Just bought my ticket to see Nothing solo on Wednesday. I have never been to a show by myself before.

 

This should be extra awkward.

I've been to hundreds of shows. I went with someone to less than two dozen of those. This was before smartphones too, so I had to just stand there (it was also before I started drinking).

 

It's awkward between bands but that's about it. Grab a drink at the bar and fuck around on your phone. Talk to the band at their merch table. Get them to sign the tour press and then $$$eBay$$$ that shit. It won't be so bad.

 

There's a Zen to doing typically social activities by yourself. I strongly believe it's healthy to do something like taking yourself out to dinner and a movie once in awhile.

Howdy people. Miami bound for The Cure. Can't wait.

If they play Disintegration, pour out a couple tears for ya boy Bruce Willy.

 

If they play A Forest, One Hundred Years, AND Disintegration then I kinda hate you. Throw in Fascination Street as well and I'll be so jealous it'll hurt.

 

With the way musicians are dying lately I'll probably need to travel to see them next time they tour, just in case.

Same. I used to hit up bars and random places by myself all the time and I always enjoyed myself, so I'm pretty excited to do this solo. It's just going to blow that my phone will be my default entertainment in between sets because I'm 99% terrified to talk to people, and I won't be indulging in any liquid courage this time around.

I hate going to concerts with friends, especially GA ones that will get rough. None of them are really into music and I always end up babysitting them to make sure they don't get hurt. Fuck that, just let me go alone, mosh, and have fun. 

 

The rest of the "typically social" things I do alone because I don't have anyone to do them with but concerts I strongly prefer to do alone

I took my best friend who (at the time) didn't listen to music (and now only listens to EDM) to a few hardcore/metal shows and it was always really funny. First show I took him to was Sounds of the Underground 2007 so he got exposued to A LOT. The first band was This is Hell, so his reaction to me moshing, pushing people or of my way, and climbing on people to get to the mic was hilarious. To this day he still brings it up. I just let the crowd take him away during The Acacia Strain. Then I crowd dived while crowd surfing and landed on him.

 

 

My girlfriend can hold down a pit like no one's business. She's not even really into my music but she'll level a dude 3-4x her size for trying to fuck with either of us.

Talking to people is terrifying. I've definitely walked away from girls trying to hit on me at shows.

I can't wait to get mine. I'm guessing it'll be at work for me this week. I'm anxious to see what variant it ends up being (probably black) and glad it was as inexpensive as I got it for :)

US? If so, they are all black. EU pressing had some gray marble though. What'd you pick it up for?

They didn't play Disintegration at my show, but we did get A Forest, One Hundred Years, and Fascination Street. The woman behind me brought her seven year old daughter, and she knew the words and screamed along to pretty much every song they played that night. It was adorable.
