I think I may taken the "I'm here for the opening acts" sentiment from festivals too far.

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Feb 22 '16, 23:15

I guess one advantage of going to shows alone is that if you don't like the act/music/crowd...leave

I was at The Echo and loved La Sera who I found entertaining and swoony as usual.

DIIV as the headliner...I learned that's pronounced dive.

To me they kind of sound like a synthless New Order but I just didn't get it. I gave them three songs and while they're good at what they do...just not my style

And then their fans upfront 1) had a mosh pit going during the first song 2) were crowd surfing during the third song

Good for the fans to have fun but....just didn't seem to fit the music IMO.

At least it was generally close and I feel I still got ticket value for seeing Katie (lead of La Sera) again

I always enjoyed vacations alone for the same reason. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 07:37
There's lots of time we leave soon after the headliner starts -- nm - jaxSean Feb 23, 04:27
