Is it socially acceptable to go to a concert alone? Because I really want to see Dashboard Confessional...and no one I know appreciates the whole emo thing.
I think that some people may say, "no that's sad." And some may say, "Rock on, singleton." So how about if you tell me why you feel the way you do...
PS - sister, Margaret Cho is at the Chicago Theatre in July.
I know about Margaret Cho. Have been considering going. But it's just that things seem so busy already--and I don't want to overschedule my first month of commuting, just in case it's awful. It sucks, but I'll live.
ReplyDeleteAs for "Rock on Singletons!" I say go for it. But that should be no surprise, considering that I actually really enjoy going to movies alone. I find filmgoing a wonderful solitary engagement, and suspect that concert-going might be lovely too. Then again, I've never gone to a concert alone; I suppose I've never felt that strongly about going to a show that I felt like wandering out alone.
But if it came down to it (and it won't, because at the very least, S owes me for all the PJ shows I've gone to), I imagine I would go alone to the Dixie Chicks show.
At a few of the BNL concerts I have been to I have noticed a few concert goers that had obvisously come by themselves, and not to say this is you, they were the ones that were wearing former tour t-shirts and dancing away franticly in a scary sort of way.
ReplyDeleteI say if you want to go then go and forget what anyone is going to say or think about you going alone.
But can I say one more thing?
Thumbs down to Emo. Thumbs down man. :o)
I've gone to shows alone, and I've remained a remarkably social human being. Plus, you might want to not have anyone you know around when you're standing in the front row wailing "Screaming Infidelities" in Chris Carraba's face. Emo sucks.
ReplyDeleteWhew, you guys are HARSH.
