I think I'm too independent sometimes. Its gotten me into trouble. A dark concert doesn't sound like the kind if environment I want to be in alone.
how you go alone with 60thousand people?.. yes, plenty 113 times seeing the dead. probably 60times alone.
I was on my phone answering before with my whole family here. Seriously, you should do it. I feel like there is something liberating about doing something like that alone. When I went to another state to see Social Distortion nobody else wanted to go with me and it was in the middle of the week so I went alone. It was so nice because I could stand where I wanted to. I didn't have to worry about if the person I was with was having a good time or if they could see. I made friends while I was standing in line. It was a blast. Just in September I went to a music festival in Chicago. I wanted to see Rancid and my friends wanted to see Blondie. I left them to see Rancid alone. It was awesome. I could get as close as I wanted and didn't have to worry about my pansy friends being too close to the pit. I also went and saw Dropkick Murphys when they came here once alone. One of my friends ditched me so I went alone. It was pretty awesome. I really do almost prefer to go alone and not have to worry about anybody else. Besides that, most of my friends don't listen to punk music so they don't really want to go with me. I'm ok with it.
I won some tickets to robert palmer. and everyone say "NO ways Im not going". so I go alone and throw the 2nd ticket away.. front row seats, I was 16yrs old... nowadays this song makes me feel so weird... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52lOKC6nEJE"]Robert Palmer - Simply Irresistible (Live - 1997) - YouTube
I like being alone but not in crowded, dark places. I don't think that's my style. As a matter of fact, I refuse to do it. I've had a decent amount of bad experiences that it's just extremely uncomfortable. If I have to I will pay for my friend's ticket or meet up with someone else who wants to go. I see how it could be cool for certain people, but I'm having lots of memories now that I'd forgotten that tell me it's one of those types of situations that isn't good for me. Festivals I'm cool with, beaches, mountains, downtown areas, sure. I don't like malls, concerts, clubs or places like that when they're crowded though. I even had a panic attack in high school once because our damn hallways were so crowded. Having just one person in a situation like that helps me a lot.
In that case, do whatever you are comfortable with. No use in causing stress about something that is supposed to be fun.
Yeah I don't think I ever entertained the idea of going alone, but I thought it was an interesting concept. I don't have a problem being on stage in front of a crowd, but being in the crowd by myself is uncomfortable for me. I think it's cool though, the idea of doing something like that alone, just that it's not for me.
I don't think I went to a concert alone ever... I could have done so many times I guess but there's something holding me back. When it's in town there are always people I know, when it is further away I never take the effort of going alone. I'm not used to be alone during the whole concert or a music festival due to that. It's a bit silly to not go to a band you'd like to see just because you have to go alone but on the other hand I can fully understand it if you're simply not used to it and doubt you'll be comfortable on your own in a crowd Easier said than done: life begins at the end of your comfort zone :biggrin:
Back when I went to a lot of jam band shows I used to feel like I could let loose more when I went by myself
