it's the same for me, but every time I go to a gig alone I get really nervous before and don't wanna go (if i *really* like the band/musician I am going anyway). most of the times I make new friends at the gig, but the times I spent a whole show alone kinda make me uncomfortable... Between bands I never know what to do except sit down somewhere and... have a drink and look around. and feel stupid. last week i decided to go alone, I meet up with friends before the gig, but they didn't want to go in. But AGAIN, I made new friends at the gig and the night was fun. I am glad I went. AND I got to hold Nate Young like a baby. That was weird. AAAH.

But you probably don't look stupid. I don't think I've ever seen someone sitting alone and thought they looked stupid. Yet, everytime I have sat alone, I too have felt stupid. How stupid. |

strange, I totally know how you guys feel about going to shows alone, but some of the very best gigs I have ever seen were when I went alone.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I have, and if I'm in the right mental state, it's fine. In fact, saw Sonic Youth alone and had a delightful time finding the sweet spot and just listening to one of my favorite bands and not a friend's editorial or whatever.
But I'm more often self-conscious, although I have reason to be. (I'm ugly and stupid and everyone hates me). Everyone else is being a pussy. |

But your an attractive intelligent person. You could made friends between sets.
I'm ugly and stupid and everyone hates me, so I don't have a chance. Why bother? |

don't sweat it. everyone who goes to see obscure bands knows what it's like to wake up in the morning with the taste of failure in their mouths. especially the loud bros with their beers who're trying so hard to be cool. there is nothing to fear. |

^he might be onto something.

Yeah, they are trying, aren't they? Probably because of these people, I now and then think something along the lines of: "Who the fuck are these people? What do I care what they think? My few good qualities are better than their many mediocre ones. I'll take my literacy over your social life anytime. Go ahead and call me a loser. From you it's a compliment." Not sure if this is confidence or just anger. Or the truth. |

Next time I go, I'll tell people that. "Don't look at me, asshole. You're nothing but a fucking tree."

gawker sucks and needs to fire its editors for making sensationalist, clickbait titles that have little to do with the articles. when once in a blue moon they post something well written (http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/ame...ple-1620169913) they nearly ruin it with a title that's complete crap.
