Concert week 2023

@sammydog01 I picked up trivium & beartooth and Jimmy eat world & manchester orchestra. I’m considering counting crows & dashboard confessional and Boyz II Men, but I don’t know if I can talk anyone into going to those with me, and they are a little out of town. There’s more I would see but are like 5hrs away and I don’t like any of them that much.

@metaphore I saw Boys II Men here a few years ago. I have a series locally of about 20 concerts, including the Counting Crows and Dashboard Confessional. They just announced The Beach Boys. I’m more excited than I should be. (I go alone to most of them. Don’t judge.)

@sammydog01 21-22 I went to a bunch of shows alone, including 3 or 4 with 5hr drives but I got burnt out on driving. And then last year live Nation did there other thing in the fall? I think? Where it was 4 packs of tickets for $80 so I had to find others.

@metaphore I finally decided I’m too old to be driving home at 2 am. We got a hotel room after KISS and went to the beach the next day. But that kind of defeats the purpose of cheap tickets.

@sammydog01 a couple times, when the weather was favorable, I slept in my car after the show. One time I asked a guy I only knew on the internet if I could crash on his couch after the show since he was at it too. One time based on where the show was at, parking anywhere closes was gonna be like $30 and a hotel a 15 minute train ride away was only $50ish, that seemed like a good play.

@metaphore @sammydog01 Or it gives you an excuse for a little getaway.

@speediedelivery it’s no fun with someone that doesn’t really want to be there. My boyfriend is a pretty good sport when I want to drag him somewhere, but if it’s something he’s not gonna enjoy at all I’m not gonna subject him to that.
