I regret missing melt-banana in providence b/c I didn't know anyone who wanted to go, in fact, I didn't know anyone there who was into the kind of music I liked (noize dudes were away at college I believe) so I missed all sorts of great shows

4) not buying the full length Sexual Harrasment record for 35$ although i knew i'd never see it again.

there always seems to be so much dead time at any given show before & between bands that going w/o someone to talk to is often dullsville

HELL YEAH, unless you, like, try to chat up strangers (which I tried ONE TIME) (albeit an XY rep) (awkward!), or you just find ways to amuse yrself watching the band set up / other people.

yeah, that's sort of my problem with flying solo. i'm a real chatty cathy, and if i don't have buds to talk to i'll get REAL drunk real fast and probably smoke a shit-ton of cigs. though, right about the time i left chicago it had gotten to the point that i'd probably run into familiar faces at shows even if i was alone.

OH WELL. maybe next year.

5) not studying more for these finals

I don't think I'm ever actually alone when I go to shows, Lexington's music scene is so incestuous there is a 33.3333% chance that a friend and/or former bandmate of mine is at the show/in the band/working at the club.

yeah honestly mtl is kinda like that too, i usually take the chance, but sometimes yknow

yeah i've definitely been in b-more long enough now that when i go out to a show alone i invariably run into people i know, but unfortunately it's more enervating small talk than a friendly how-do.

SECOND TIER CITIES... LOL

SOME OF US JUST CANNOT TAKE YOUR FIRST-TIER WAYS FOR MORE THAN FEW DAYS.

WE ALSO HAVE BETTER DINERS.

SO FUCK YOU.

first-teir ways = interacting with people you're pretty much guaranteed to never have seen before?

― grbchv! (gbx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 06:44 (seventeen years ago) link

sometimes going to a diner means never having to say you're sorry, and you just can't pull that off in the minors

40 WATTS OR LESS, PLZ

5) Neglecting the SICK stash of Silver Age books my hometown comic store pulled in back when I was a wee lad of 12-13 (1987-98), because I really needed every single issue of Manhunter & Star Brand.

Clean living, lots of fiber, and no sex!

6) going to bed at 1:30 am for the 8th night in a row instead of packing it in at 10 so i could get more than four hours sleep for a change.

gah! i met the dude that bought this record last night. he played it at a club and i asked him about it and apparently it was the exact same record and he talked the dude down to $15 because there was a slight warp in it.
