ADULT PLAYDATE

***FIVE REASONS ADULTS SHOULD MAKE A "PLAYDATE"***

A company called PlayDate is offering an alternative for people sick of wasting their weekends at bars. At PlayDate, you can dance, socialize . . . or even play Hungry Hungry Hippos. Here are five reasons YOU should make a PlayDate . . .

#1.) NO HANGOVERS. Once we turn 21, a lot of us forget that having fun doesn't HAVE TO involve booze. Drinks ARE available, but spend a night at PlayDate and you'll be more likely to wake up the next day and actually remember all the fun you had.

#2.) IT'S CHEAPER. A night out at the bar can easily cost $50. A trip to PlayDate can offer a lot of fun for a lot less money. $10 gets you in the door, food and drinks are optional, and activities like board games, painting and musical chairs are free.

#3.) YOU'LL MAKE FRIENDS. You hardly every make REAL friends at bars. But outside of the bar atmosphere, you're more likely to connect with people and find real friendships . . . maybe even a relationship.

#4.) YOU TAKE A BREAK FROM BEING AN ADULT. A night at the bar might be a break from life in general, but how often do you get to escape your age? When you're playing Twister and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, it's hard to NOT feel like a kid again.

#5.) YOU'RE PROBABLY NEAR ONE. The PlayDate company started in Atlanta, but now there are PlayDates in 9 cities around the country, with plans to open 20 more sites this year. You can visit their website, www.PlayDateUS.com to find out more.
