Party With the Grown-ups

The parties I attend don't usually come with MPAA ratings, but maybe they should. I feel like it might be useful to know ahead of time what you can expect from a night out, in terms of the number of occurrences of strong adult language and/or brief nudity. Unfortunately, most...

The parties I attend don't usually come with MPAA ratings, but maybe they should. I feel like it might be useful to know ahead of time what you can expect from a night out, in terms of the number of occurrences of strong adult language and/or brief nudity. Unfortunately, most parties have yet to implement this system, but I know of at least one that has: the Holidaze in the '60s comedy retro theme party, happening now through February 26 at the Old Mill Inn Restaurant at Fair Park, 3611 Grand Ave. The combination comedy show, three-course dinner and dance party is rated PG-13, and, FYI, I'm pretty sure it's for jokes about smoking pot, rather than topless ladies. Tickets are $49, and '60s costumes are recommended but not required. Show times are 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. Saturdays (except on Christmas, New Years Day, and February 5). For tickets and more information, call 972-263-3012.
Sat., Dec. 11, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Dec. 18, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Jan. 8, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Jan. 15, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Jan. 22, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Jan. 29, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 12, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 19, 7:30 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 26, 7:30 p.m., 2010
