Re: Have You Ever Been To A Show By Yourself

Been to at least 5 shows solo that I can think of off the top of my head. 2 in LA in 09' and 3 D+T in vegas also in 09'.

    Those 2 shows were about the only shows out of 70 that I went with a buddy.

    Don't know if it's been posted previously (usually a dilligent back reader but today I'm drunk-posting), but one huge benefit of going by yourself...much easier to get a great single ticket at 10am on Saturday of the onsale, or on Stubhub the day before the show.

    Had a emotional moment when they played Pig as my father had passed away two months before. That song got me through the day he died....

    I told that story to the people around me before the show and how much I wanted to hear that song. When they played it all of the people around me were jumping up and down with me. It was a very memorable night.
    Back-reading...great story

    I live in CA and went to both Wrigleys and C-Ville 2010 by myself..also D+T C-ville 2011. It's the best - plus getting great seats as a single is so much easier than trying for multiples..I know that was said earlier - and it's the truth. I have met the greatest people going solo..there was never a minute when I felt alone, everyone is there for the same reason and I would definitely recommend it!

    Re: Have You Ever Been To A Show By Yourself

    Went and saw them at Charlotte two summers ago all by myself. I was actually planning on meeting up with a friend living there who believed she was going to the show, but it turned out she mistook it for a John Mayer concert the week before. It turned out alright though. It was a little awkward at first, but eventually started talking to some of the people around me and had a good time.

    Last summer, I decided to go to the Chicago Caravan at last second, and took the Greyhound from ATL to Chi-town alone and stayed 4 nights in a hostel by myself. Farthest i had ever traveled alone before, and to a giant city I had never been to before, so needless to say I was a little worried. But thanks to Ants, I was able to meet up and hang out with tons of great people, including spending all three days of the festival with two awesome ants. One of the best weekends I've ever had really, and it was a great experience traveling alone too.

    I went to governor's island last year alone, it was actually a great experience. I got to do whatever I wanted, I took a nap under one of the tents and got completely refreshed (After a night of getting hammered out of rage from the hurricane) and was SO ready for the show that night. If I absolutely had to go to a show alone, I would be all for it! However the festivals were a different kind of event, I'm sure a regular tour show would be fun solo as well. You meet great people while your there anyways.

    I rode to the show with buddies to do lawn, but the venue had people walking around with "UPGRADE" signs. You could get into the pavillion for $10. I paid the $10 for some second tier pavillion seat but sneaked down into the first. Did the whole show until the encore by myself, making friends with the people around me. Great, great time!

    if anyone is leaving the gorge this year immediately after the show... let me know because i am looking for a ride back to seattle for a 6am flight... also, if anyone wants to split on hotel, gas, partying, etc for the hangout and RR if rumors are true... i am willing to share... financially, i need to find people in the same boat so i can financially afford all this travel

    solid solo story very short and simply put. I met two dudes and hung out with them all of night 1 cville last fall waiting for the pit. I stood with them and talked dmb and music all night, it was cool. The next night i had seats all the way up in the last row. The seats directly next to me were (of course) those same two dudes. I dont know what the chances are, but it was enough to mind fuck me that the only two ppl i knew in the arena were right next to me.

    I went to MSG 08 by myself and hung out with the people next to me all night, made some great friends at CVille N2 and the AC Caravan. If you're personable and outgoing it's a great time, but I couldn't imagine going alone if I was shy.

    Went to Deer Creek in 2006 by myself. My friends who lived in Indiana were interested, but pulled out - it wasn't a big deal, as I met a lot of interesting people in the lot to hang with.
