Shout out everyone seeing bands alone

Just been to see High Vis by myself. It was the first time I’ve been to a gig solo in 10+ years. I’ve never really thought about or noticed people going to shows alone until tonight.

My girl and my friends don’t really fw hardcore. I can sometimes drag people along but everyone was busy tonight. I wasn’t looking forward to standing alone. I considered bailing all day. But I thought nah, I fuck with this music heavy, and bands don’t come to my city often. I’m not gonna sit home and regret.

So glad I went. Had a blast. I was in the pit catching stage dives and holding the mic. Had a few friendly interactions. Life affirming shit.

I just wanted to shout out everyone else seeing bands alone. I spotted a couple of brothers tonight who were also alone and looked a bit uncomfortable. And I just wanted to show solidarity.

Be with your people. Support your scene and the bands you care about. Who knows you might have a great time. Beats sitting on the fucking couch!
