If I were a hipster 18-year old, I'd gather some folks for dinner at Cafe Saint Ex on 14th Street, then see a show at the Black Cat.  All of it's all ages.

Get loaded!  Just don't drive or do anything too stupid.
 
 Just kidding.  I would never condone that underage drinking.  I thinkg Bags' suggestion was a good one.
 
 There's a good show at the Black Cat this Saturday night.  Carlsonics and High Strung.  But I don't know anything about the band playing there on your birthday.  They're calle Mae.  You could always check out who's at the Velvet Lounge or 9:30.

A gang bang was always my favourite birthday celebration.

sigh.  I have no interest in any of the shows that night, otherwise that would definitely be the first thing I would think of.
 
 ps. I'm not a hipster  :p

Since your birthday falls on a weekend, why not go out of town if you can/want to?
 
 To the beach, etc.  Bring your friends/have them meet you there.
 
 It could be fun/a different scene!  :)
 
 Cheers

On my 18th birthday my sister and I went to see My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult at the Metro in Chicago. And it was an 18+ show. We were the only ones NOT on drugs, but it was still an awesome show.

That's a good idea. Drive or take that $20 bus up to NYC for the day. Go shopping, hang out, whatever.

my dad won't let me travel without an adult.  my parents don't trust me as far as they can throw me, which is DC.  I think I'm really screwed as far as this b-day goes.

You will be an adult on your 18th birthday.
 
 
 Well, I don't hate my parents
 I don't get drunk just to spite them
 I've got my own reasons to drink now
 Think I'll call my dad up and invite him
 
 I can sleep in till noon anytime I want
 Though there's not many days that I do
 Gotta get up and take on that world
 When your an adult it's no cliche it's the truth
 
 'Cause I'm an adult now
 I'm an adult now
 I've got the problems of an adult
 On my head and on my shoulders
 I'm an adult now
 
 I can't even look at young girls anymore
 People will think I'm some kind of pervert
 Adult sex is either boring or dirty
 Young people they can get away with murder
 
 I don't write songs about girls anymore
 I have to write songs about women
 No more boy meets girl boy loses girl
 More like man tries to figure out what the hell went wrong
 
 I can't take any more illicit drugs
 I can't afford any artificial joy
 I'd sure look like a fool dead in a ditch somewhere
 With a mind full of chemicals
 Like some cheese-eating high school boy
 
 Sometimes my head hurts and sometimes my stomach hurts
 And I guess it won't be long
 Till I'm sitting in a room with a bunch
 of people whose necks and backs are aching
 Whose sight and hearing's failing
 Who just can't seem to get it up
 
 Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music
 I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket
 Noise, but I can't hear anything
 Just guitars screaming, screaming, screaming
 Some guy screaming in a leather jacket
 Wooah!
 
 (Chorus)

Time to move out of the house like my wife did at 18...
