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?

constantly.
make friends at shows. its not that hard.

Hips that grind to scratchy indie hits and shoes that stick to nightclub floors...

just go on your own. it's not really a big deal. people will probably talk to you.

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
