who said going to a gig by yourself is fun, your wrong. Wrong wrong wrong!
WRONG! *smashes plate on head*
I went and saw Gotye tonight, and since gotye himself put me on the door, (since I missed out on a ticket before they sold out) he failed to add a +1 to my name.
Hanging out with yourself sucks. All it did was made me depressed that I had no one to talk to. I tried talking to people, it failed miserably. Confirmed my suspicions that I'm just a complete loser.
Gotye was really good though, great show. Sucks that it was overridden by my utter suckiness.

yeah,I understand that.Especially when it's a small venue,you can feel all those eyes looking at you going 'look at that sad loner with his bottle of becks,constantly playing with their phone pretending they have friends' kind of thing

I've been to many shows by myself.
If the music didn't entertain you, then you need to go to better shows.

Well the show itself was really good, didn't bother me that I was on my own then, it was during the support act and between acts that I felt like a douche.
Florida?? cool. Did you see the shuttle take off? When you comin back to Australia?
Oh yeah and bigblu, apparently I'm meant to say saaawwwwwwsage. Is that right?

Are you sure they were weird weird looks, not 'Hey, how you dooooooin'' looks?
Positive thinking!!!

No I don't think so. No smiles involved. The only person who would look at me and say 'how YOU doooin?' would be a blind person with mental disabilities.

I totally understand that. I hate going anywhere alone (even if it's only to the supermarket). And it's not only because you have no one to talk to wherever you go, but also, because you have no one to talk about what you did/saw afterwards. A friend of mine even goes on vacations on her own for several weeks. I'd never do that...

gotye is not the kind of gig you go to on your own!
you go to big things on your own, BDO, massive concerts where people are moshing and where you'd lose the people you're with anyway.
i'd have trouble at a gotye gig... i bet there were lots of smoochy couples there too.

There sure were. It was a very good looking but clicky crowd. Oh well fuck it I saw Gotye for free

Make yourself look more approachable, I suppose. I don't know how you do that. Smile more?

I'm flying solo tonight to see the Beasties at Hammerstein, and I have a strong feeling I will not be disappointed.
Most of the time when I go to a show, I don't even notice the people around me.

Whenever I watch a house burn down, I urinate on the spot where I'm standing. It's a crowd-pleaser.

gotye sounds like a top guy. my friend showed up to his gig late and missed him perform, but saw him and he chatted to her for a while and signed some stuff from her and even sent her an email. i figured it was cos she's cute, but if he did you a favour too then he must just be one fucking cool dude (y)

He is a rad dude. I found out his personal email and emailed him one day, and surprise surprise, he emailed back. So we exchanged a few emails and I mentioned to him that I wouldnt be able to catch up with him for a beer as the show sold out, so he wrote back that he would put me on the door.
I was gunna hang around and see if I could talk to him after the show but there were so many people there that I didnt think id have a chance, but later I found out some chick I know thru myspace hung around and had a good chat with him. I was spewin. I wrote him another email but he hasnt written back as yet. :(
