I wouldn't know an Usher song to save my life, not my cup of tea, Gary is Usher's lighting designer, that's why I'm going

Not a Kylie fan but I decided to go along as my mates are, it will be a laugh I reckon. I'm more of a Rock fan, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is my fav group. Love The Killers, Kasabian, stuff like that. Or 90's underground house and Small dark clubs

yeah i've been to hundred and hundreds of gigs but i hate going on my own. especially club night gigs like this one is. hopefully my mate will tell me he is in the mood for it.

i don't mind going to the cinema on my own but gigs, i don't know why, i just hate it. :(
I used to go clubbing on my own too. I used to go to this one club every week, never pa*d to get in and made so many friends. If I didn't want to talk to anyone, I would just be off on my own dancing. the 90's were so good to me 8-)

Oh, what gig you going to aruif? I'm going to Usher tomorrow evening. Really looking forward to it!

I totally get the whole not going alone to gig thing. That's why I hardly ever go. :( Nobody comes with me. I guess with movies it's because you're sitting in the dark alone and it's hardly like you're moving which is why it's okay to go alone but at gigs, I like to dance and sing with someone!
i'm going to see the futureheads.
it's just the standing around on your own in a very social place, exactly that. if i could turn up just as they go on stage, fine and then leave just as they walk off stage. no problem. but i know i'll end up being half an hour early and what the hell do you do for half an hour in a club on your own, surrounded by 20 year olds when you're older than them, and they know it :(

baahhh


hope you enjoy usher. not my cup of tea but i bet he does a great show!!

Just go with the flow. In my day you could fiddle around with ciggies but now you can play with your phone. As for age, I can remember one of my club mates mother came down to visit. She came down the club and I was older than her hehe. Age is just a number.

Most 20 year olds look older than they are so hopefully that won't be an issue for you! You don't sound that old.

I've never been to see Usher - this is a first for me but I've liked 90% of his tracks as it is so hoping it will be good. Some Tichy Stryder or something will also be there. Never heard of him. :shifty:

Hopefully you'll enjoy your concert tomorrow! :cross: Let us know how it goes.

you've never heard of tinchy stryder? he's good for that sort of thing (not my sort of thing) I always say try and catch support acts, sometimes they end up being better than the main band. i will try catch the support tomorrow too!

this was number one for a few weeks last year:

i'm not that old but i can't pass for 20 anymore. maybe 25! :D

I'm guessing there's not many progheads on here then...
Go ahead, make my day - by visiting my blog: http://jacobthehobnob.wordpress.com/

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

i've decided not to go tonight. for 2 reasons.
1. i'm in angony with tooth ache
2. i really can't face going alone, especially with toothache.
