... and i don't have anyone to go with. i might be able to talk the wife into going. i think she'll like lavender diamond & new porn (maybe not awkward stage) but she has a ton of school work in the next week. and the friend i usually go with to these sorta things is most likely busy. didn't really think i'd win so i didn't think i'd have to solve this pleasant problem. oh what to do! :P (i'd rather not go by myself.)

Sell one on craigslist. Not both.

Or, when you get to the show, if someone's looking for a ticket, be the nice guy and give away your extra. You might be able to get a free beer out of the deal.

You must have at least one friend who would gladly take a free ticket.

I would (and used to) miss a bunch of bands I'd want to see if I had to find someone to go with all the time.

Alone isn't so bad.

i might just go anyway. i've been wanting to see new porn for many years now.

i unintentionally went to a modest mouse concert by myself once. was to meet a friend there but at the last minute something came up that he didn't tell me about. It was fun, but i felt a bit awkward.

Almost the same thing happened to me at my first show. After a while I pretty much knew my friend wasn't showing up, but I kept looking at my watch anyway, thinking it anyone was watching they'd think I was waiting for someone.

Then I realized if anyone was watching, it would look like I'd been stood up.

Then I realized no one cares.

That may not be your hangup, but it was mine when thinking about going to shows alone.

if it's at the fox...grab a hottie from CU.

Just go by yourself. I do shows by myself all the time. As long as you buy a few beers you'll be fine.

once the music on, people couldn't give a rat's ass about you being alone. i was watching the show next to a couple o' gals the whole time, and we made fun of the douches in front of us. going alone is not bad at all.

Saw them tonight and they were great. We got Neko and Bejar. This is my third time seeing them and this is the first time i've seen Bejar, second time i've seen Case (Sasquatch) and the first time i've seen them together. Great show and great chemistry despite no July Jones.

Lavender Diamond was suprisingly refreshing and the opening band the akward stages showed a lot of promise (very good power pop...and they performed with lavender diamond later)

Gotta love Neko in a Dr. Pepper shirt
