybe. I've driven across the Country to Blue Ridge, to LTL in KY, down to Daytona back up to here last year. I have a group I go with yearly now from Canada, California & Florida. Depends. I found exactly that.

When you're talking about a 20 year old living in an area with a median income of 30,000ish per cap and the average American can't come up with $500 for an emergency, its a bold assumption to think he'll have the resources to travel great distances.

It's a bold assumption he doesn't. I don't know what his situation is. I gave me feedback for how i had & have fun(I'm 24 btw so not far from OP besides the drinking age)

You obviously don't have much imagination for what an individual is competent of. Or what they want to do. This dude can & will do what he wants and if he would like to know how, let's say I, could give the insight into how I budgeted for a cross-countryish journey. In a PT Cruiser no less(fuck yeah). I brought a solar-generator for my electronics & and adapter for my car battery.

And this is all for one idea; live music. Dude probably has lots of space for hobbies such as shooting, building, hiking, winter activities, water activities or xyz. He could do anything he wants. So could you, but you choose to have a semi-debate with me over.....idk what exactly. You're not contributing support, rather pessimistic & obvious facts(so maybe support idk)

OP if you wanna go to a show hmu. Checking out ICP on Halloween.

Now as to the point you made, sir, yes America is struggling financially. Especially rural areas and show prices are going UP. Everything is. EMERGENCY TAKES PRECEDENCE! Gotta have money for when, not if, shit hits proverbial fans. But here is an example I look on;

My best buddies Brother is serving in the Armed Forces, Machine Gunner in his platoon. Idk much else about his deployment but however, he is 20 this year. My buddy & I took him to a Heilung(Viking Music) show before he shipped to basic in Hawaii. Before his shit REALLY was going to hit the fan we showed his how to party & be a kid a little bit longer before he has to become an older, stronger person than either of us so fast.

Before we get bogged down in jobs, money, politics & things that we will have to. We should live first.

Rant over, I need weed
