My biggest problem is spending too much money.
Well not really, spending it on the right things is what I can't do.
But each person has their kicks right.
The adventure and fun, sharing the glory of hearing music with other people in a venue, waiting for the artist/band to come out and play, the rush when they play THAT song I liked or know, the annoying sweaty people rubbing against me, the girls with long hair who can't keep their heads still so I keep getting hair in my face or worse on the bubblegum bubble I just blew, jumping like a idiot but avoiding the pit because I don't want to get bruised or lose my glasses, bending over when someone crowd surfs because they can't keep they feet still and thus kick me in my face + me not being tall enough to hold em up, checking out the merchandise but not buying anything above 6 euro because i spent it on drinks, going home with a smile on my face having a new experience to remember, trying to be the first to rip the set list of the stage or catch anything...ahum..well sumtin good the person on stage throws in the crowd.
The moment when the crowd is one massive group of friends jumping/dancing/enjoying themselves and help the fella up when he falls, the 'refreshing' drops of beer landing on you, wiping of your sweat on the person next to you because he's dry and you’re not, enjoying seeing a band or artist play the songs they had in their head and worked out to share with me and the rest of the people who came to see them, just not giving a flying fuck how stupid you look like losing yourself in the music.
Even if a have to go alone most of the time, i love going to gigs.
You know people always let the awkward kid pass, unless they're mean bastards.
All of the above makes it special.
Even if i saw the band more than once, then the crowd, the way i got there, the way i got my coat ticket and of the rest of the evening makes it special.
Oh how i love the tones that whisper in my ear when i turn the music on.
My parents think it’s a waste of money and some of my friends don't get why i pay to see a band i already saw,
but i don't see it as a waste.
It’s my addiction, my fix, my rush.
