Anyone else?

Just curious if there’s anyone else?

There’s not really anyone in my life who feels about music, and especially live music the way I do. My dad raised me to love music with all my being, and he always believed a good concert can be life changing.

I’ve got 3 concerts planned between June and September. 2 of 3 I am going to alone, and I was having a discussion with a friend who thinks it’s weird I chose to go alone. I don’t go to concerts to do drugs or get drunk, and I certainly don’t judge those who do. But I am there for the music. The last time I brought someone to a concert they smoked a joint with a random stranger, and the way they reacted makes me think there was something else in that joint. I don’t want to have to babysit another adult when I’m at a concert. I practically had to carry him out at the end. By all means get high or hammered if you wish, but if I bring you I feel responsible for you and it ruins my experience. I love alcohol, and certainly partake but I like being close to the stage and don’t want to lose my spot, to use the bathroom either.

My dad was my concert buddy until he passed a few years ago. Also, I love bands pretty intensely when it clicks and if you only kinda like the band, which is the case for my friend and one of these concerts, I also don’t see a point in bringing you. I don’t want it to seem like I’m judging people who get smashed at concerts, you do you. I’m quite happy to rock out on my own, drinking my two drinks.
