is just so fucking lame, I can't do it! But Neil Hamburger is there tonight and I really want to see him but I can't get anyone to come with me :( :( Help! I've tried bribing people with beer, even!

it's not so bad at all. just look confident and happy to be there, and you'll maybe meet people there.

Yeah I guess. If I could get stoned I wouldn't care at all but that's not an option.
I do know a few people that will be there but they're only aquaintances so we'll get to have nice awkward small talk the whole time.

or start a conversation with someone you don't even know. someone who's sitting alone as well.
also, if you look friendly and approachable, people will want to talk to you

I did it all the time, prolly 5 years straight. I still wouldn't hesitate if the band can rise above the surroundings.
Course I'm a ex-drunken slob who's addicted to incomprehensible demoralization, other than that, really....I have no problem with it.

That's shitty man....I would go see the Hamburgler with you any time
I actually kind of like drinking alone when I go to bars. Gives you a minute to soak it all in without really focusing on having to make any kind of output to anyone.
I say just go.(y)

I went to the pub on my own on Friday but luckily I knew people there but it felt weird at first but my intention was to get drunk and after a few beers everyone will talk to anyone anyway

Most people have to work early tomorrow/were already doing something but I would have gone no matter what, and some of my friends don't really have my same sense of humor or at least I don't think would have enjoyed the show.
Ah well I found someone to come and it was fun! We didn't even have to pay because no one was manning the door at the time and I met Neil and took a photo with him and he said he liked my hat! WOooo
What do you get when you cross Elton John with a Siberian Tiger?
I don't know but you better keep it away from your ass
I go to bars alone all the time. I don't need to be social there. If I come across someone to talk to, I will, but I go there to drink, relax, and think. I'm pretty optimistic when in contact with people at bars, however I only go to bars that are relatively quiet, and not full of loud and idiotic people, and nor loud music. I hate loud music at bars. Having said that, going to bars alone all the time gets dull and boring. If it wasn't for wanting to relax my mind with alcohol, I would have no reason to want to go there. Also: I don't drink alcohol to get piss drunk.

i don't go to the bar alone, but i always end up going to shows/concerts by myself.
saturday night even, i went to see galactic and nobody i asked even knew who they were. only one person was willing to go (since i sent them a couple of their tunes to check out) but she wasn't old enough to get in.
but i always have to find people to drag to shows since none of my friends seem to listen to half the groups that i do.

suck a big saucy one
I don't like drinking alone, at home or at a bar.
And I always feel weird when I'm waiting for a friend to show up if i get to the bar early.
But going to a comedy show or a music show...no problem with that.
Last time I went to a bar alone it was last January and it sucked..thats why I avoid going out...I hate this town and I hate going out for nothing
