| | | going to gigs & the cinema on your own i used to go to the cinema on my own when i knew no one else would want to watch the film i was going to see. pretty much everybody i know is into mainstream/blockbusters and not spanish/almodovar films too  . but i dont really do it anymore, i think i've actually become more self-concious but i'm trying to get back into it.
i've never been to a gig on my own though. but now i'm at uni my housemates suck and our musical tastes are not the same. but even if they were, they would still suck and i wouldn't go with them anyway. so anyways, i'm contemplating just going on my own because i've missed out on some really good bands because i didn't want to go solo. anybody been on their own before?

| | | Yeah, I go to gigs on my own ALL THE TIME. My friends aren't into my music nor into paying $30+ for shows, you know. You usually find cool people or else no one really cares that you're there on your own. I don't know. I've never felt self-conscious doing it. |

| | | i've been to gigs and the cinema alone a lot
i even made some of my best friends after i went to a gig alone.
the cinema makes sense to me although i'm not so keen on doing it anymore as when i worked at a cinema a lot of my workmates were unkind about the customers who always came by themselves...
at gigs no one cares. a lot of people go by themselves |

| | | I have gone to the cinema on my own loads of times, sometimes its nice to go off and do stuff on my own. Ive never been to a gig on my own although I have gone to gigs where im the only one out of my friends with a standing ticket because they left buying theirs too late. Also when ever I go with mates when we all have standing tickets we often get seperated anyway. |

| | | I went to movies literally thousands of times on my own as I decide to see a movie at the spur of the moment. And I see too many movies, so noone really can keep up with my moviegoing plans. As for gigs, I sometimes go on my own, but I prefer to go to gigs with friends. |

| | | it's a hard call. i personally can't get it together to go to a gig alone, yet. or maybe ever.
but i have no qualms about going to the movies alone -- and i dont think anyone should. unless it's like saturday night at 9pm... well, then i'd have to think about it.

You just get drunk then smile at other drunk people and they usually approach you and get chatting. It's okay. |

| | | i've been to a few gigs by myself, but only if it's a band I really want to see. though I did go to Arab Straps last ever gig by myself recently and I wasn't that bothered. A tout was eager to get home and gave me the ticket for a fiver.
I go to the cinema by myself tons, it's not a social thing really so why not?

If you do not like to sit alone waiting for the movie to start, just go there right at the start time, watch it and get out. |

| | the cinema kind of sucks if you're in the wrong mood. i went to see monsters ball on a dull sunday afternoon alone  but little miss sunshine i saw on a weekday alone and it was fine, enjoyable.
oh, and i went to salford to see mike leigh's 'naked' on my own, that truly sucked. |
