Something I'd never done until Wednesday night was go to gig all on my lonesome... as of said night, this is no longer the case.
I booked my tix at the very last minute and couldn't find any company as a result - this meant I had to drive and, ergo; couldn't drink!! (Which was no fun whatsoever)
It's an odd sensation being in hall, full to bursting with other human beings, and feeling totally alone... not in an emo way, just matter-of-factly singular. Needless to say, once Modest Mouse made their presence known and took up their instruments for a show of monumental proportions, the loneliness quickly subsided and I was transported to a place where solitude wasn't something I was able to fathom since there was only room in my conciousness for appreciation and adoration.... and a dash of excitement thrown in for good measure.
Totally worth it.

Growing up an only child, I don't even think twice about going places alone most times. I imagine a concert would be a little daunting though. Glad you did it and had a great time.
