Remember back in the day when you lived for Friday night at the skating rink? Mom would drop you off and (hopefully) drive away, leaving you sans parental supervision for a few hours of your miserable parent-infested life. You met up with your clique and flirted with your crush of the week, dedicating songs to him/her with hopes that they'd save the couple's skate for you, just so you could hold hands for 3 minutes and 47 seconds until the song ended. If you were one of the cool kids or promiscuous in your primal years, you hung out in the back on the low benches with no skates trying to make out with your girlfriend while everyone else stared in awe - at least until the security guard told you not to sit on the bench again or he's kick you out. For the athletic in nature, you probably anxiously awaited the races so you could show off your mad skills and be the envy of all your loser friends. Whatever your experience, it's time to revisit it by taking your current steady out for an "Old School Night" at the skating rink!
If you can bear it, make it authentic by grabbing skating rink nachos, over sized pickles and a shared orange soda or even a concocted suicide. Feel free to go on a Friday night to show the new generation how it's really done.
This website provides a list of links to skating rinks by city SESKATE.com. Some rinks provide adult skate nights with old school jams for 18 and up patrons. Have fun!
