In Seattle on music-tour-thing, bored- Help!

Hey folks,

So me and my buddy are on this crazy thing were we are traveling the U.S. doing a video documentary on the local music scenes of major citys in many states, called American Field Recordings, then releasing 15-30 min episodes as we progress. Its been a blast - full presspass on Bumbershoot was awesome, and we've seen/filmed a different show almost every night. But alas, I'm 19- so when I'm not carrying a load of equipment into bars looking busy, I can't get into the damn things. I have no idea what to do to socialize.

I'm from WA, so I know Seattle, but when it comes to finding something to kill time here, I'm totally lost-and I don't have much money.

I had to separate from my girlfriend for this trip, so I'm lonely as hell and its awful. When I'm not working at a show, I am back at my mobile studio/trailer. I need some social interaction that isn't at a venue or a bar or else I'll just get more depressed, blarh. Evan a simple party would do the trick, but I know no one in Seattle so I'm kind screwed on that front. Just got back from Numos and can't sleep due to odd 'On the road' loneliness.

Ideas? Anything helps. Thanks a ton.

    Here's your problem: there are fewer children per capita in Seattle than any city in the U.S., aside from San Francisco. So, the bar scene is great. However, most of the people who live here are young professionals.

    I can give you some recommendations for good places to eat, and you can do stuff nature-y if you're willing to leave the city, you can go visit the Space Needle, Experience Music Project (I actually highly recommend that, since you're so into music), and Science Fiction Museum, or you can check out the Seattle Underground tour (Google it, it's cooler than it sounds), but as far as actual socialization goes, your options are, like, concerts (which you're already checking out) or bars.
